It will be a blast whatever the weather!

The plaque is mounted on the car, the origin has been updated, the camera charged.

Will fill up on the way to Thurrock and check my tyre pressures....then we're away!

Simon, what time are you looking at leaving. The reason i ask is that i have been asked to do a talk at a School Friday morning which kinda hampers me leaving early too (bloody fame !!)

So, if you are looking at leaving mid morning, we could have a mini Harlow convoy down there.

I've PMd you my mobile number if you wanted to discuss.

Fantastic weekend, enjoyed everything about it.

Apart from the little glitch on the journey there, (thanks to Ade and Ronnie for stopping and escorting the rest of the way )The car never missed a beat on the event, and it felt like it was all worth it yesterday for the first time.

Thanks to everyone for making Jen feel so welcome she loved her first ESC event, and has requested a pink T-shirt

There will be lots of pics and a few vids to follow, but I havent got the data cable for the camera here.
