Le Mans 2009

Just pie in the sky at the moment but I am thinking of going in the Dutton next year any interest from you guys.

[Ben Mallinson]

Sounds good to me mate if you give me a rough idea i can work out on my rota when i will be home around the time to see if we can get something organised. Will look forward to it!!!

[Adrian Southgate]

Aye Dave
Sounds like a plan, really kind of weather dependant. Sue seems to think our tent would fill the boot and wants to see about B&B's so maybe a route planning session is in order?

Also need to head over to Gary's as soon as weather permits, get his tub back on to test suspension heights out?
Let me know if your up for it and when.

Hi Ben, Let me have some dates that you could make it, are you up for camping or comfort? There looks to be 8 of us at the moment in 4 cars.

Dave,Ade,
Lake District sounds good - if weather OK. Definately interested in 1 day or 2 days but wife will insist on a B+B vs camping. Martin may also be interested, he's replaced his half shaft bearing on the Westfield + we did a compression test which gave healthy results. I had a drive the other week - no faster than the dutton but less noises + not as draughty. Speak to you soon. Steve

Hi Steve,
Looking on T'inernet I found Asness Farm B&B www.ashnessfarm.co.uk/bedbreakfast I will find out more when I have heard from Ben.

Hello Mate.

First of all sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. Either or for me mate i'm not fusy if i'm honest.

As for some dates well i am home as per the dates below:

12/03 until 01/04
16/04 until 06/05
21/05 until 10/06
25/06 until 15/07

As you will see the day i arrive home is a thursday so would probably be a push for me to get sorted for the first weekend however if that weekend suits others most then i will do everything possible to make sure i can come. Will also be depandent on the car being finished in time to but i am making progress so hopefully that will not be an issue.

Speak to you soon, Cheers.

How's 28th and 29th March sound to everybody? Still looking for a B&B that has secure parking off road, I am going to ring Ashness Farm tomorrow, will let you know.
Gary pop some pills pal cause your coming too.

[Adrian Southgate]

Its the weekend after our event so I am up for that.
Of course the later we leave it the better the weather will be (allegedly)

[Dave Taylor]

Ok then Summer, Country roads, Pubs, Lets do it. I make the call tomorrow see what the cost will be. This could also be a milestone for me, as Marian as said shes coming as well, only the second time she been in the dutton in 5 years...

[Adrian Southgate]

Posting off topic fer a sec... who's up for thurday night at Garys garage then, need to get the body back on and then off again so I can measure up the front suspension.

[Dave Taylor]

Possible I think, I am having a mover fitted to the Caravan at 4 tomorrow so I can get it in the back garden, so if that finished early enough I will be there. Our James is home now, so I am sure he's up for it too.
I'll give you a call tomorrow.

[Ben Mallinson]

Sounds to be alright with me to lads so long as the car is finished or drivable even if not finished!! Will really have to push along with it and hope that not to many more problems crop up along the way.

Mally.
