[stevie_a]

Just seen a good tip for the national

[John_C]

Only eight days to go until what looks to be the best national weekend the TRDC have ever put on. I will have a couple of copies of Steve Jackson's 'TR7: The Bullet That Backfired On British Leyland' with me so please shout if you do not have a copy of this excellent book yet - only £16.95 thanks to no postal fee from the Isle of Man. We hope to get up early on the Saturday and looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible over the weekend. And I can't wait to see the new museum too which is included in the entry price... plus the BL/BMC day on the Sunday. This is going to be MASSIVE!

A lot of work by Rex Halford, Brian RJ and Roy Hankins which should not be overlooked .... as well as Simon who does the National orgainsing every year for the TRDC.

A note to all attending the National,
Have a safe and trouble free trip and try and bring some sunshine with you....

[stevie_a]

Sunshine will be there Gaz, not the normal 100% but it will be there.

I am leaving home about 8:00am ish should be passing you about about 11:00 / 11:30 ish

It's a shorter drive for me this year, only 340miles ish

I'll be setting off around 9:30 pm from Blackpool, got a fair bit of setting up to do in the marquee.
Before the riff raff arrive
I'll have a cold one for ya matey

[stevie_a]

Am i being a bit to optimistic ?
As i am standing ironing two pairs of 3/4 trousers for all the hot weather we are going to get down there

[gaz]

You've booked the weather Stevie,
So sound s good to me.

[REPLIC8]

3/4 trousers, I thought you Scots were tough! I'll be in shorts whatever the weather. ( apologies in advance for my milk bottle white legs )

[John_C]

Remember that only full length trousers are permitted for access to the museum.

There, that should smarten a few of you up even if I just made it up!

Weather forecast on the Beeb just now looks pretty good for the weekend. Just filled up and pumped the tyres up, hope it makes the 135 miles in the morning (and the journey back).
