Just looking cloudy and overcast at the moment, high pressure coming in. Fingers crossed.

I'm picking my car up in the morning, then going to spend a little while seeing how she is going. Then decide if I am heading up or not. Fingers crossed.

I know! It'd be perfect, but the house is the priority. Hopefully I can get it done quickly in the morning and then make it for lunch time. We'll see.

We're up for it. If weather good be bringing both starlet and the gtr, Ian will be seeing if he can better his last time in the starlet. I have some colleagues from work who are planning to come along. I've said i'd meet them at Exeter Services at 9am.

Anyone else want to meet at the services first? Will aim to leave services by 9.15am

Just a heads up from a local... if you approach through the village of Smeatharpe watch out for the camera van parked in the village hall, it catches you just after you've entered the 30 limit. He's been there quite a bit recently.

I'm going to pull out of this I think. Got a bit much on and having not properly tested the car to check all OK, don't fancy kicking it's ass down a quarter mile just yet.

It's been broken a lot biggrin

If I wasn't that busy, I might have popped up just to watch tomorrow, but no point really.

I now have a full Audi Q7 detail booked in for Sunday, so my weekend just halved in length biggrin

Didn't realise - it must of been you in the blue truck.

Did the drizzle ease off at all ? I left about 14.30 - I did 11 runs, so was happy to call it a day as nothing had broken

No it was wet for the rest of the day. Couldn't get any grip at all. Your Evo was doing well Giles, is it standard?
