Just wondered where you've/they've all gone?

Especially with the National and the 700-30th looming large now.

If you're coming to the National - what day? It would be good if all 700s could be there on the same day(s).

Still trying to get my plan together.

Prufrock.

P.S if a certain individual read the content...need I say more?

If that's the best you can contribute don't bother.

This thread was for 700 owners...ONLY.

I didn't say it was good thing! It is merely a fact... what on earth is your problem? So you changed your mind about who the thread was for? perhaps you should re-word your first post to say only "you've" gone, not "they've" gone also.... as that quite clearly means you are looking for input from anyone! Or alternatively put something like "only 700 owners need" at the start.

perhaps I could have worded it better so as not to accidentally offend somebody that is very sensitive about the 700 series

Still hoping to make it. If so, it would be Saturday pm and camping overnight. I'm afraid that if weather looks horrible I am likely to pull out since I will be with my boys and whereas I'd probably be happy to look at Volvos in the rain I suspect it's a bit unfair to expect them to do so.

It's OK to bring children, I assume? They don't need to be members?

Ok for the kids of course, let's all cross our fingers for sun, and lots of it.

Adjustment: If weather all good, could now be arriving either Friday evening or Sat morning, staying till Sunday in either case.
