YES!! I am, and cant wait.

Also, my mate Jes is taking his 4.2 Cerb. Jes is the current TVR sprint champion and, other than a pro driver, one of the quickest people i've ever had the (dubious) honour of having a lap with.

I'm a bit of a beginner myself but having been round Snetterton with Jes i know it will be a great track for a Tuscan!

See you there?..................

I'll remember to keep out of his way, then.

If your going there from Bucks then you could join me and Jes in a little convoy??

We are both located just outside High Wycombe.

's a bossipility. I'm booked into the Pump Court b&b Sunday night. Are you going up the night before (I didn't fancy messing with the M25/M11 on a Monday moring!

Which way 'just outside High Wycombe'? I'm in Hazlemere (kinda near Magnolia Dene)

Wow!! I'm amazed we haven't clocked each other. I live in Tylers Green, down towards Kingswood. Jes is my next door neighbour but one.

Our plan at the moment is to go well early Monday morning, but i havent ruled out a night away Sunday night. I will give Pump Court a ring and see what availability they have.

Well I'm at the other end of the woods - gated road down the bottom of the next road towards Wycombe from Magnolia Dene. Do you get the tts on trials bikes too?

We can drive back in convoy at least

Our roads could have the same name. A saint and baptist.

I never saw that place. I'm staying at Strenneth B&B, about 5 miles away.

No, I'm down off the bottom end of De Havilland Drive.

Why all the secrecy?

Ah - will be good to see Jes again. However, at least him not being in the Wedge means I don't have to the less committed wedge driver on the day ;-)

No problem here. Some people are pretty anal about their home address and the amount of people reading the fact that they are going to be away for a night. I've been told off before. The walls have ears, all that sort of stuff....

In typical Jes fashion his cerb is currently in bits, last seen in Coventry (TVR Power) and possibly heading for either TopCats or the V8 centre. He promises that it will all be alright, indeed he has a sprint on the 23rd April. We live in hope....

I'll be heading up to Snetterton on Monday morning too, from Chorleywood. Not sure being in convoy with Jes is a great idea though as I have fond memories of a certain red wedge squealling round many a corner, though obviously they were all on a variety of tracks around the country. Forgive me in advance for a slight lack of commitment on the track but the diff is in need of a little attention and not the kind of attention it sometimes gets from some of those red and white kerbs!
From past experience the M25 bit of the journey is no real problem on a Monday morning as we'll be heading away from it, and London, before it gets too busy.
