Just got my confirmation through so all set now!
Dan, do I need to chip in for the garage?
Cheers
Stu
ps You buying R888s isn't fair.

Hmm.......not liking the look of the current weather forecast for the end of the week - let's hope it improves before Friday..

Weather report looking better at the moment for tomorrow, I'm assuming were all still coming.

Yep, I should know by now not to take too much notice of 5-day forecasts.....!
My pal with the trailer is bringing his own car along, so I'm driving the 7 there, let's hope nothing important falls off on the way.
Same pal was at Silverstone as a marshall a week or two ago, reckoned parts of the circuit looked like the M25 under construction at the time,
presumably they've got it all sorted. Should mean there'll be a nice new surface on the new bits, I'm sure we'll rub the shine
off it....
Do you know your garage number Dan? Just might make it easier to find you when we arrive....

Breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the weather forecast this morning, after the soaking I got at Abingdon!
My prop is soted now so should have no nasty knocking noises this time.
I'm driving as well, so like Geoff hoping nothing falls off on the way!

I'm driving up, it's only 40 miles. Cheffy is bringing the kit up for me.
The Garage has my name above it, don't know the number, Daniel Poyser is what your looking for.

I like to enjoy every last minute in the pit, so will be leaving Windsor by 06.30 to arrive by 8.00. If it all goes horribly wrong I'll go for
the later (0930) sign on and briefing...

Many thanks to everyone who turned up today, was an enjoyable if slippery day
I managed 6 miles home before my clutch cable snapped!!!!! then the AA stung me £100 to upgrade my account to get me home.
I'll post some vids up as soon as I can.

Evening Chaps,
Nice to meet up with everyone today. Great to put faces to names on the site.
Well I had an excellent day. But then I was just there as a passenger scrabbing rides! Massive thanks to James/Hicost, Whitestu and of course Daniel
the Manual/Scutter for the rides (for myself, the missus and my mate Rich!) around the new Silverstone.
GeoffT - did you get back okay?
We (I was following Dan back in case his engine cut out again) got about 6 miles from Silverstone before his clutch cable snapped. Ended up getting
his car taken home on the back of a breakdown truck!
Anyway, Anita and I hope to be there in our own cars before too long. (All right Dan I can hear you from here - stop laughing - I will get them
finished eventually!)
Cheers and thanks again,
Martin/Cheffy
Edited to say: Was writing this as Scutter posted message above!

Bad luck Dan! I got back with no problems other than that the fast lane of the M1 in the rain isn't much fun!
It was nice to put some faces to names! I'll post some videos over the weekend.
cheers

GeoffT - did you get back okay?
....yes thanks, driven at a more sympathetic pace the 'oily' problem seemed to pretty much disappear, but I've obviously got some
issue that need sorting before the next track outing. Spending half the day mopping up puddles of the slippery black stuff was starting to become a
bit tiresome.....! The underside of the car had a good wash on the way home though....
Good to meet up with you all today, bad luck for Dan, must have worked out an expensive day for you.
Maybe get some more in later this year?
ATB, Geoff.
