warwicks a lovely fella - I used to race against him in HGTCC and he (very much like j Rhodes) was an interesting, approachable guy.

I have not had a mini for many a year but any objections to me bringing along my Landcrab to this event?

[Pete]

No objections at all, we'll try and have a section for classic parking if there's room!?

[Longbridge 1]

Looking forward to it.

Pete - I take it it's OK to 'crash' under our club stand (event shelter) on the Saturday night rather than occupy two spots? Niall.

[Pete]

No problem Niall.

[Pete]

Gerry Marshall's son Gregor will also be popping by.

[Pete]

It would seem we have a PA to play with, do we have any soflty spoken posh types amongst us to make announcements ? if not then you'll have to put up with my Gladys Pugh impressions! We've also been approached by a TV/film company, more on that IF anything develops. (see what I did there ? )

Quiet on here this week, you're all obviously underneath Minis !!

Keep checking the INFORMATION thread for updates.

Hi Di Hi campers, ................. Testing Testing ......... 1 , 2 , 3 .

It might be of interest to the people going on track where the closest petrol is ?

[Pete]

As spelled out on the 'Useful Information' post (c'mon keep up! ) nearest fuel is 4 miles away at Gainsborough where there's a Tesco and a Morrisons. (no V Power then!). We should have hired our own tanker ! Definately worth investing in a jerry can I'd say folks, especially as this is only the 1st Action Day ! Surprising how much fuel you'll go through clogging it round Blyton , especially if you brim the tank(s) !

[mk1]

Or if your squashed tank only holds about 4 gallons!

Sprint, sprint.

who have you got lined up for the pit lane interviews Pete?? No GP on that weekend so Suzy Perry must be at a loose end..

[mk1]

Vroom, Vroom!

[Pete]

Suzy Perry must be at a loose end..

I wish! I've asked Ruth Maddoc ,she'll be cheaper and she's probably got her own xylophone.

Gordon Spice has sent his apologies, I did invite him but he can't make it , which is sad as he was looking forward to seeing Barry Hawkins again. Quite funny talking to him about my Unipower, he does remember it and Mabbs, though when he saw Mabbs didn't speak to him as he felt he was way out of his league. Just shows you how well respected he was as a driver.

Anyway, back to Blyton, we should all be receiving our final instructions from Javelin shortly.

[Tim Harber]

Had a reply from Will Dick (Previous owner of KDK320F and former employee of John Rhodes) that he will be attending . Ta da!

He's unfortunately down in the Baggott book as Wally Dick....

He may be looking after Alfas these days but is building a Min

[Pete]

So with Alec, Whizzo and Willy that's three drivers who've piloted KDK plus the car! I've also invited Gillibrand.

Stuart Turner sends his apologies, he's at an MG doo on the same day in Skipton!

[mk1coopers]

Going to be fun having some proper racing drivers there, I think I'll sit behind a few of them (not for long as they dissapear into the distance) and see how its really done
