Sounds good. I'm doing my best to keep myself unscheduled at the moment so as to maximise my chances of being able to attend. I'm guessing we don't have a provisional date yet, David?
When we say things like 'should have', 'would have', 'could have', 'must have', 'might have', 'will have', etc, we say it so fast that the 'have' sounds a bit like 'of'. However, if you replace the word 'have' with 'of' in the sentences below, they no longer make sense...
Hi Tom that sounds great driving up in a convoySounds good. I'm doing my best to keep myself unscheduled at the moment so as to maximise my chances of being able to attend. I'm guessing we don't have a provisional date yet, David?

I of lots of tools in my garage.
Of you got any oil for my engine?
We of had a wonderful time on holiday.
I of to fill up my fuel tank, otherwise I won't be able to drive more than 5 miles.
I would of passed my driving test.
I could of talked for hours, but she asked me if I wanted to of sex.
I should of a long walk on a short pier and stop being such a bloody pedant!!
Louis, it would be excellent if you have passed your driving test by the time the spanner meeting comes around. When is your test booked? Will this be your first attempt? Fingers firmly crossed for you.
However, as Murdo says, Glasgow isn't exactly around the corner from yours, and such a long drive for such a new driver isn't to be taken lightly. Do you think you're likely to make the journey with a family member? Admittedly I'm only 2 hours south of Glasgow, but I'd be happy to drive up in convoy if that adds to the fun, community spirit and/or safety. I only live a few miles off the M6.
Cheers,
Tom

Assuming it is schedule for a time when I'm free, I think it'd be good to gather at M6 J34 and do the drive through the wilds of Cumbria and Dumfries in as big an A2 convoy as possible.
And you've now got the ? emoji.
We all know how you feel. Believe it or not, we were all teenagers once upon a time. I remember being 16 years and 364 days old and thinking "I can legally drive tomorrow!!!" The novelty of being able to pilot my own private teleporter has never really worn off.
Ah, so the spanner meeting would have to be at least 6 months from now to make this viable for you. If you're keen to attend David's first spanner meeting, which I imagine will happen in early 2020, perhaps we can arrange some sort of 'Louis Relay', where you get to travel to Scotland as a passenger in as many A2s as possible!

I suspect everyone else is hoping for something a little sooner, but, as I say, I think it'd be a fun project to get you to Glasgow and back as a passenger in as many A2s as possible. As a club, we've got a fairly large appetite for silliness and pointless statistics.
Yes definitely sounds like fun to me budI suspect everyone else is hoping for something a little sooner, but, as I say, I think it'd be a fun project to get you to Glasgow and back as a passenger in as many A2s as possible. As a club, we've got a fairly large appetite for silliness and pointless statistics.
Of course, this would mean you would attend without an A2, but no doubt you'd still have lots of fun. If you're determined to attend with one of your A2s, then perhaps we need to see how many different people we can get to share the driving of one A2 from Leicester to Glasgow!?
Or you could catch the train up to us stay the night and Timmus could collect you from here after you have cleaned our 3 A2's to earn your breakfast!!!!!Yes definitely sounds like fun to me bud
Let’s see what happens first ?
