Cheers for the upgrade! It is only a rather underpowered 1.4 at the moment. Though I do now have a pile of F7P bits in my garage, Chris is an extremely bad influence!

I can't believe I missed this. I don't have a roadworthy volvo at the moment, just some FFWD Toss, but all the same. Do it next year and I'll bring 3 volvos. :lol:

Any dates/locations for 2011 yet? Would love to join in and re-enter D47 VCF! Lots of great pictures of it on here.
7.52pm: I'm jealous. I really wish that I was a) a Fulham fan; and b) at Craven Cottage. What a night for them. The players are still on the pitch, loving it.

I think we decided to go ahead with this in early July, so you're over-estimating our forward planning :)

I suspect it'll be a similar time of year. Whether or not we go back to Crich is a good question, but it is a great venue. I suspect the weekend will be centred somewhere in that part of the world, regardless of where the 'sunday attraction' is.

cheers

Any chance we could do a car based location this time? As much as I like steam engines I'd much rather be looking at racing history or some really cool old cars. Just an idea, being a car club and all :lol:

Well they were electric trams, but I take your point ;)

Got any suggestions? I'm all ears! We did a meet at Donnington once, but it wasn't that exciting...

cheers
