Me too Ken!  Right, it's official. Our Sunday convoy is to The Museum of Power, Langford - click here for more information on this venueSat nav shows a 39 minute journey which involves a little A12 action but we can navigate around that if anyone wants... We aim to leave Essex DAFs Central at 11am Sunday morning and return for Central by 4pm for the post convoy refreshments. Entry is £4.50 with £4.00 concessions and under 15s free. Hopefully this will prove better value than last years SNB.  |

Well done..... Perfect tour location. I just checked the link. Right up my alley. Noticed on the 2nd of September there is a Yank Tank show as well but we will be on the continent by then.  I've started my "countdown" already. I am so looking forward to seeing old friends again (and some new faces as well) 47 DAYS & COUNTINGJohn |

Well, so what are we going to do on the Saturday? I am happy to provide BBQ goodies, if folk want to contribute to that side of things that would be meatastic.
I will try and get some large bottles of water too as there is a problem with the physical supply of the clear stuff at EDC now, so just to be aware. Evening meal and a pint at the local on the Saturdayas a 'wind down' perhaps?
Will there be car specific action going on? If so, could I book some tuning time for VUF pretty please ;o)
Lets do what we can to make this Spectacular really live up to the tag!!
Vince, you love to meet my steam engine owning mate. He has a Aveling & Porter Steam Roller and a Foden Steam Waggon. Lovely stuff.

;D ;D ;D Well Ken, based on last year's event people turn up throughout the day (although some will be here already!  and we'll do food around lunchtime-ish when we think everyone is near or likely to be, sort of. The BBQ sounds like a good idea (note to self, remember umbrella) and last year I bough a couple packs of Iceland's BBQ bags. £5 a pop and loads in them. With some breaded buns, sauces and salad job's a good'un. I might be able to manage a cake too. That leaves some fizzy pop, beer and the ever precious water. It's not global warming you know, it's shut off at the mains...but a little dribble does come through! ;D The caravan can be topped up via George's...I hope. Evening meal? Last two years we've all belted down to TOCI for food and beer in DAF taxis which was a real hoot! Oh, and car tinkering? Hell, yes!!! ;D |

DAF tinkering ? NO DOUBT !!!
I have my coveralls packed already.
Worse case senario Ken...If we can't get VUF running properly there are enough people there to pick her up and toss her over the fence. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Mum just got the date through for her joint replacement surgery and its a week and a bit before the spectacular. Whether or not I can come now really does depend on how well she recovers. There seems to be something getting in the way of every single event ive tried to get to this year |

That sucks Paul. Wish Lindsey the best for a speedy recovery. Hey Pete, Who will be handling the annual mowing of the fields now that Matt is being sentenced to five weeks of hard labor. John |
