OK I have added you onto the 'interested' list. I need full details to get you on the confirmed list - this goes for everyone.

There are presently 5 cars confirmed and a further 20 on the interested list. Please confirm early if you can.

A lunch venue is now booked - MacDonalds..................only joking. We have a nice place with a Michelin star.

Deano, have you a cut off for confirmation I cannot confirm yet but would hate to miss this one on our own door step ?

madbrummie · Post by **madbrummie** » Tue 15 Jan, 2008 22:19

hey, i'm up this way for a charity run on the sunday, where is the end point and what time do you think we'll be done?

LOL apologies for the questions! I know from experience of difficult people when you're organising runs!!!

Mark...

We'd love to join you for this as previous Yorkshire croozes have a great reputation....

....but sadly can't do that date.

Hope it's brill....

Cheers.

No plans for a cut off just yet. I have lunch booked to suit 20 to 40 people. They can probably accommodate more. I dont want a mad rush at the end but im sure a few late comers wil be fine.

The end point is at Boroughbridge (or maybe Wetherby) late afternnon. You are on the list now as confirmed.

Cheers Alfie im sure it going to be great, weather permitting. Will see you next time.

cheers! Gotta be in Skippy sat night but its not far from the end point so that won't be a problem!

Looking forward to it

PaulW · Post by **PaulW** » Sun 20 Jan, 2008 14:36

Its in the diary I am hoping to make it along. Will bve coming up from Surrey so if the weather is a disaster i may well cancel, but i'm sure i won't neeed to.

Winky · Post by **Winky** » Wed 23 Jan, 2008 16:18

Well up for the cruise, but not many Z4's we've noticed!

Also, ours is just a bog standard 3.0i. Should I slap some go fasters on the side to avoid being shunned by fellow cruisers?

madbrummie · Post by **madbrummie** » Wed 23 Jan, 2008 16:31

hehehe, i shouldn't worry Winky...... i'm 800cc down on you so you won't be the slowest Z4 in the village!

SpunkyM · Post by **SpunkyM** » Thu 24 Jan, 2008 13:44

Guys, don't be worried that you won't be able to keep up if you are short of a few cc's. From experience it really isn't a big issue on the mixed roads of the cruise. You might fall back a little on the long uphill straights but it soon bunches up again. Deano will have it all in hand I'm sure

madbrummie · Post by **madbrummie** » Thu 24 Jan, 2008 18:28

Joking aside i have enough experience of these things in other cars to know what the respect is like to keep everyone together on things like this.

looking forward to it.

Winky · Post by **Winky** » Thu 24 Jan, 2008 18:52

Thought so, but it's a relief to hear!

I'll be letting Mrs Winky take over the wheel after the pub stop anyway, so that should boost up the average speed

Let's hope the weathers kind ey?

Anyone else coming down from Scotland?

Justin Time · Post by **Justin Time** » Fri 01 Feb, 2008 14:49

I'm interested in this, but will have to confirm later down the line

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Fri 01 Feb, 2008 15:33

OK thanks I have updated the list.

So far we have 16 cars (30 people) confirmed. 15 cars are unconfirmed.

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Sun 03 Feb, 2008 21:00

UPDATE:

I have had to change the lunch venue since option 1 was unbelievably expensive. The resturant we are going to is limited to 50 people.

We presently have 30 people confirmed in 16 cars.

Please send your confirmations by PM if you want to be included. If numbers get as high as 50 people I will have to limit entry at that.

I will send the menu out nearer the time and need your choices before the event on Wednesday 12th March latest. 2-course lunch is £13 per head.

Cheers,
Mark

whiteminks · Post by **whiteminks** » Sat 08 Mar, 2008 12:44

Hi All,

I can't wait for this!

Mark, you have done a brilliant job trying to contact everyone whilst the site has been down!

See you next Saturday!

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Sat 08 Mar, 2008 13:38

E mail has been sent out to all on the confirmed list.

Please send me your menu choices by Monday 10th latest so I can finalise the booking with the resturant.

A few have still to respond.

Note we will be travelling in two groups, at least 16 cars are coming.

Please bring tomtom if you have it with the itinery installed.

Thanks to Tim for his efforts getting the site up and running

Cheers,
Mark

Mark, if you need a volunteer for the second wing, pick Spokey

Seriously, I can step in if you want to hand pick suitable candidates for a 'ground attack' squadron

Need to go for the mucky topaz version, mines an every day mobile so looks like no chance for a spit and polish. Weathers not looking to great but so what looking forward to it, should be fun regardless.

Looking forward to meeting up with many familiar faces for my first cruize of 2008.

Did not have a chance to wash my zed either and as we are driving up north tonight already as well, i am sure it will be truly dirty by the time we get there...

Have a safe journey up and see you all on Saturday morning!

big cheesy · Post by **big cheesy** » Fri 14 Mar, 2008 12:57

It's been quite a bright dry day here so far in sunny Manchester

, hopefully it will be like this tomorrow over yorkshire way!

whiteminks · Post by **whiteminks** » Fri 14 Mar, 2008 14:22

Weather has been sunny here in Lincolnshire all day too so fingers crossed for tomorrow

Zed Carer · Post by **Zed Carer** » Fri 14 Mar, 2008 17:04

Just a quick line to wish everyone all the best for tomorrow, hope that you all have a great day enjoying the Yorkshire roads and the scenery if you get chance to take your eyes off the road.

I'll look out for those heading north on the A1 in the morning - I will be the silver Z4 going south!!!!!!!!! I only live 5 mins away from Ferrybridge but have to go to Cambridge - still I get a day with the Zed.

madbrummie · Post by **madbrummie** » Fri 14 Mar, 2008 18:28

car is cleanish here but we'll see tomorrow after i've done the 100 miles to the start!!!

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Fri 14 Mar, 2008 18:55

Cleaned and polished mine today and I have the organisers privilege of an 8 mile run to the start.

BBC weather are now saying cloudy and some rain in the afternoon, not too bad.

Cant wait!

stu · Post by **stu** » Fri 14 Mar, 2008 19:49

Yeah, got the car back with a brand spanking new MOT, got the tax sorted on line (I have the e-mail, DVLA recepit and invoice to prove I'm legal) and have brand new rear brakes, so I should be able to stop on a sixpence (a word of warning for whoever is behind me

)

Can't wait for the morning now.
