And a bucket.

Perhaps also a mop.

Just to point out to anyone reading I have yet to fill the southern pole on a photoshoot with an owner's car though I thank the slightly startled landlord of the rural Hertfordshire pub that provided the welcome respite so there was no need for bleach and certainly not sandblasting.
However, I cannot say the same for Ads on Test Cars, but alas that tale is being saved for my memoirs/when someone donates too much single malt.

I'll be there but in the 8c spider this year. I am down for the track and probably have a spare seat. If anyone fancies sitting in let me know (need a helmet unfortunately).

Can I take you up on that offer Mike?

I've just been advised that I haven't made the cut for the parade lap. :(

I just got confirmation for Phil that I didn't make to the pared lap this time, he will make sure I am already booked for the Supercar event on the 28th July... Do we as a club attend this event?

Alignments? Tracking gets fixed tomorrow.

No it doesn't have a stripe. Don't know whether to do something before it gets painted or after.

OK, missed apostrophe. Alignment is, or, alignment's.

Anyway, depends when you get it painted. If post-LM, I suggest something brash and orange to tide you over. If pre-LM, wait and get the stripe done after. Dub will see you straight either way. I'll be back there tomorrow. Shall I warn them you're on your way..?

What time will you be there as I'm heading to the 'rents tomorrow after I get my tracking done.
I assume you are getting a train and taxi there? Can give you a lift if need be?

Ooh, you lovely man. 'twil be in the morning. 11ish or so. Trains are all up the spout / rail replacement for the weekend so I'd planned on getting a cab from Shenfield. I'll send you a text, see if we can work something out. Ta. :smile:

I am on the parade lap too. Apparently, after talking to the organiser, they are going classic this year.

Got some free tickets too.....oh the perks of the job!

Is anyone coming for a few 'afters' at my house in Surrey (that sounds wrong for a Manc). Plenty of parking/floorspace for crashing (sleeping, no driving!) .

Just need to work out numbers for food. You bring own beers. ..

You will be directed where to park when you get inside. Expect a long q outside of you arrive after 10.
