Paul probably already has and is probably on the case

Done

I'd have definitely come to this, but I'm doing a LOT activity day on the 7th. Only way I'll be coming to this is if the weather is really bad

I'll be a maybe for that....Poor Tom Wheatcroft would be turning in his grave. What a disappointment after all the excitement when they won the GP rights....

Donningtons are great track in its original form.
I was there in '93 for THAT lap........

can this forum be added to list on the save donington website?

what day is this again?

I've asked if we can.

Sunday March 7th.

currently checking availability, would be chuffed to play a part in this

We're now on the website.

Looks like there's going be a good turn out.

anybody for a quick drink in the ragley boat stop after, just off the a50?

Is that the place we went to last time?

yes pete

That would be good.

guys, really sorry but i will have to pull out due to knowing i will be waking up at Mario's that morning with a hang over from hell!!!

sorry...

well with the italian stallions dropping out, i better confirm i'll be there for definite...

oh, and this after a full day on the lash saturday lads!!! can you take it or not?

Well I'm out the night before as well so I think I may be a bit fragile :-)

lol Proccy, by the time we get in you will be getting up to go lol

Proccy come out with the two italians on the Saturday...

... Then we will see if you make it out on the Sunday

now thats a challenge!

no problem, depending what it is you drink...if you think i'm sitting in a bar at spa drinking girly cocktails with you lot you're mistaken - lets see you on the guinness

Peroni mate - Guinness isnt a proper drink. (mario offends half the population - oops)
anyway roumer has it that your one for the malibu and coke

only if you're nice to me, you cheeky boy...

i may have to pull out of this one, just been told i have a job on sunday, but i will be trying my best to re schedual it so ill keep you posted.

I will be enjoying the delights of an equipment audit in a datacentre in Nottingham on Sunday.

Seriously, I really know how to enjoy a weekend, I'll spare you guys a thought while I'm cheek deep in noise and dust. I'll stop now before you all get too jealous...

paul etc - anyone coming along the a50 on the way? if so can i join you? let me know what time you're due at toyota...

I should be there assuming i don't suffer any breakdowns in the meantime/on the way there.

Are we all meeting up somewhere? I'll be coming down M1

we'll be coming from the other side matt, ie a50 west of donington....be good to see you and swap horror stories - assuming we both get there

My money is on one of us not making it - I broke down on Monday so it's your turn now!

well i broke down twice last week so i dispute that

I *should* be at this, if I can find it in me to tax the car this month, its not as if its getting used

Bloody hell, that means it's my turn again. I hope my coolant hose of death holds out for another week!

we'll be ok mate, i reckon we must have run a family of black cats over. there aint much left to replace now for either of us!!

Steve I'll give you a ring when I get uttoxeter should be about 7.30 and if we meet with everyone else at the services near the airport about 8.

Shall i just see you there then?

Meet you at the services Matt you'll be coming off at J24 head for the airport and Donington and the services are at the top of the roundabout.

I will be there for this.Its only 5 mins up the road from me.

Paul - please could you PM me your mobile no and a postcode for the services and what time i need to be there. Cheers mate.

Good work John-are you bringing your LE?

Pm sent Matt.

corrected for you matt

Yeah right.Mine has been broken longer that yours.Need to put up a RIP LE 119 post

And its a no spanners allowed day.
And im hoping that your stretched hose of death has been replaced Matthew?

Have a good day guys. As the weather's looking great tomorrow I'll be off down to London for an airfield hooning day. I really hope they can get Donington back on it's feet.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it tomorrow.
Have fun all of you.

well have a good day never the less Pete.

Are we meeting anywhere before we meet there?

Sorry too hear that Pete.

Which way are you going Sam?

I haven't looked yet to be honest, Ill have to have a run up the M54.

I would like to follow some one as I have a lovely nack even with satnav at ending up in the wrong place

A bit of a long way round Sam but you can come up the M54 then M6 too J15 and then follow me if you want?

Ok mate, name a place you want to meet and time, ill be there

I have washed the car ready and even cleaned the inside out (car mats in the washing machine as we speak)

Sorry guys i'm going to have to drop out. My coolant hose of death failed on monday and i haven't been able to source a replacement yet. I don't want to risk doing 200 miles on a bodged hose.

Have a good time

I'm going to leave this one, too early for me and not enough attending but im def going to be at the cosford meet, come rain or shine! Don't see enough coops as it is

FFS Been up since 6am trying to move the coupe and true to its typical fashion. the handbrake is solid and im just dragging the ass of the coupe everywhere I go.
I cant affort to cook the rear calipers and disks so unless it magics its self a non froze handbreak, i'm stuck here

Sorry to have to drop out at such sort notice peeps

Tommy, its ok, no one expected you to be there any way

Looks like it's just me and proccy

Shame I couldn't make it this time, but am disappointed to see everyone dropping out

still frozen on just got above 1c here

Im gutted I couldn't make this

well just got back after a tremendous drive there and an extremely interesting and fulfilling day at donington. only paul and me turned up (plus little joe of course) and i have to say it was a shame after all the efforts of paul to galvanise some support for an extremely good cause. loads of other marques there, making a huge effort from all over the uk!

the museum is top class and there were plenty of ways to contribute towards saving this brilliant, well-loved track. yes it was cold at 8am, but what a stunning day after and i think anyone who was able to come and didn't has made a huge mistake and missed a fantastic event.

nice to see you again paul, look forward to the next one....

Thanks Steve.

It was a fantastic day made even better by the grid girls

oooh yes, i forgot those - i bet joe won't...

I don't think I'll forget them either

True lol, i'll be at the cosford one though, mot parts permitting

I was there..Got there about 11ish.
Nice selection of Deltas there.One day i will have one.
Shame to only see 2 coupes.

Didnt see you fellas.

But took a piccy anyways.
