I wanted to go up Friday, but camping is not part of the event and I couldn't be bothered with an overpriced camping and caravan park with me probably the only TVR on the whole site.
See you there Jeff, should be a great day

What sort of time were you thinking of arriving. Could motor sarff a bit to join up? Just a thought mind you.

We've arranged to meet Jeff and Linda at a Little Chef just west of Royston (half an hour from Duxford).

Any one else looking to tag onto a convoy into Mania would be welcome to meet us there. Should be there about 10:30.

Kick tyres followed by a blast down the main runway
500+ TVRs booked in

Weather forecast is looking a bit mixed, but it should still be a memorable day.

Jeff, Is the camera a digi or an analogue? If its a digi you should have no problem. If it's analogue, Nacnud and I have found that you can play the tape though a digi camera which can then be transfered to a PC.

There's probably loads of people who have a more cunning method, but this has worked for us in the past.

Cheers Dan

Dan, I know one with an entire post production company at his his disposal - he says you can shoot it on a Kodak Brownie for all I (..oops) care - what format would you like it delivered?
