Jimmy - I see that you are getting in a few mods (door sills) prior to the GTG!
I have tried to stake my claim on a few parts I wish to purchase from Shude, so hopefully he will make it and I can add a few little extras during the day!
Does your company sell wiper blades? I can't remember if you did or not.
If you do, will you be open for sales?
The last MB rubber refil I got was worse than the blade it replaced, to the extent I have now reverted!

We stock Trico wiper blades, funnily enough I have quite a few C-class ones in stock.
The shop won't be officially open, but I can't see a problem with taking your money.

This food thing will get complicated unless controlled?
Who is bringing what?
What do you want us to bring, apart from caviar?

I agree. Want to contribute, but dont want to bring the wrong thing. Let's either have someone take charge and allocate stuff, or let Jimmy do as offered and we'll have a whip around once there.
Jimmy - what is California Car Wash?
Is it an office or engineering unit or actually a car wash?
Could save myself a whole lot of prep time, if someone can do my car, 30 secs from the GTG
- as long as it's not mechanical car wash.

I think it would be best to do a 'Cook what you bring' BBQ, I will supply the basics like bread rolls, sausage rolls, butter/marg, tea/coffee, a few sausages, burgers etc.
If everybody else wants to bring something like burgers, sausages, steak, chicken, kebabs, caviar, fizzy pop and whatever else to cook themselves.
No point in bringing tons of stuff, just enough for yourself, and I dont want a whip round, although it is kind of you to offer, thanks.
Thanks to Black180 for offering to come a little earlier and help get things ready, much appreciated.
Just hope it doesn't rain but then theres no point in worrying about that.
looking forward to meeting you all, well most of you.

Graham,
Yes the California Car Wash is a real car wash.
But it is a mechanical one, they also have washing and vacuum bays, not even sure if it is open on Sunday's. There is a hosepipe available at the GTG venue if anybody wants to use it.
It's not a concourse competition is it?

Ahh, water on site. Saves me bringing my 2, 5 litre water canisters with me. When full they do lower the car some what
Not a competition no, as my car is a working car and comes complete with scuffs scratches and chips!
But I will make an effort as long as it's dry and Vinay will be comeing up the M11 @ 40mph so as to not get any dirt on his car
EDIT: food sounds good. I can handle a trip to the supermarket on route to buy somthing to cremate + something sweet for after.

Likewise, although I think I will get as lost (poor man with no sat nav
) as anyone, I am one of the more local amoung us (MK), so time is not a problem.If you should need any assistance earlier let me know. Otherwise I intend to be prompt to see everyone else roll up anyway.
