    Default The Wait Is Nearly Over.

    I am off to Belfast tomorrow morning to collect No.700, returning via Rosslare/Fishguard very early on Wednesday morning. It will be a long day, but hopefully an enjoyable one.

    Nice drive back (weather permitting) from Fishguard though. Some nice long straights. Plenty of speed cameras aswell though

    I have done the Rosslair/Fishguard run a number of times as I have done lots of work in Wexford.

    Watch out for the on/off ramps on the ferry. I have grounded a couple of times as the sump is low, and the car is long - A flying jump should clear it

    Good luck, I know what that feeling is like, guess you'll be driving yours before I will mine.

    Take it easy and get back in one piece.

    Regards

    Made it back at 0530 - not the easiest of drives. Another five minutes and I think that I wouldn't have made it. Learn't quite a lot about the 260's handling in blizzard conditions - needed a change of underpants on a couple of occasions!!

    Pretty please Tim, can I become a full member now.
