East Midlands (NOT SO ) mini meet
Right, just looked at the route, still not sure I'm coming yet, but if I do... it's not as far as I though, 160miles each way. So just looking a lot more likely.

Chris - fancy going up in the same car if you go? Not entirely sure I'll be going myself yet, as I've got an MR2 engine to change, Fioner to fix (battery keeps dieing), a car to sale, plus a new car to pick up and work on!

Keen, I'm only taking Fake if I get the thermostat and timing belt changed, and sorted out a few other bits, but sounds like a plan!

I'll have a crack, now that Pettaw has shown me the ropes. Not sure which car I'll be in yet...we'll see. I might even appear in the 240

It's the car I was trying to find a good home for a little while ago. It could stay where it was, so I've now been able to provide it with a good home! For now it's a parts shed, but I'm planning to use it as a daily driver for a bit while I take my 360 off the road for a few weeks for various bits and bobs of work.

There are directions to Donington Park on their web site.
I did telephone and ask if we would be allowed to turn up and they said it would be ok. However, if they take a look at us and think otherwise there are always pubs that we could head off to.

Anyone coming from the south/via Birmingham might want to pop up the A42 and come off a bit early for the A453, which is quite a fun drive if you don't get stuck behind something.
