Put me down. Might even have built a Cossie by then if things work out for once!

If not I'll be driving a Mondy Si I think, so it should still be relatively cool for me and it would be a great way to get to know more of the PF crew properly.

Oooh i like the sound of this! Got a choice of 3 cars to bring aswell!


Omega
Golf GTi
Astra 2 litre turbo

Would really love to come in the astray, but the bad points would be reliability....good points would be that i run the car in, in one swoop.

Best get RAC covered if that's the case

sounds excellent, i would be up for it, may i suggest if folk are travelling a fare way you stop in the lake district for a night as there are plenty of nice places to stop and see. break the long journey up north nicely, plus i live in the lakes and its the perfect opportunity to meet the convoy.

On the TT Forum two guys did a tour of the UK, meeting up with different members along the way.

They said the driving in Scotland was AMAZING, they even had two way radios to enable "safe" overtaking!

Sounds like a top idea to me.
