 are we going ,as the weekend before 3ma
  but will simon have his car back by then like last year

If I haven't got the car back from Mark by the 30th April then we're in real trouble cos I'll need it for the following Wednesday for 3MA11

Mark is not allowed to even sniff your car until I get my Gamma back! 

[simon131]

I didn't know that he was a 'car sniffer' Theo . I was rather hoping that he would be MoT'ing it!

See you all this weekend 

[Andy c]

we will be there especially as its a certain sombody's birthday and ive been told they want to spend the
day there.

[strada]

just the three of us again then?.  although i may be taking a strada this year,  not sure yet. need a multy car transporter really.

[Thotos]

I should be there too all going well and I suppose it makes sense to take the 131 as it's only a few days before 3ma11 

[Thotos]

See you all this weekend 

Not me it would seem as there's no need for me to be there 

[simon131]

Why not you Theo? You are always a very welcome sight at Mark's and besides, you can't have finished the Gamma rebuild yet - can you?

I haven't been able to get hold of Mark yet to confirm that he'll be there on Saturday for me to drop the Abarth (despite leaving a message ) so I might not be making the journey either. 

[Thotos]

you can't have finished the Gamma rebuild yet - can you?

No I haven't but the car had to go back to the paint shop for them to correct a few things and Tuesday became Thursday morning then Thursday afternoon then Friday last thing.... So the Gamma is not at Mark's this weekend  but sitting idle in the paint shop

I haven't been able to get hold of Mark yet to confirm that he'll be there on Saturday for me to drop the Abarth (despite leaving a message ) so I might not be making the journey either. 

Mark is probably (HOPEFULLY!) at the paint shop preparing the Gamma for the respray. Try him on his mobile although I know he is expecting you tomorrow.

[simon131]

I eventually got hold of Mark at lunchtime today and have arranged to drop the Abarth to him early-ish morning tomorrow. He wants to be away for about 11.30 I think so I'm aiming to be there about 10 to 10.30.
