+1 this weekend may have to go the same way as Dunsfold ... down the Gary Glitter ! Working backwards from my Tunnel crossing time i get the following :-

Friday 28th May 7:42 crossing, with CSL on trailer .. subject to change as may need the 450 mile trip to Ring to get mileage up a bit on new engine.
Thursday 27th May, hoon around the UK mainland trying to get approx. 3000 miles on hopefully new engine.
Wednesday 26th May as above. Drive 500 miles if poss.
Tuesday 25th May as above.Drive 500 miles if poss.
Monday 24th May, 1200 miles run in service and oil change at Murketts.
Sunday 23rd May go for 400 miles run to get up to 1200 mile run in figure
Saturday 22nd May go for 400 miles run to get up to 1200 mile run in figure, but im attending a fookin Masonic week-end do as well
Friday 21st May go for 400 miles run to get up to 1200 mile run in figure.
Thursday 20th May pick car up from Murketts.
Wednesday 19th May ...today .... just called Murketts, they are still waiting for word back from the Fatherland so there it sits, on the ramp, old engine still in ..... in a word "imfookedforSpa" ...

The reality of it is, that if Murketts got word today to throw a new lump in, it wouldnt be ready until this week-end at earliest, so lets say I pick it up next Monday at best, I would then need to drive up to Scotland and check in with the boys up there , then drive down to Cornwall and have high sixes with that lot down there , then back to Murketts for 1200 mile service soetime Tuesday pm say? so a day behind schedule, carry on clocking moderate driving miles up, on Wednesday to Friday, change tunnel booking to Saturday 6:20 Mantrain solutions !
