I will be there in the support vehicle :cry:

But I will bring my young apprentice for his first visit to a motorsport-ish event :D

Cheers

That's Geoff! But that's how it is in the Smith house, off topic and disturbing. :?

I'm not taking my Elan either, as I'm selling them all to pay for my wedding! :? I was going to bring the Fast Cat but as nige isn't going to be there, I will have to wait tll next year for the grand unveiling. The stupidly expensive and unreliable car is being fixed, so I'm down to 1 car! :( Can't believe it, I will not be parking with the Bollocks this year! :(

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

I'll just want to buy it, my brain will tell me it's mine and that will be it (until I'm arrested). :(

Yes about an hour and a half to two hours.
Meet you at 9am at Langly station?
I don't drive very fast though usually at 60mph if you can cope with that? We could stop off along the way if you like?

I have always enjoyed Castle Combe and it's been the target to aim at for completion of those little projects on the car for the last few years (Mini wheels, R888's, Roll hoops, brake upgrades, Exige seats and harness etc). I'm sorry not to be there this year but hope you all have a good and safe day. All things being equal I'll be there next year with another batch of little projects completed.

The chief seaweed readers at the Beeb predict windy and wet tomorrow. :evil: Looks like the heaviest rain should clear CC by about 11 o'clock but it will still be windy and showery.

Been weighing up the rain versus R888s. Decided to go with the R888s on the basis that they're on scuffed wheels and the Proxies are on brand new wheels. Gravel trap here I come - tyre wall get the f**k out of the way!
