Would love to say i will be going down in my Alfa Giulia GT Sprint again but will buckle at the last moment and take the service van down again, Ice cold beer being more important than collecting speeding tickets this year!

Ignition system dependant, I will again be a passenger in Co-Pilot Dick's Triumph TR6 (my cobra is taking another year's rest).

We'll be accompanied by the usual East Anglian Cobrateers in noisy, V8 engined roadsters with no boot space  ::)

My trusty Aston V8 will be making yet another trip!  All 3 classics and this will be it's 3rd 24hrs,  it has to support it's young upstart cousins!
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

Vqdave, give me a shout if you want any GTV advice. Great cars if you can find one that still has metal in it!

A very unglamourous VW Passat TDi, but it is not what gets you there that is important but that you are there...  Of course I might change my opinion somewhat if I came into some money and could afford something exotic  ;)

Trusty old Saab 9-3, black with big trailer and probably a roofbox  ;D

Me, KK, James & Jordan going down Sunday night, stopping in Alecon for a run to MB on Monday morning. 

Surely it can't be long...
