Bring an umbrella peeps, its persisting it down over here... I live 5 miles from Billing and its not looking good for the weekend, if its a wet one I might put the hardtop on her...

Really sorry guys, I've just got up to get ready for the 2 he drive and it's Lashing down and the wind is howling! Now I'm not afraid of a bit of rain, wind or a 2 hr drive.....but doing it in a car that I have just put back together, that I wasn't sure how water tight it is or that the heater works well emough to keep the screen clear makes a recipe for disaster on something that should have bee fun.
With that unfortunately I'm going to have to withdraw and see you on the next one

Gutted mate, was looking forward to seeing your car after following it for all these years!

I hear you though, its a proper duvet day today and I am looking out the window thinking "its only 5 miles away" and I cant bring myself to leave yet, proper gutted...

Was gutted I couldnt make it this year, but now looking at the weather im glad im going to be sat in a nice warm plane for the next 14 hours.......... ok maybe not..

I don't think you'll be alone sadly Bry.

Such a shame for Cal after all the hard work and effort he's put in to getting this show ready, but the British weather is so unpredictable and will always play a massive part of attendance figures.
I got up at 6:30 ready to go, but power has been off for the most of it and only came back on 10 minutes ago. It's bad enough up here and we've not got the worst of it.

Martc · 10-08-14, 07:40 AM

Unfortunately I won't be making it today either, really disappointed as I was looking forward to it.

1781cc · 10-08-14, 07:45 AM

Well, I'm the first one here, setup next to the audi-sport stand who have been kind enough to offer any of us who brave it free burgers for the day!

I hope I don't turn out to be the only one here

Johno · 10-08-14, 07:48 AM

I afraid I'm on the don't want to get wet band wagon as well. Spent all week polishing to get it mingling 2 hrs on the motorway, gutted!
See you all next time.

Dave and Sally are down there in their white B4 80 sport as they've been camping over.

This isn't British weather- it was sent over from the colonies.
