You never know Dan. I suppose some owners have got rallies a week or 2 before so dont want to commit at the moment. Going to be great seeing all of them lined up :D

Dave Jacobs now added to the list aswell :D

Cheers for the update captain. I have to say there are some car registrations and owners names that I have never heard before. Which will be nice to see at the event. Can anyone confirm if Mike Kitt is the owner of C870 EUD?

Mike Kitt is indeed the owner of C870 EUD Nicky, but rather than add information to the master list, I thought it better posting it in the form it arrived. There's a couple on there I'm not aware about as well Nicky! :wink:

Looks like Dave Jacobs (E264 AAM) and Mike Kitt (C870 EUD) have dropped out?

Such a shame to see that Dave Jacobs and Mike Kitt have dropped out :( Mike Kitts car is one of my favourtie 6R4s. Oh well still loads to have a look at and watch on the stage demos.

Got some great news everyone. I emailed prodrive to see if they would mind me putting my incar camera equipment in C749 LFM for the demo runs. I had a reply this morning giving the ok to put it in :D The only problem is that they havent got an intercom in the car so it will only be engine sounds that will be picked up on the audio. Even still, will be great to put the camera in such a 6R4/driver combination.

Excellent news Nicky!

Really cant wait for this now :D Its going to be awesome. Charging all my camcorder batteries, sorting tapes, memory cards etc, as I think I'll be taking pics or video footage for most of the weekend :lol: Got so many people to have a chat with aswell as a certain Lyle Armstrong who I have been talking to online for a while. I havent a clue what he looks like although im sure some peole will point him out to us.

I'll point Lyle out to you Nicky. :wink:

#@?*&!!!!! but it looks like I might just have to miss this weekend's gathering I'm afraid - to say I'm pissed off is an understatement! :cry: The reason? My car needs new rear trailing arm bushes fitted, and I really don't have the time or spare £s to get it done in time for this weekend - and I certainly wouldn't want to take on the 400-mile Derby>Bournemouth>Derby trip with the car in it's current condition! Leave it with me, and I'll see what other plans I can make. Failing that I might have to beg for a lift of someone. :roll:

Hiya Cap'n, Even though I've given up hope of my Metro arriving in time for the show,I'm still coming down to Bournemouth on Friday,picking Nicky up on my way south. We're staying at the Bournemouth Premier Inn on Friday night and travelling home on Saturday after the show,although I may yet arrange to kip over somewhere on Saturday night rather than risk falling asleep at the wheel! If you need a lift,I'm sure I could pick you up from Derby on my way south. All the best, Gary.

Well I tried not to let it get to me by not being able to go, but its annoying the feck out of me now Be glad when its over and see the pics from Graham Robins.net and ones on here that everyone is gonna take Bugger bugger bugger
