Hi,

I will still attend although I havent ordered any food. I wrote an email to the place because of some special dietary requirements but havent gotten an answer...

We're looking forward to seeing you all.

Best regards
Jeffrey + Monika

__________________
2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions and extended leather. Ski hatch retrofit. Aftermarket reversing camera. DVB-T and XCarlink now removed as redundant.
2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

You can put a postcode into the RNS-D (just enter it as you would a city name) but it's not very accurate.

I enter the co-ordinates instead. Much more accurate than postcodes. Find the place in Google Maps/Street, right-click and select "What's here?", click on the co-ordinate link in the box that pops up and it will give you co-ordinates (in the directions box) in the format used by RNS-D.

These are the co-ordinates I've pre-programmed into my RNS-D:

The Lindisfarne Inn
55°40'19.7"N, 1°54'59.3"W

Bamburgh Castle
55°36'29.6"N, 1°42'29.7"W

Holy Island
55°40'52.2"N, 1°50'47.8"W

Prestige Motor Services Limited
54°31'44.2"N, 1°21'31.4"W

Hi all my car is in bits at the moment, my ex boss did offer the loan of his RS4 for the weekend! but i didn't want to be responsible for it! i don't think i'd be able to sleep with it parked up outside. so I've borrowed a little blue car i think its a Hyundai. my mate just calls it the blue car. so i'll just turn up on sunday at Prestige.
I look forward to seeing you all Dave
