I rang the local DPD agent that collected the box on Tuesday and was told it was collected at DPD Birmingham at 7.25 this morning
...why it's gone down there is a mystery

hmm
this is going to be quite tight now
i have work commitments in Kent and have to travel Sunday evening for Monday morning start and will not return until Friday 22nd
if the cars arrive early enough tomorrow , all should be fine
the track etc is ready to go , i just have to re-attach glazing to my Vectra
if not i will have to run round 2 next weekend ( 23rd , 24th )
we can only wait and see
fingers crossed

Hi Kev,
I think if the cars don’t arrive today, and there not sufficient time for you on the weekend then we should think about moving the cars onto South Manchester and finding another date for your Round.

lets see how things go Graham
i would rather complete this round and not disrupt the logistics further
i will have until early evening on Sunday if the cars arrive tomorrow
will keep you all informed asap as to whether it is feasible
