I'm starting to doubt whether it's worth bringing the good car to BTaP - other events, for sure, but BTaP isn't about the cars, and no-one really looks at them anyway!

Sensible car - £30 in fuel, or fun car - £80. That's a fair few pints!!

It depends on if you can fit all you need in the boot of the fun car. If you can take the fun car as its always nice to have a look round the car park in the morning.

Has to be the fun car ....in the early days of BT&P, the convoy there and the car park used to be a big part of the week-end, however that has reduced considerably in recent years!! It is supposed to be a car forum at the end of the day!!

Here here Tony!

James - if I don't have a new toy by then and you do make it for the Saturday run out, can I blag a ride in your pax seat please?

Current plan is to come with a +1, so it depends on that (and their tolerance to my driving!) ...worst case, we can take the car out for a play anyway. smile Shotgun's yours, that aside.

Now, I've just got to remove all memories of how horrifically the night went last time I thought it'd be a good idea to bring someone to BTaP. 5 years on, I'm still traumatised. headache

+1

(and no, not a 357!)

That thing at the back looks entirely sensible and practical!
