The only reservation I made was for any kind of Stephen was for Stephen Duffy.

If it's you, please reply or PM me urgently!
Sounds like that's mine - which they should be able to tell from the card details, I would have thought. If they're still confused, I can call them, if that helps.

Had the 18th car confirmed last night (great news, Dezzy!) and at least 34 people (some not sure if partners/family are coming along yet).

Come on guys, we've got to get to 20 cars, surely? Then we can leave the '8s parked up at the hotel/campsite and hire a mini bus for the 'cruise'

Still not identified the mystery caller! He has a credit/debit card ending in 5553 and could be Steven or Mr Stevens. Please let me know if it's you.

Also, can everyone who's booked into the Tyndrum Inn (and the campsites, but please make that clear) send me a PM with your last name and a mobile phone number (I won't publish it), plus a declaration that you don't have a credit card ending in 5553!

Then I can check the reservation list with the hotel.

Thanks - Jim

I have now added details of this meet to the German A8 Freunde Forum so you might warn the hotels and campsites that they may be getting some calls from Germany for accommodation!

I might just have to take you up on that offer, seeing as I have my next car. I am sorry to report that it runs on satan's fuel and someone stuck a three pointed star on the grill at the factory. But in my defence I think the car is pretty special for me and the dealer blew his brains out on the deal to ensure I took it this month.

Just confirming another support vehicle will be at the meet, SWMBO has her time off work confirmed, so we will be there on the Friday and Saturday evenings, then heading to Edinburgh for a couple of days afterwards.

Am waiting to hear back from The Tyndrum tomorrow if they can squeeze us in, failing that I'm sure we'll find somewhere relatively close by (SWMBO will not consider camping though!)
