Perhaps you just need a bit of tappet adjustment Gary! Perhaps you should just press the autopilot button and get the car to bring you along. After all, all these TR7's and 8's know their way to Billing by now!

Hi,
Will be there on the Sunday for sure, got to work Saturday morning [:(] But may take a drive up after for the afternoon / evening. What days are you lads and lasses planning to be there [?]
Good luck Gary and have a speedy recovery, you will have to smuggle a lap top into hospital and keep in touch [;)]
Cheers John

Me and most of mine will be there all weekend - the missus is producing the new personalised regalia. I got my dad all jealous. At first, we weren't going to bring the little ones, so I asked my mum and dad to babysit. It's the weekend of the British GP, and my dad thought we'd got tickets!

I traded there once at a VW show... had to evict the ducks from our plot before we could set up!

Oh my... Looks like my wet suit would be the proper suit to bring for that venue.
I do hope you're just trying to scare us... /Odd

At least you don't have to polish the car, as it is useless under those circumstances [:D]
And to finish of the wetsuit I'd recommend some Wellies ...

Are we sure these pictures weren't from last year. There hasn't been much of the wet stuff here for ages so unless Northampton has been getting a deluge... Looks like the rain that's coming across the country today is going to miss Northampton too. Forecast is dry from tomorrow for the foreseable future too.

At least the jet stream hasn't shifted south this year yet!

I will be able to provide wetsuits for every Man, Woman and Child at Billing unless the fuel shortrages stop!

<font color="green">Dunno what the current state of Billing is but I can assure you there has been plenty of rain in this area. I do know someone who went to an American car show there last weekend so I'll try to find out how wet it was then and let you all know.</font id="green">

I always think a light scattering of rain makes the cars look really good! Thanks for reminding me about the tent Paul!
