For those of you who haven't got wind of this already, as part of the R4 documentary I'm making I would really like to bring a camera along and film the goings on at this year's Kent Run. So this week I met up with Derek down at his garage and mentioned that it would be great if the run had a couple of brief pauses where we could overtake you all in our camera car so that we can get into position to film a couple of pass by shots. Afterall, overtaking 15 or so 4s on a country road -although perhaps quite possible, is pushing our luck!
I hope that sounds ameanable to all and Derek has said he and his IT dept (wife) will look for a couple of 'pull ins' on their run recce this weekend.
Also, it would be great if any one who comes along to the run could bring along any interesting R4 related material, such as magazine articles or memorabilia that backs up anecdotes or experiences they might want to tell me about.
I heard the weather has put the dampers on the last couple of years runs, you'll be glad to know that I've got a track record of bringing the sunshine with me whenever I get the camera out, so here's hoping! (but no quoting)
I'd need to couple of days warning so I can paint over some of the rusty bits to make her look as if she's looked after.
The faithful will also need a good breakfast + lots of coffee/sticky bun stops en route. We must conserve precious/historic machinery (like that mongol horde bunch 
) - Mr Reno+ the 'Hennessy mob' can do the dramatic low-flying stuff while we have a coffee/ciggy - sussed. 
Start 11.00 am at the 'Services' on the M2 eastbound carriageway located between junctions 4 and 5 (near Rochester). Finish at Squerryes Court in Westerham (near M25). The route between is an unknown 'mystery' - we follow Derek (Renospeed) but there will be stops. You need the mob. tel. number of someone on the run so you can get route plan/update info and intercept convoy if you miss the kickoff.
