I don't think we'll need sun cream, but as long as it's dry :D

All packed and ready to go (I have a day of meetings tomorrow, so won’t have time to do anything). Annoying that the LEC gazebo is just too long to fit an Elan boot - I’d have expected the M100 designers to check that :lol: Fortunately, it can travel in the passenger seat, top-down. Meanwhile, the wallpaper table for parts is behind the seats.

What IS in the boot are the parts for sale / donation, some freshly baked chocolate brownies to go with the Pinky Bottomless Kettle, plus the usual toolkit, shower cap, etc.

Fully fuelled with best Tesco Momentum 99 and looking forward to seeing everybody on Saturday morning. It sure is good to be back :gathering: :gathering: :cheers: :cheers:

I got it into mine OK!

Saturday morning ?? WTF ??? Is no one in Englandshire going to TSD on Friday night ? I will have driven nearly 350 miles so will be desperate to quench my thirst. And I don't mean Dapinky's bottomless kettle :?

Yes but by then my nice clean and polished car will be covered with all the road spray of the previous day :roll: :banghead:
But on a positive note the tent pegs will go in easier and the weather on Saturday will justify Geoff showing his legs off 8)

It’s been drizzling all morning, but brightening up now and not forecast to rain again over the weekend

Car washed, tyre pressures checked - all ready for an early start tomorrow!

Has LEC a designated area to park?

Will be good to finally meet you guys from the forum :-)

Turn into the main paddock entrance, and follow the “main road” as it curves round to the right (I.e. NOT the immediate right turn after entering the paddock). We’ll be on the left hand side by the fence. If you get to the shops, offices, etc, you’ve gone too far!

Drizzling in Malmesbury this morning :(

Roof up and see if I’ve fitted Jamie’s seals properly, or roof down and press on regardless?
