Following on from this thread, I'm going to have a go at arranging something. It will be on a Sat Night/Sunday morning some time in May or Early June. Coming to this will entail getting yourself and your car to a central London location at some ridiculous hour of the night for a specific departure time so bear that in mind. I will work out a route and places to stop. For anyone who has a broken car or isn't driving for some reason it is likely that passenger seats will be available. Organisation will be by PM or Email. So if you think you want to loose a nights sleep purely to drive around some empty city streets as dawn breaks then send me a PM. No need to if you already have. I'll get back in touch after I've had a few more.   |

^^ CC doesn't apply at weekends, or at night! And anyway, the fuel for the round trip (Newcastle - London - Newcastle) would come to quite a bit more than the charge.

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

pid, I'll add your name to the list but if there are other Farina lovers who want to come it'd be handy to have names/numbers. No rush at the moment obviously. Panda, as Scary says, we can drive where we like at that time on a weekend. Big Brother CCTV not withstanding  Keep the PMs coming folks.  |

Oooh!
If (that's a BIG IF!) I can get the Fugitive running then I will almost certainly want to be there if that's OK??
What kind of opps are there for taking preeety pictures? I LOVED the shots you took and would really like to flex my shutter finger to capture some for myself if I came along. I know the focus is on the driving, but do you make stops for drive-bys at various locations etc..??
Please put my name down as a provisional and this'll give me the incentive to get the Fugitive up & running.
Thanks Seth. ;D

Sorry Steve but if I can make it I'd probably be going down to see some of my family the day before and maybe comandeering one of their sofas for a few hours shut eye before heading into C.London in the wee hours of the morning.
If the Fugitive is up & running soon then I'm happy to take you out for a blast around Brizzle somewhere (any excuse ;D)

Would I be able to get a passenger seat with anyone? I'd be happy to drive down to London and meet there, just don't think my 2002 Passat would be quite the right thing to do it in.

I'm sure there'll be passenger seats available WillC. I've added those who have expressed interest to today to the list but probably won't send out another PM 'til tomorrow night or Sunday so don't panic |

Deep interest being expressed here! However i'd only be able to do it in the 500. Retro enough? Also could a mate come along in his lowered and RS Watanabe'd MX5?

I've hopefully just sent out a PM to everyone who has contacted me or expressed an interest so far. If you are one of those people and you haven't had the message confirming the date then please get in touch. I'm closing the list for the time being but if you would like to come and haven't yet been in contact then please let me know as I'm sure there will be people who drop out and space will become available. |
