Brian Friday morning or later afternoon is good for me. Will be over with Kevd at some point early afternoon. All the stuff is at mine in the shed.

Dazza - if you want to pick the tent up just give me a shout. It's pretty big though. i had to fold the seats down in the fiesta to fit it in.

I've retired from BBQ on tour duties

Karen & i will be taking a picnic with us

Are there stalls there to buy tea & coffee from ? ( without walking to far & queuing for an hour ) Or is it best to take a flask or i may even pop the stove in for a fresh brew @ ESC base camp

A chocolate bar (picnic) might not be enough
Will pop a few sandwiches in then unless someone can confirm there is a place for a healthy () burger & chips

I'm sure that the usual franchise wagons will be there, plus a few extra hopefully.

PM me your mobile Brian & I'll try to let you know what it's like during Sunday - if the queues are awful, then you might just get enough warning to stock up from the services en route?

Just a little reminder that the A2 Dover bound shortly before the circuit is a favourite mobile camera spot - the excitement of arriving better not prove too overwhelming.

Cheers, David

Is the little green hut still there? Can't beat the home made bread pudding they used to sell.

My Mob - 07828164669.

Thanks for the heads up on the camera too.

Default Any one else?

After a 12 year absence from our shores, The European Rallycross Championship is back, and the opening round is at Lydden Hill in Kent. This is not to be missed by any motorsport enthusiast, as it involves the fastest, closest racing I know. 650bhp is the norm. Marcus Gronholm and Henning Solberg are rumoured to be competing amongst some others tbc.

And to top it all, I found out today that, the guest commentator will be........


Murray Walker.


So who's up for watching some real motorsport?

1. The GreenWagon Mob.
2. Scooby Blue WRX / Arkwright
3. WRXDaron
4. Supercue & MadOli
5. TomR555
6. Mark B4
7. Tiny & Karen
8. Milamber
9. Kev"Clean Wheels" D & Paula
10. Pinseeker
11. Mr & Mrs Evo So Slow...apparantly
12. SteveRattue
12a. Dazza
14. Mark B4



Meet at Thurrock services @ 7:00am,



Leaving @ 7:15am Sharp.

What's the betting that, if you do, she'll break something of yours in return?

Lets hope Mr Wippy is there as it sounds like there could be an abundance of 'crushed nuts!'
