Hi @Matt - monkeywrench, I should have noticed before, but this is a Fewbie Plus drive, not a Fewbie level. I'm sorry, but you cannot attend, and I will remove your RSVP.

There is a nice series of Fewbie drives organised by @Ale Vallecchi this weekend, with spots available. I'm sure you will enjoy if you want to join them.

Looks like the other Fewbie ones are 3 days which I'd love to do, but can't commit to...

I'll see what's happening next week

Thank you for signing up for the drive tomorrow. Please ensure your car is in good condition, remove unnecessary items from the back seat and trunk area.

I will confirm the convoy order by the end of the afternoon, let me know before that if you changed your plans. Thank you !
