I won't be finished with the Ginetta by then, but I would LOVE to meet up at Spa in June!

In fact, I'm looking for someone who would be willing to stop by Biggelswade, Beds right off the M1 on their way to Spa...

There is a Locost frame being given to me by a Roadster Builders forum member. I'm hoping to find someone willing to pick it up for me and bring it to Spa. It's just a frame, so it is pretty light. Somewhat bulky, but light. :lol:

Good if we could meet at Spa I am excited already and have been trying to learn the track before I arrive. :D ;)

I would like to help out with the collection of the frame but I am driving the Ultima out and so have no where to put it. If my brother comes two helmets will be a challenge :?

Thanks for the replies. Stuart Pearson (the guy I bought the Ginetta from) is going to Spa... Hmm... :|

I don't know if I will be able to make it in June afterall... That weekend is my 25 year anniversary! :shock:

She is at times supportive,... usually tolerant,... But she ain't THAT into this stuff! :lol:

Rob get Stuart to say hello :D

As for getting approval may I suggest, as a military man, you tell your boss that you are going on a dessert warfare course before deployment. The course is being held in Belgium in the middle of June. :D :D I am sure Neil and I can get some Belgian fancies for you to prove you have been on the course. The plan is a good one 8-) :D provided Neil does not eat the cakes. :lol: :lol:

I've used that excuse with great success and I left the Army years ago :D :?

All is good. I had the weekend wrong anyway. You are just there on a Thursday..? I thought maybe you were there Thursday for testing for a race that weekend. Is this just for fun!?!? :shock: :lol:

Work will probably not be an issue. It's getting the "Kitchen Pass" that I need to do some work on. ;)
