So my shirt is here, so you can easily identify me and thus avoid talking to me...  Land Rover is prepped for the monsoon conditions..that have disappeared from the weather forecast.  It should be a bit more comfortable anyway. Door tops may be removed again for the stand. Looking forward to avoiding you all. James |

I was going to get a shirt made up and had started piecing a design together on my phone but found out that I'd left it too late to get printed in time.
I'll be in a oldschool.co.nz nationals shirt.

I always consider it a good day if I've even remembered to put pants on  I have no idea what I'll be driving yet. I'm not sure I trust any of my vehicles on an eight-hour roundtrip. Whatever it is, I can guarantee it'll be wibblepoo |

I’m preparing for Sunday by leaking oil all over a petrol station forecourt and waiting for a lift  |

Better leaking oil than brake fluid... đŸ˜‰
Er, like mine. Saturday afternoon master cylinder swap planned, then arriving at Shelsley on Sunday morning with wife and car-mad 3 year old in tow, and dad following just in case I break down so wife and boy can be ferried back home while I wait for RAC. Again.

Stupid me for buying cheap parts.
Got the front mudguards on, just a few jobs to do and ready for a casual drive up with James.

They must have done something right because they are everywhere. Since having arrived here I've noted that micras are the most common 'old' car I spot. Most seem to be well cherished too. I guess it's easier to look after a little car that looks after you.

Hey just wondering about food (as I always do) and sorting my camping gear out. On the Sunday - are there food carts/bbqs doing sausages etc available to buy food at?
Coffee carts for my fix?

There's always loads of catering with good kerwality food available on Sunday. Saturday evening there should be a chippy at the site near the start line of the hill (I presume its gonna be there this year as it has been for the past years).

Be warned that every year so far the catering vans run out of food in the middle of the day so unless you want to go hungry, eat first and look at stuff later. It's not like you can pop to the local Londis; Shelsley's the exact geographical centre of nowhere
