Not camping. I have the 6 stand passes. Bring a 300, whatever the condition! I don't have any wheels other than blank steelies to put on which is a shame. However, I'll still be blazing around the track :)

Meet at the pub again? Does 10am sound reasonable?

Failing this, I'll just meet you happy campers

Cool, well I'm planning to camp. Do you need to book a camping ticket? I think there was a post earlier in this thread with info...perhaps I should stop being lazy and go read it!

Only slight drama is that #3 spark plug doesn't want to stay in the head (still), so I've got to sort that out on Saturday...either another insert, or another head! Might be there a bit late...

Now not making this due to mechanical catastrophe. I do have 6 stand passes - are they going to get used? If not I need to know so I can cancel the stand. If so I need to know so I can scan them in for someone else to take.

I think I might now come down on the day as I've got too many other things I need to do this weekend. I'll take a stand pass, assuming there aren't six more respectable 300s attending!

I'm still planning to attend (and camp over on the Saturday night), but the 345 needs a head swap before it will make it...so anything unexpected on that front could scupper my plans. If it doesn't make it, I doubt I'll attend in the V70.

Is anyone other than myself and Alex turning up in a 300? If that's it...er...questionable about the stand.

cheers

Hi
Yes I can turn up in my red 340. I was hoping the passes were being handed from the nearby pub in Sparkford? My mobile is 07909987319. All depends on the number of 300s now.

Hello folks.
Well now it's very near the time for this event I've made other plans for sunday. I'm hoping to attend a classic car "park up picnic" on the 19th September on Weston-s-Mare's beach lawns. See http://www.westonrnli.org.uk/index.htm for further details. My car originates from Weston. The dealership where it came from ceased trading in new 300s because Volvo stopped production of this very favourable brand.
All for now.
