Ryan...if you will gallivant off on holiday for a couple of weeks, you get left out of the loop :P Hmm...sorry about that!
Air bed? That takes up 1/4 of the tent by itself. Hmm....if you must! :D

It'd be great to see you, Kris.

cheers

We might have a slight problem with the video. Plugged it in to charge the battery and it wouldn't charge. Changed the battery and it now won't power up at all. Bloody irritating. I guess it'll have to go back to Canon for a repair unless it magically starts working again tomorrow.

Blimey, this has sneaked up on me.

Im out im affraid.
Projected lack of petrol money and big thirsty 740 problems have indeed come to fruition.
Have fun everyone.

No worries on the video, Andy. These things happen! Shame you can't make it Ben, but I do understand. Next year...with a proper car!

Latest news on Crich - aim to be there at 10:30 or so. They're only letting me in at 10, and they're still not completely sure where they're going to put us, etc.

All quite exciting! We've just got to try to cobble the 345 together tonight, now! It's currently sitting on Rupert's drive without a head...eek!

cheers

Its like old times with the 740 before the bkv, or dyno day.

I think there will be an area 'inside' for other models...so feel free to give it a scrub if you feel so motivated!

Quick reminder my people...10am tomorrow is the kick-off time! If anyone needs assistance on either day, contact myself or Rupert.

We're just printing off forms for Sunday so the attendees can vote for their favourite cars.

cheers

Sigh. I won't be travelling up to the meet tomorrow (even though I'm in London ATM). I've had a rough week (won't go into details unless pushed), my flight this evening was late, my back aches and I'm as grumpy as hell. An early start tomorrow to get to the meet on time, a 6 am start to return to Germany on Sunday, and another early start for work on Monday is pushing it unfortunately :(

Passenger seat in a 16V sounds very interesting indeed :D

Chris, I'll take you up on that next year. And then I'll take a few more days off at each end so I can make the Sunday as well and have a few bevvies the night before.

Thanks to Rupert and Foggy for all the work, have a good time everyone, and take loads of pictures!
