I'll spend an hour or so swearing at shit camping equipment in an effort to protect ourselves from the severe July climate. 

Once that's done I'll attempt to make myself a cup of tea, only to discover I've forgotten to pack the milk. 

A few hours later, I'll have sufficiently exhausted myself enough to sit in a folding chair, staring into space while I consume a delicious tin of warm, cheap lager. 

Sounds like your lad is going to have a cracking weekend! 🤣

...and the weekend after I am at Brownhills near Brum with yet another different car.

Give me a shout, if you have time - that's less than 5 miles from Chaseracer Towers.

Is anyone coming from sarf landan direction that fancies brings a teeny tiny motorcycle in the back of their car to SF for me?

Pretty please

Excellent news 💪

Does anyone need gas for your camping stove?  A friend of mine got a little worried during COVID and stockpiled 56 canisters 😳

I've just agreed to swap it for 3 hours work so we've got plenty to use and please take some home because I don't want to blow up my shed!

Ill take a couple if its the usual aerosol can type

[cms206]

I have done zero preparations.

All that stands between me and Shitefest is half a trip on the 409, a rounder on the 17, a rounder on the 83 and a rounder on the 59.

Hoping for a quiet shift...

Is there running water on site to make tea?

[Ghosty]

Shopping done, which consists of a ham sandwich assembly kit, 0% beer, snacks, Gun Gum, and petrol.

Setting off around lunchtime.

[HillmanImp]

I've just tried doing some last minute 'repairs'. So obviously I've totally broken it. 😄

Have fun everyone.........wish I was there

I should still make it but for fuck sake, why didn't I just leave it alone.

Will pop down to Moss tomorrow and get some mutha fuckin' bitch ass hose as the one on the throttle opening sensor is split.

Sorry...... I did see this, but we're in the E46 coupe so it won't fit I don't think. 

We can drop by the seller and try it - but can't promise it'll go. 

PM me the address and I'll see what we can do.

PM'd him - but as it's the coupe it'll end up on its side - so will need draining of oil etc... 

See how it goes. 

On another note - anyone live near RichK who's attending? I have a full set of brand new Boxster arms he may want if I can get them over to him. I'll throw them in the car, just in case. 

 

[twosmoke300]

If it can get to SF I’ll have a go at getting it running on sat eve 😂

I seem to remember talk of a kitchenette or something like that. 

My forecasting app says there won't be any falling from the sky, which is nice.

Yes, sink with hot + cold water next to the shower.

Getting ready

[KruJoe]

For anyone pondering whether to go or not, don't overthink it, just do it. You won't regret it.  

Safe journey everyone.  

[beko1987]

Have a great weekend everyone, I'm gutted to not be going! 

Will see how many shiter looking cars I see on the M4 as I drive to Cardiff for a mates stag do in a bit. I'm terrified... 😂

[davidfowler2000]

Prep

Expected convoy with @juular from Cairn Lodge and @cms206 from Lymm

[horriblemercedes]

I'm in Guildford tonight and tomorrow and can't change that. If things go well tomorrow, I'll be there for the evening

[Ghosty]

If anyone has any 3/4 heater hose, I could do with some to make the Golf’s heater work (unless it’s airlocked). Will pay in beer money/random Haynes manuals and brochures. 
Local factors couldn’t help!
