Hi, just been speaking to Graypaul Nottingham, would you guys be interested in a meet here in the next few weeks? Maybe an open workshop, geometry check, possibly build in a run out and view of the lovely showroom, service bays and cars etc... Sean Bates (service manager ) is a top guy and is happy to host whatever you'd like .... (within reason!!)

Let me know your feedback, dates etc....

Hi Andrea, I'll get a list on the go this evening and suggest some dates. So we're talking a Saturday over say the next month? 2 months? Did Graypaul have any preferred dates? Cheers, Miles.

As for the bitey thing, I suspect there's a few that are rather hoping that you do! :)

Miles - nope they do as they are told - like most good men... (flexible, realise that there is a lot going on, lets maximise the best availability - so you can all get together)

Thanks Andrea, I'll suggest some dates this evening. As for doing as we're told, that's the trick, we wear you down until you think you're suggesting something that we were actually going to do all along. It's a subliminal skill that all men are born with.

Andrew that's great - generally these are morning events and given a Saturday, the wives (or husbands) may have other plans... but let's see

This is my local dealer - I'm known there!!.
Saturday may not be good - some of us do other things at weekends such as watching **** football. Weekdays are better for us non-working types. Can't commit yet until I know the proposed date.

I'd be up for that dates permitting.

Hopefully more enjoyable than my last visit when the car was up on one of their ramps for 2 hours!

So, as requested by Andrea...

Proposed Graypaul Nottingham Open Day.

Web site here.. http://www.dealer.ferrari.com/graypaul/nottingham/
Directions here.. http://www.dealer.ferrari.com/graypaul/nottingham/location-openingtimes.php

The showroom will be open for us to look around.

With Graypauls agreement the day could also include..

Open workshop?
Geometry check?
Underbody check on lifts?
Bacon Butties?

We could organize a run out? There's a nice run from the showroom over towards Grantham on predominantly quiet B-roads.

Graypaul will no doubt want a couple of weeks notice, and these things tend to happen on Saturdays (gather from 10 am?), so if you're interested please add your name to the list below (copy and paste) and put a smilie against the dates below that you could make..

Emtee (Miles)

Saturday 2nd October - :biggrin:
Saturday 9th October - :biggrin:
Saturday 16th October -
Saturday 23th October -
Saturday 30th October - :biggrin:
Saturday 6th November -:biggrin:

Once we have a reasonable number (and I suspect a dozen or more will persuade Graypaul to chuck a bit of cash at it), and have an idea of which date(s) suite best, Andrea has said she will contact Graypaul to finalize the arrangements.

Apologies if you've already expressed an interest, but if you can add your name again here we can shepherd the whole thing through.

Emtee.

Cheers Adam, these things tend to be AM but with a run (you're welcome to jump in mine by the way), it'll carry on into the afternoon I think, but it's all up for negotiation.
