I've mentioned it to other half and he wants to go see SS Great Britain too if we are in Bristol. Anyone been?
I'm not decided on whether to register or not yet ... is that Shell Garage mentioned as a meeting place ok for coming from the North?
Is there a deadline or maximum number for registering?

Hi all. Just joined the forum. I've registered to take my b along to the Bristol event so see you all there! Sounds like there'll be more of us there this year.
Hi and welcome Richkeoghuk 
I see you are in Bedford like me I am in Biggleswade just down the road.

Hi Richkeoghuk and welcome to the forum - where have you been!!!
Looks like you are local to Doc OP if you are in Bedford, at this point its customary for you to give us a little lowdown on your b, colour, age, mods etc and a piccie always goes down well!!
What time are you planning on getting to Bristol, I am at jct 9 of the M4 so could tie up on the way there if you are passing..............
Hi,
I'm afraid the b doesn't get quite as much use as I'd like. Weekends only as I'm a fiat white van man weekdays!
Mine's a black b with a red roof (although the roof's rarely up). She's in the garage at present having some paintwork done as she was visciously attacked by a gritter lorry.
Hopefully though she'll be looking good in time for the Bristol run.

Neither does Doc's, only out when its not raining!!! How many miles last year Doc????
Well I went to the Barchetta meeting up North so that racked up 1000 in a long weekend but since then only another 400 or so.
It's ready to drive all the time but I need two or three dry days before she comes out.

Lets hope for a good summer - just watched 5th gear and my son recognised the Ace Cafe, he can't wait for the school holidays this summer so that he can come along!!!!
Virginia Waters again this year? What about a run from there through Hants into Sussex to finish at Goodwood circuit one Saturday early summer for a cuppa tea??
My b is a metallic black 1999 Riviera.
No mods apart from a red mohair roof and replacement exhaust both from DTR sports.
Here's a pic! if I've figured out how to attach it that is!
I'm actually travelling down to Bristol on Friday and staying in a B&B in Clifton.

Really love the '99 Riviera's, I was buying one but was let down by the seller - there is one for sale on the Autotrader at the moment, bit overpriced though..........
Look forward to seeing you there!!

Hi Richard, welcome to the forum. I remember seeing your name on the Yahoo board.
Weren't you behind the barchetta owners club? Does it still exist?
As you can see, things are pretty lively over here (thanks mainly to LRB!) and there are some very knowledgeable people. I've tried a couple of times to drag people from the Yahoo board over here but there seems to be a bit of resistance!

This one sounds good and not too far from me. Thats 3 I've got lined up now as I'm just about to book the day off to make it a long weekend for the Bristol event.
