I'm not sure to be honest, if doors open early morning, I assume it would be early, but we can discuss that closer to the time. I'm up in Birmingham on the Saturday too, so I'm not even sure whether I'll be staying at a hotel there, or heading back Saturday night ready for this on Sunday. Will have to have a think.

Will have to have a think. as it is starting at 10am I'd be looking at leaving around 6:30am ish so would be at Strensham Services around 7:45 at the latest?

STEVO9000 54 Report post Posted February 19, 2016 I'd need to leave swansea at 5:30-6 to get there for 10, hence why I fancy staying the night before i hate driving when I'm tired! Will have a look at hotels, shouldn't be too badly priced hopefully Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rob275 1817 Report post Posted February 19, 2016 Stop being pikeys and get a hotel. I plan on doing so Let me know where you book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S18 RSG 429 Report post Posted February 19, 2016 I guess I could just drive up to Cheshire from Birmingham and get a hotel there, rather than staying in Birmingham. Whoever books the hotel first, let me know also, I'll grab a room there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, wouldn't hurt to find out at very least. Only a quick 30 mile blast up the M6. Cheers Mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark-in-Stoke 488 Report post Posted February 19, 2016 Just got of the phone and the rooms should be around the £35 mark (staff discount rates) can only book them until early March as full paying customers take the rooms first (but never usually a problem).

S18 RSG 429 Report post Posted February 19, 2016 Can't imagine there'll be many places cheaper than that. See what everyone else says, but even if nobody else wants to go through with that, I'll probably stay there (less distance for me to drive after 10 hours of meetings on Saturday). 1 Mark-in-Stoke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S18 RSG 429 Report post Posted February 20, 2016 Also more than happy to share a room with someone. Slightly off topic, but following from what Mike brought up, is there anyone who's heading to this event who's changed the final drive on a manual? Be really interested to go out in one.
