Right guys. Now back home from some training.
The start point for the off will allow some Frank Bough for those McD fiends.

If those fom the valleys want they can meet us on the services north of the Raglan junction on the A449, again there's a Fat Boy facilitiy to use.

So. McD J24 Coldra at 9am. Leave at 9.30am. Pick up the others about 9.45ish. Tunnel run through Monmouth then some roundabout action up to the M50. Quick zip down the M5 to the Powerstation turn off.

Job Done.

Sounds great for whoever's going on the rollers. The rest of us had better wrap up then.

To be honest a very disapointing set up/day by powerstation.

I'm not being funny, The car park and surrounding parking spaces were jamed packed with Jap cars. mostly Scoobs and Evo's. And what pile of **** did they let on the rollers, Fooking Pug 106GTi's, Renualt Cilo Sports and a couple of M3's. I know some evos and scoobs did run but no one was interested in the other cars.

With regards to people queing from 7.30 and taking all of the spaces, poor management there. What was wrong with doing it in 1 hour slots. and you could only apply in the last 15 minutes of the previous hour, this would mean everyone would have a chance to get a slot no matter what time they arrived and would be ready, instead of long times between runs as people had got bored and wondered off or were chatting instead of being ready to run.

Mark tried to get his car on as nothing seemed to be running and was simply told to come back after 3 as there might be time then (nothing was running or anyone queing at the time).

With regards to the expensive and very unhelpful shop upstairs, I for one will be keeping my hard earned in my pocket.
