what day you going down on? im going on friday and could swap over to your car on way if you want. i wont be going until after my work though so probably wouldnt be at yours until back of 6.....another spanner if you were planning on going early on friday.

would far rather take your cabby than the mazda. :D

Craig, some people are attending Callander Fri, Sat & Sun (was always an option). I have you down for Sat & Sun. The Fri crowd have their passes, I gave Grant one extra, so if you want to go Fri too you can but you'll have to contact Grant directly to arrange it and you'll have to be quick 'cause he's heading there at lunchtime!
