I'll probably park in the campsite opposite the main entrance, as usual, lol. I'll keep an eye out for you.

Starting RetroRun at 08:40ish I think.

I will be parking in the RetroRun area which is inside Bridge.

According to the SilverstoneClassic web site TVRCC are present but I don't know if you need a pass for infield parking.

Checked my paperwork last night and we are starting at 08:52 so will be just behind you!
I don't expect to keep up - especially as the missus is navigating confused .

Hi Tim, did you get the clutch cable sorted, looked for you when we came off circuit and you seemed to be busy under bonnet. Someone came chatting to me and when I looked again you were gone and bonnet closed.

Yes thanks - bodged it with a nut and bolt and some stainless wire bought off one of the stalls, got me home OK.

How come you were quite near the back of the group when you went out on the circuit yet you were one of the first back?
