Thanks Kevin, you're doing a sound job

Thanks Andy , M40 only come to me today when I was driving on it.
As you can to from Banbury. I will pick up the reley from M25/M40 and take it up to Banbury.

so just have Leatherhead to M25/M40 to cover now.

please remember they can be more then one car for each part of the reley . so please add your name.

Happy Birthday Rover 75: Owners Club stage 10th Anniversary Round Britain Relay

In 1999 the Rover 75 was launched to an expectant UK car buying public, eager to see the car that Rover described as “the car we had to make”.

10 Years on, the marquee has all but disappeared, however, a growing number of enthusiasts assembled under the banner of the Rover 75 & ZT Owners Club®, are determined to ensure that this formidable modern classic is preserved and promoted for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.

Members of the Owners Club are staging a Round Britain Relay to commemorate and celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Rover 75. The event, which will cover over 2000 miles in 48 hours will start from the former Rover factory at Cowley, at 6.00 pm on 19th June and traverse the UK in 11 stages, finishing at the former MG Rover Group Ltd Longbridge plant, the home of the Rover 75 and MG ZT until the company closed in April 2005

The stages are split in to sections and participating drivers will use the Owners Club mascot “Fred the Ted” as the relay’s “Baton”. Progress will be monitored in real-time using GPRS/GPS technology and be visible on the Owners Club web site.

“Our aims are to promote the 75 & ZT Owners Club, raise awareness of two great British cars and have a lot of fun doing it”, says Andrew Garcarz, the Event Organiser.

Hi Kevin

Please see earlier post in this thread. I was under the assumption that we were going up the M40 now, and that I and Wooleysox were taking over from Banbury to Birmingham
