I should be there, not sure how long I'll be able to stay though, due to work commitments. Can someone please confirm the exact location 4 me please? Oh and I am aiming for 18:30. Cheers.

You just moved to the area Wes? I'm coming from Goddie, could meet you in St Ives either at the little access roundabout, 1st left off the actual A14 roundabout (the one over the bridge going Hunt way) or down Elizabeth way (left opposite the LEL on way out). Got a mate there with nice silver 350z... and no, he can't leave me behind in the twisties... in the dry, tho I may have been trying harder!

How do you travel south to anywhere?!!!

It's very easy, but I'm sure there'll be a few who will convoy down.

Just get on the A14 toward Cambridge and stay on it until it goes into 3 lanes. Left lane stays as the A14 toward Newmarket. The other two lanes turn into the M11. So you take the M11 and after a few miles you get to the first exit (junction 12). Come off here and follow the sign for Granchester at the roundabout. It's only a mile or so to get into Granchester and when you come to a T-junction in the village turn right. The Red Lion is then on the left opposite another pub. Car park is opposite the Red Lion itself.

Yeah, although he'll need reminding. He is known as goldfish at work!

Will get FozzyRev3 too. He has just got his tubby back from Rogue = 280bhp at the wheels!

By the way, hope it goes OK tues ChrisW. Any concerns? Mine failed on a caliper... goodbye £100. And I've now got to find more orange paint to match it! Do I bother with heat resistant on the rear?

Orange calipers? You tart :D

I'm going to check the car over this weekend - not that I really know what I'm looking for! Only concerns are a few rattles and a slight oil leak. Had a huge bill last year so hoping it sails through this time...

Hi guys. Looking for some Toyota/Mr2 stickers to go on the centre of my alloys. Don't suppose anyone's got any spares I can buy from them at the meet have they?

Also how long do these meets generally last, and what do they entail?

Generally 2 or 3 hours of inspecting each other's MR2s, talking about MR2s, sometimes driving our MR2s, taking photos and a quick drink in the pub.

Cheers. Well I'll be there from 18:30 but will probably have to leave before the end because I start work at 22:00 and have to get back to Peterborough!

Gonna whack it in TomTom and get some approx journey times. Anyone got an address for this place?

Cheers

I should add that the food there is great and they have a really nice garden. Also there are views across fields to King's College a short walk away.
