we are hoping to be there aswell jc but not sure if i will still have me miggy .i have had nothing but trouble with it .new waterpump new thermostat did the cambelt aswell now the head gasket has gone .I have brought  a new motor .we could not rely on the migg so mrs pj said enough is enough .we all have to do what swmbo says? 

Lets face it, I've turned up to Newent in the superior Rover before (due to Mrs TheBoy nicking the MV6 for a girlie weekend).

I do hope to turn up to Newent in the MV6 this year, but only time will tell  :-/.  I certainly aim to turn up in something, even if I have to scrounge a lift!!

very large COUGH. 

You know what, if circumstances dictated I had to drop to running a single car, it would be the Rover, and the Omegas would go

Same here, infact I have done a few times. I love our little 25 Diesel

Hey!!!  apart from the miggy, I've got a MGZS 180 v6 2.5 k series, and its BRILLIANT!!!

Nowt wrong with a good Rover.

(I said a GOOD Rover.)

Tell me more, tis a car I am possibly interested in, rather than another lease car, what is MPG like?

Should be OK for it, last weekend before the kids go back to school, will need to double check

Well, as it turns out it looks like I'm going to be touring Scotland in the Westfield the week following Newent. That makes Newent a handy staging post on the journey. Maybe Alton->Newent Friday night, try to get the serious p*ss up over with on Friday, early night on Saturday, Sunday Newent -> Glasgow to meet up with the nutters from www.se7ens.net then onwards into the highlands.

It's a great plan, with only a couple of flaws:
1) Early night on Saturday...  Hmm.
2) Westfield is currently in too many pieces, but will be fixed by then.
3) Camping setup is going to be a bit minimal with a weeks' luggage as well.

Got to be a winner, though.

1) being the complete flaw in your plan .  Is Mrs KW insured to drive the Westy at least part way to Scotland, whilst you sleep it off (if you drink enough, I bet you could sleep in it)


3) I guess you only need a small 2 man tent and a couple of sleeping bags.  There will, I'm sure, be enough kettles/gas/cookers/knocking around there?

Now, there's a thought.

True, I figure we won't starve with Le BBQ de Dent close by.

You will insist that Mrs LD spends the days leading up to Newent in the kitchen.  She says they keep for 2 weeks or so (not tested that claim myself ), so as long as you keep your gob away from them


There, problem sorted - just don't bring anything with handles on to Newent that Mrs LD can use as a weapon to batter me

I don't know how she's got this 2 weeks figure... I've never known them last that long

As for handles... You're on your own there... I'm not brave enough to get in the way
