Feel free to take Otis around in a truck mate, that'll leave me some peace to eat the Yorkie.

Is there a website link for the event?

Some friends are interested in reading about the charity event and possibly attending.

He drives a Gobstopper replica.

That'll be me then!

Thanks for the invite Chris, I'll see you at the Shell station.

I've emailed the editor today, hoping that he'll agree to doing a little feature, so I'll keep you all posted.

Oh, and I'll put up a post introducing myself in the newbies area

The website link doesn't appear to work so I've copied the email that the organisers sent me with all the info and attractions. I'll find out if there's a new website .

Like I said, there is a bed waiting for you on Thurday evening mate. Kids would love to see you and I have a little present for you.

I promise to only have 8 beers in the fridge... we could give your car a clean to ensure we don't get pissed.

The website for Bruntingthorpe has gone down and they are trying to fix it at present,has everyone who needs a pass via e-mail got one,but remember we will have more than enough passes for everyone when we meet up at the shell station on Sunday morning so don't panic,you only need a pass sent if you are going directly to Bruntingthorpe.
Weather looks ok at present,fingers crossed.

There is a chance my Spec D will not be ready in time. API have it for a service and the b****y AST coil overs have been sent off to another well known Subaru specialist (who for now will remain nameless) who have not turned them round in the promised time......

Bang a new set on Robin,we need you there.

OMG I want a lap with Firehawk too....

your welcome bud

makes a change to waking up your neighbours up LOL

Indeed, my neighbours are so learners... they love the noise of a Scooby but they haven't realised just yet.

Chris, as discussed last weekend, please dont forget that I wont be driving on Sunday due to the many issues I am experiencing with the car at the moment.

Weather looks good "fingers crossed" sunny intervals and 68degrees.

OK I'll go and see if there is £1000 hiding down the back of the sofa lol

As of this evening car still isn't ready so I am afraid I don't think we are going to be able to make it. Outside our control I am afraid
