I'll be at the Travellodge just off Jnc 20 M1 for 8am as I'm infiltrating the TTOC lot

If any Skoda's wish to join for that time they're welcome

Keep phoning them up as they should be able to access the list of people on the clubstand easily. They obviously have the attendees on a spreadsheet as I got it emailed to me.

I don't have access to this list anymore now, unless autometrix either send me another email with the names.

What light rain as opposed to heavy rain.

Looks like Speedos and wellies for me.

Looks like your Pikey Gazeebo could be popular.

No I think it will be the Speedos and wellies that will draw the crowds.

Look for a load of SEAT's and a Black Octy (with stripes

) in the Service Area and I'll keep an eye out for you

OK yer look out for me not that you will miss me in a fabia vrs se lol

devonutopia · 19-06-2008, 12:43

Yup - weather is not looking great at all. Sounds like my full slicks could be a waste of time and I probably won't run any 1/4 miles at all if it's damp....

chrisw_vrs · 19-06-2008, 13:13

OH no i hope it stays dry

Jonno VRs · 19-06-2008, 13:41

Hopefully they won't have us parking on the grass for the show stands this year!

I'll be there for between 10 - 11am on the Saturday.

How many have we got for the stand on Saturday?

devonutopia · 19-06-2008, 14:39

I had an email from autometrix with a contingency plan in case of torrential rain, which basically involved everyone waiting in the carpark whilst the grass was assessed.

However, they said the ground was rock hard so even a fair amount of rain is unlikely to reproduce the "bog" conditions of the saturday last year (which was not helped by heavy rain in the weeks leading up to the show)

I'm more worried about the 1/4 mile strip as it's probably the main reason I am going - Will suit the 4wd cars fine though....

Also a bit worried about Awesome's BBQ unless they can get that under cover.

youngsyd · 19-06-2008, 16:56

I will have a mooch round the cars then, look out for someone wearing a Horton Skoda fleese (Weather dependant!), or a CRT Skoda Team Shirt!

Ummmmmmmmm

I now have a 'Briskoda Banner' after collecting it today.

Zero · 19-06-2008, 20:08

Lets look on the bright side, it may rain but it's gonna be 20C at the same time.

So we can just wear speedo's and wellies as suggested.........or is that just a fantasy coming out?

Jonno VRs · 19-06-2008, 20:25

So they're planning on having the car shows on the grass again then when there's about 3 square miles of runway!

The fact that the ground is hard won't make much of a difference since the water won't drain as quick.

A16NS V · 19-06-2008, 22:40

Getting a burger from the food vans was a little dirty last year IIRC.

i hope they move them.....I can stand a dirty car but don't mess with my food.

mluton · 20-06-2008, 08:30

Weather outlook has changed, there is now a sun next to the rainy cloud, not just a rainy cloud.
