[cozmeister]

I'll do my best to peel my eyelids open.

If it's Thickthorn at 6:30, it'll be Newmarket at 7:30ish.

Keep going until you get to the BP garage on the 3 lane section of the A14 after Newmarket for 730.  Usually we're the only ones at Thetford, but we'll be joining at Newmarket, unless there's anyone else in the Thetford area.

Germany and/or Sweden - most of Europe got options we didn't.

Brazil apparently, thats the best i got in terms of a sniff. Can't find sign or sight of any of the parts or brackets though. Maybe it never left the pages of microcat.....

This is true, just look at the heated leather Recaro's for the German 4x4 Saphs........... would love that!

I'll tag along with you freeman call Saturday night

[cozmeister]

I'm glad you all had a good time, looks like we missed a good show.

Reason for me not being there is that I ended up working this weekend at short notice.

My colleague's missus was expecting their wee bairn to arrive this weekend.  Unfortunately for us, she decided that it was time for her waters to break late on Saturday (I think that's another way of saying she peed herself).  As my colleague was supposed to be on call but became unreachable for obvious reasons on Saturday afternoon, the weekend work duties defaulted to me.

Unfortunately as some of you know, when on call, I'm expected to be in spitting distance of the office "just in case", so trolling off to Pod was sadly not an option.

If you're interested, the little'un was apparently delivered this morning, but we've got no idea about any other details, except that like most newborn babies, she's unfortunately inherited her parents looks.

[RST-Steve]

Its a real shame you couldn't make it Chris but just sounds like unfortunate timing again sadly At least your ok and so is the car......... we were wondering the car had gone bang or something equally unpleasant!

yea that's what sprung to mind! Bad times indeed, but not what we'd feared.

[Joanne]

It was made all the more frustrating by the fact that i spent nearly 4 hours polishing and cleaning the car.

On a more positive note, i think it's the best the car has looked in a long time

Harvey Gibbs built it this time, so I'd hope not.
