Sorry been busy trying to sort the car out, now confirmed its my front wheel bearing rumbling so I'll be taking it easy as I can't get a replacment in time.
So I was thinking 7.30am at Watford Gap chaps as that means I'll be leaving at 6am alreadyLet me know if that's good with oyu both?
Sounds ok by me, but if people want to make it earlier(say 7 or 7.15) then thanks also fine by me.
What time you serving up breakfast then Jon. 5am?
Hiro is also coming with us, meeting at Watford Gap
Are you gonna be squadron leader again then Woody? 
Cat burgers at 6.30.Sounds ok by me, but if people want to make it earlier(say 7 or 7.15) then thanks also fine by me.

Ah nice one, Wally enjoys a good burger
Does anyone have a club stand pass? I think Hiro is struggling to get one.
Mikee, do you have a spare club stand pass still?

Works ok for me.
Although if you do feel we should set off a bit earlier I think I'll be able to cope with it Now where's the librium, valium & mogadon gone? 
Nice one, sounds like me, Jon, Hiro and Jake leaving Watford Gap by 7.30am
I'm happy to lead the way, done it enough times now
I'm not too worried Richie, its just under an hour and I don't see them refusing entry based on prior experience. They're queuing to get people into the show late for a long time as it is at Silverstone certainly and people do move on site, they just want cars in place for the show before public entry.

Fair point. They do seem to be rather flexible in reality. I’ve spent too many years going to Tatton Park, where they are total fascists about arrival times. Another reason why I can’t be faffed with that one anymore!Nice one, sounds like me, Jon, Hiro and Jake leaving Watford Gap by 7.30am

Already here dudes!
Sat outside my tent enjoying a nice cool cider & looking at all the nodded monstrosities.
Mines the only zed in the field and the oldest car by a country mile. Voice hoarse from answering all the questions from people hence the cider.
Looking forward to my lie in tomorrow morning when the rest of you are up at stupid o'clock! See you tomorrow.

Great day - funny weather mind. Really good to meet up with everyone. Seeing Chris's 280ZXT was a real treat for me, gorgeous time warp condition. Moggy's race beastie is just awesome in the tin, the pictures don't do justice to all the fantastic little details he's put into it.
Only took a few pic's

Well done guys. Any in-car track videos?
Moggy your car is so much a 'Hot Wheels' contender!

I didn’t get any track video despite having a GoPro and Harry LapTimer on my iPhone. Harry’s laptimer kept trying to overlay the video from my GoPro and it wasn’t compatible so I the couldn’t start it manually and the iphones video didn’t start because it was trying to use the GoPro instead.
Bloody technology.
My track session was crap anyway. First lap it started raining heavy just as I went out then dry at the old hairpin and rain again on the main straight. Had 3 laps of rain on and off and supper slippery in places then someone in the gravel so session ended.
