James,

bring the kercher anyway. I'll sort something when I get there.

Despite some last minute dramas (try finding a replacement track rod end at 4pm on a friday) the scabby '8 and I will be there. Does anyone have a clue what the nearest services are to the M1 / M25 junction are? I'd like to follow oli and our german brother up but can't think of somewhere sensible to meet up.

Bill

Ps Despite claiming not to care I did wash two weeks of grime off on wednesday evening to make a wash and polish easier this weekend. So far three seagulls have emptied their capacious bowels over it. A message from the man upstairs?

Hi Bill Toddington Services will probably be the first that both of you would get to - between junction 11 (luton) and junction 12 (toddington)
