Right Meeting Place

Can anyone confirm the full address of hotel we are meeting at in the morning? I have just phoned to get post code but the guy on the phone did not seem to know where he was and I need to put the meeting place in the sat nav as I don't know where I am going.
Thanks
Guys
See you tomorrow I hope. Michael

Guys, Thanks for coming and i hope you all had a great time.
I certainly did.. (and am really starting to regret selling my RRS..!!)

Total damage for today, as far as i know.. Martin broke a Sport when jumping it off the tilting bridge, and i clipped a full fat RRS as we descended a very steep muddy hill when i caught the side barrier!!! oops!!

Guess the invoice will be in the post?

Factory visit was very educational, and really was an eye opener.. we got to see beggining to end process of preparations for the RRS, Disco 3 mainly but saw the whole build process. Pics in my gallery.. too tired now to post am sure i will get a chance in the coming days, but im sure others will beat me to it! Unfortunately no sneak shots of inside factory...
No incidents with the exit/entry gate staff either which is always a bonus.

Tour guides were excellent and really helpful and the offroading instruction was brilliant. Got to drive the whole range of cars apart from the freelander off road. Also.. I WASN'T late!! well not that much anyway.. was cool doing a 16 car convoy on the way to the factory as well as the 7 car convoy to the pub afterwards! although i had to lead in our grey dull saab! but saying that, i had a bentley continental GT off the lights in the Saab Tdi!! not because it was on a space saver or anything, just because our saab is sooo fast, ask MDP!!?

Great to meet you guys, hopefully meet again soon, despite my lack of RRS.. hopefully will have my RS4 soon to show you all!

Well Done Kam

Hi Kam

Well done on sorting yesterday I know we all had a great time, sorry I could not make the pub but had a call and had to head off.

I think we all got some good shots of the line up and I am sure when you find speed is not everything it is the journey that counts you will sell your RS4 and come back to the RRS.

Thanks Again Michael

Thanks for organising this Kam. I thought the factory tour was amazing. Our small group spent some time at the metal press and got to see them change the dies and start pressing again. Interesting to see the Mini panels too - as we've got one on order. Matt
