Anyone like to travel in convoy on the day? Can meet on JT 21 M1 Foss Park at 8.45am. Will leave 9.15am sharp. So will arrive Synter between 10am and 10.15am.
Is this at the Motorway Services or somewhere else?
Thanks I'll aim for that

Re: Another D5 S ordered

Hi John, firstly congrats on the car - it's a rare beast these days. Personally I'm not a fan of white leather of any kind - it shows the dirt so quickly and it's a dog to keep clean. Merino is the same leather you'll find in the M5 and is definitely worth the step up from Nappa. Nappa feels cheap. ...

I've been a few times and always enjoyed it. As has been mentioned above it's much better avoiding the weekend when it gets too crowded. If driving down be aware then winter tyres are essential and you'll need to get a Swiss motorway vignette. Hotels can get very expensive and hard to find at that t...

I used to organize lots of meets and tours etc. and we never worried about liability insurance. It was all voluntary and good spirited. It's a shame that the environment has changed to the extent that people are getting sued left right and centre often without merit, to the extent that meets cannot ...

yes there is a DPF and it needs replacing every 70k-100k miles - it's a £1000+ job sadly and removing it is an MOT fail
