Nice one Angus :D

I've arranged a power supply for the weekend, although this is supplied by Donington at a cost of £22 (No other way round it I'm afraid).

I'm sure the members on the convoy wont mind a small donation to promote our cars. (I hope).

Thanks again, see you saturday.

The "profit" from the stickers will cover that cost. It's there to support things like this. I'll just need a receipt because it's all going through my company account (under the heading of "marketing" <ahem> "n-gate ltd. professional forensic science services"</ahem> - that should keep it legal).

I make that as nearly 20 Excel owners on the forum who have said they are coming to Donington this weekend?

I am leaving this afternoon, so I will be there for the meet/convoy sat morning. I also will be at the show on Sunday for a little bit before having to go home again. :(

Is the museum car par really easy to find if you haven't been to Donington before?

I see the Dakota bar keeps being mentioned, are there a few drinks happening there?

Mr Marshall, you have PM!

I am really looking forward to it all!

Chris

You cant miss the museum car park ( famous last words ) its next to the entrance to Donington when travelling from the airpost side.

We are ready to go. The cars are in and our area is right in the middle, straight in front of you as you come in the main entrance.

See you all tomorrow.

Well done guys - the tech. support vehicle is at the Dakota and the kit is in my room just now. Will be there on schedule in the morning. nice 30 min run down (according to RAC :roll: - 15 mins really :wink: ) for me, just to get the engine properly warmed.

I found the bunting, remembered the stickers, the laptops (including TV tuner) and the projector + DVDs.

Suspect I may have to investigate the beer now....
