Great! About 9ish then mate. 

[Clive]

Finished the van about ten minutes ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will still need another coat or two of lacquer in the future, but more than good enough at the moment!!

[Manky Monkey]

You crazy paintist you!
Loony & I have been wondering what theme you've gone with. Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow chap. 

[Clive]

Let's put it this way, the swastikas set it off!!!

[BikerGran]

I'll put a camping stove in my bag and some tea etc - dunno how much I can carry, 2 chairs and a table loaded up already.  Tipping down all evening here and looks like loads more to come so I hope it's better in the morning!

[terry t]

Trikes sick only running on three cylinders use nearly 8 litres fuel on a 10 mile run. i will get more if i put a V8 in it  no. so cant ride it 

so i will be in the van  with the trike behind me   

[NeilG]

Just popped out for a smoke and saw my next door neighbour who's one of the organisers.He said the grounds still solid up there,so should be no worries.
Have'nt really had too much rain here,so hopefully it stays that way.

All loaded up now and even cleaned the cars,don't know why i bothered as i'm sure they won't stay that way!!  

Sorry JJ,we will get bored eventually at taking the mick
Keep on rollin!!!!!

[Manky Monkey]

Forcasters say it's going to get up to 30 degrees & stay that way until June -after tomorrow. Why does it always rain the weekend of this show?!
My truck's in bare metal. Looks like I'm going to spend next week de-rusting it.
Ah well, we're British, so will keep a stiff upper whatsit & soldier on.
See you in the morning guys. 

[spanners]
