He\'d better be, Clive\'s got bringing a spare set of brake pads and a set of asbestos gloves, just in case my rears expire :)

Yes, he\'ll be there, spitting flames at us all ;)

He\'s hoping to arrive at the hotel in time to join us for a meal on Tuesday night.

OK, better think about what I need to take with me tomorrow. Haven\'t bothered to clean the car as the forecast is for rain on the journey up!

Hmmm... this will be interesting.

I just cancelled my old car insurance and haven\'t taken out the new one yet - so I can\'t drive the car on the road. I\'m taking up REIS on their offer but the agent wasn\'t there when I called back at 5pm :(

:eek: Hope you get it sorted without too much hassle this morning Ian. REIS did want quite a lot of info from me (photos of car, NCD proof, "Car Limits" certificate, etc, etc), but were quite efficient in issuing a covernote, followed by a full certificate. They were very demanding/precise in wanting a full set of information, but very smooth changeover overall to REIS from Aviva.

Paul\'s still got his mountain bike available :Giggle

See you at the RV point................. hopefully :)

I\'ll be checking back in here until about noon, then I\'m on my way :wave

Cheers Shaun, hopefully tesco will be open early!
 
Looks like we might get away with a dry morning and light rain in the afternoon although the forecasts vary a bit

Ahhh, Aston - so you\'re the one who\'s jinxed the day then :Giggle
Maybe the R888 "slicks" may not be the rubberwear of choice...... see you later:)

Neil, that\'s the concensus of the forecasts I\'ve seen, but I\'ve never seen so much rapid changing of the forecasts as we\'ve had over the past few days. I live in hope, as heavy rain was forecast for last Sunday in my location. Turned out to be a warm and humid day, no rain until gone 7pm in the evening. We went out for a open air show with all our wet weather gear and ended up in T-shirts all day. Forecast was TOTALLY wrong from only the evening before.

We\'re not staying over though so will be going through there about 7 tomorrow morning, looks like its 24hours though so should be fine.

Yeah echo that Shaun. What a great day. Car was good, weather was good company was well alright ish!
Good to see everyone. New faces and old.

Oh and Shaun Yes you need to work on your car to keep pace with my FC!
I don\'t need to upgrade my stock turbo to beat your ass!

Get your finger out, get it on the road and start driving it then!!! (B.Martin 25/2/12)

shaunwil

True, but I got twice the amount of tracktime before the rubber went off. Need more work on the suspension, brake bias (and pads), tyres and driver skill level.

Neil\'s car does show the way. It was so much more flat and controllable. The way it went through the corners was amazing !

Yeah It sure does. Im sure yours can be sorted very easilly. A few little tweeks and it\'ll be dialed in. It can\'t feel any worse than my FC even now though!
think Im still on a bit of addrenalin rush. Whens the next one again!
