oK guys whats the plan? Did i mention that im miffed about missing the Stoneleigh convoy???

Q1 - what route is best for Newark.

Q2 - where are best meeting points?

Q3 - who is going?

Q4 - Lets arrange a combined Mac#1 / Mk owners area.

Will be tough for me to do Newark but will try (get back Fri night after family holiday to Sorrento.)

You best get finished!! We needed some company at the back of the convoy today in out trusty little pinto. Hope you get the car sorted

OMG - not somone else to have a dig

Today was first real shake down test of the car. I could live with the gearboc oil leak. Dizzy cap failure was totally unexpected. Managed to get a new one within 1 hour but unfortunately couldnt catch up.

2nd fault was heat soak in the entrance queue - again easily fixed for next time (better bonnet vents, fan overide switch and maybe some exhaust wrap. Bike carb conversion will allow me to cut bonnet out when i suss out new filter position.

All in all i should be overjoyed. Return journey was faultless. I even saw 3 figures for first time ever on way down (then i lost a magnet and did most of journey at 'half' speed).


I really need to do Newark if family and funds permit! I just want to do a convoy.

Sunday will be good. Make that the first decision.
Next - route and meeting points??

a1 for you pal, id join you at wetherby or m62

If you have never been to southern Italy before, It really is nice , but a word of warning, on any form of public transport or crowded place there are very clever pickpockets. Go to Pompei its brill.

Cheers Steve for that - il keep wallet safe.

Does anyone have a link for the newark showground. I want to see if there is a good route avoiding the motorways (Maybe only going so far on A1 then go cross country).

Just hope i can fix gearbox leak by then!

Planing a meeting point at BLYTH sevices,then a nice bit of A & B road driving to the show,will keep everyone posted.

Gutted to be missing it, but I'm forced to go to Le mans.

Have fun!

Had a talk to one of our delivery drivers today and he told me there are a lot of new speed check gatso's in the area of the show ground so beware chap's.
Anyone know where they are?
