are we having a mini E24 line up? I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want your cars anywhere near mine BTW :D

But if so should we meet nearby and roll in together? I'm up for an early arrival BTW; how about 8.30-8.45am at the Premier Inn/Harvester car park on the A5 just NW of M1 J9?

[easily found on google maps; I tried to post a link but I couldn't for some reason...]

Wellllllllllllllll.

I have persuaded the wife to come but said we do not need to leave home until about 8.30. I will have to see how I can renegotiate this. Rgds, John

if you want to make it a bit later that would be fine with me; no-one wants to upset your other half!

How about same place 9-30 then?

Thanks John for bringing this event to my attention. Good selection of cars on display. Thanks to Bruce for making up the convey (of 2 E24's :D ) and for the useful tips. A few photos of some of the more exotic.
