Found an unopened OEM touch-up pen whilst clearing out the garage, and I'll hand it over if it's of use to anyone.

See you all in 10 days or so :)
I have a set of new e85 Wipers still in their packaging that can go in the raffle if you want Craig.

See you soon mate. :thumbsup:


That would be great Jim, Thanks...and see you soon mate :D :driving:

I post this every year, and no-one ever takes it up.
however..

I'm driving from Nottingham on the Friday.

I'll be taking one of these routes:

If anyone is travelling up on the Friday, and will go along any of those routes, and fancies driving in convoy...let me know :)

I'm travelling up Friday afternoon, but from Liverpool, which is only a 90 minute drive for me - but depending on how early I can finish work I will often divert through the Forest of Bowland.

Not much of a cross-over opportunity, but still happy to meet up somewhere and mini-convoy.

ETA - won't be driving/stopping particularly quickly though as the new discs I ordered for delivery today (paid extra) will now not be here until Monday at the earliest - which means I won't get chance to do my disc & pad change for the National :headbang:
Trigger’s Z4MC
Some bits now over 163,000 miles, some less than 1,000 miles.
Individual Ruby Black, Individual extended champagne leather, plus many options

First meet for us, we are doing the Sat drive only.
Do we get a route with the planned stops and guide times or do we just turn up for 10am at Crooklands and play follow my leader? Cheers :D

Was going to wait until Friday to see if the discs would arrive, but the disc supplier has now said there's a delay on one the front left disc and they possibly won't be here until the middle of July.

Checked with BMW & EuroCarParts and they're both out of stock of the same front left disc.

So I've just done the pads - and adjusted the suspension a click harder on the front :driving:

Would recommend staying for the BBQ on Saturday evening....it's a good social event. Worth bringing a couple of camping chairs if you are although there's normally plenty of seats outside the camp site bar.

Hope you enjoy it Saturday. :thumbsup:

Just to answer a few points.

I will be providing route details on the day and I'm sure we'll loose a few as usual!
Saturday is a Lakes run along western edge so plenty of A roads then into the lakes via Honnister Pass. Lunch in Keswick if we can park. Then back through lakes for raffle and BBQ

Sunday will be a run up to Alston then back through Whores :cry: did I spell that right? Covering the Stang forest road, Buttertubs Pass and the Hawes to Ingleton road. Usually great driving roads. Hopefully weather will be ok looking mixed at the moment.

Thanks for answering that John...just finished replying to half-a-dozen pm's :D
Yes, John has sorted some great routes(and info sheets) as always :thumbsup:

As me and John have discussed....we will be doing roads that are National meet favourites, with a nod back to the 1st Meet (if I remember correctly, lol) , where we had a photo-stop at Sillcroft beach/car-park.

Not that it matters - but I think that was the first National that we took the Red Zed too - which makes it four years ago. Remember taking a photo of Siftah standing on a tractor and a group shot on the beach.

Is this the fifth or sixth national?
Blue Z4C now long gone, as is it's replacement, and the Red Zed's gone too.. now piloting a rather tasty Carmine flat6
