I'd love to be driving the Pop there, but just ain't gonna happen -yet. Next year though!
Still got doors to fit & bodywork to sort & a windscreen to buy, cut down & fit. Then it needs an MOT. Then I have to pay for the insurance, (no idea how much that'll cost), then trailer it up to my local DVLA office in London for a paperwork check. Then pay for the road tax & any fees they might add on top. Then wait for the logbook & a letter to show to the numberplate manufacturer.
Then we can drive it. And probably break down on our first trip out. Cos that's what customs do.
So no, it's unlikely to be there I'm afraid -unless anyone has a car trailer & a decent sized motor to tow it with that they ain't using that weekend.
I have to work on Saturdays, so I go for the day on the Sunday. Loony should be there & so will Doc, (Twisted Patience). Tony, (CunningPlan), will be both racing & marshalling, (hardest working man on the track), & big brother Steve, (Brock), & Lesley, (Mrs Brock), will be there. They're the annoyingly organised ones with the big white race transporter truck. Just go up to their pitch in the pits & say You are Brock, I claim my free cup of coffee. I'm sure they'll be happy to see you.
Gina & Scottie will be racing too I believe in Tiki Munkey. Who else? Erm, I happen to know Blue, the scary Back Street Heroes lady will be a member of someone's crew for the day, but I'm not saying who's. Lots of people to chat with.
If you can make it, the campsite will be full of hotrods & 50s style bobbers & I'm told the bar's the place to be on Saturday night.
The pits are open for everyone to wander around & there's some awsome machinery there. I don't really follow the racing, I just love the noise & the spectacle of it all. Trade stands, food, free grand stand seating, the chance to get up close & personal to some of the coolest, (& fastest), cars in the country -have I sold it to you yet?
See you there matey.
