We'll see you all Friday evening but won't be there and sitting down for dinner by 7.30.
I'll catch you in the bar later that night.

Anybody going from the Fairmile gang who might have some space to take a pair of front struts and torsion bars for hot66

Will be well wrapped individually for transportation.
thanks, Mike

No driving on the Sunday then?

I really struggled to keep the mileage so it will fit within each day! There is so much more of Wales I wanted to include. I don't think the average speeds will be quite as high as when we were in Scotland so even at 250 a day we will be driving most of the time.

but after all, that's what it is about!

...polishing is banned by the way

...

Unless you get a free moment from the driving of course

I just hope the Bumblebee is up to it.

Having it's valve clerances done today and investigation into this strange noise it's developed.

I think a bit of a rebuild is not far off the horizon, I'm just not sure quite how far!

I've just cancelled my room so that someone else can grab it.

If things look better later in the week, I'd guess there's a chance I could find a bed at the other hotel. Would still love to make it, but TBH it's still all looking a bit tight

.

The lady on the desk was very helpful, and I was sure she was saying 'Good Boy' to me. Nice, I thought, until I realised she was saying 'Goodbye'

. Now where's me syringe .....

That's what I told him. How he can declare something as 'tight' Monday morning when he still has well over 100 hours to go I don't know
