See you all down there!

See ya there Guy! The 'Turdo' (not E30 powered this year) will be stickered up at the weekend...

Post Fri Jun 06, 2008 2:10 pm

I'm ready, transport and back up transport sorted (thanks ziggy), as well as a passport some cash and enough camping gear to make ray mears blush! Can't wait, we set off from Bournemouth 2am Tuesday morning.

Ziggy you never did confirm my guess at the 'turdo'? I'm thinking deffo a volvo most probably the 940.

It'll be nice to meet you guy, its turning into quite an adventure allready. I have so much crap to haul there its unvbelieveable not to mention my trip to newport

Hope it's a touch dryer than last year for you all!

Post Fri Jun 06, 2008 5:19 pm

Probably a spare space in the Turdo... you know you want to!

Post Fri Jun 06, 2008 5:22 pm

I'll pretend i never read that, funds are to be saved for a new turd of my own!

Post Sat Jun 07, 2008 11:10 pm

Weather forecast is looking OK' ish, but from what i've heard from those already there the campsites are a bit wet !! Tunnels under the track were full of water for practice last week !

All hold hands and pray for some sunshine

Should be there in the early Thursday morning.

'Partly cloudy' & 10-20% chance of rain each day? I'd settle for that!

See you there Kevin - have you still got my phone number? I'm sure I've got the list from last year somewhere...!

Post Sun Jun 08, 2008 3:56 pm

The weather does look good, I'm happy its also improving, last night rain was forecast for sunday todayonly 20% of rain! Certainly better than the weather here.

I'm sat here hung over with a pile of camping gear in the corner and I just can't bring myself to pack.

Post Sun Jun 08, 2008 4:28 pm

Spent a large chunk of yesterday cutting & applying vinyl. Not long to go now!

Kedge, do it.

Post Sun Jun 08, 2008 4:50 pm

I spent a large chunk of yesterday with a bottle in my hand, I'm far too old.

About 30 hours until I leave.

Post Sun Jun 08, 2008 5:32 pm

i cant wait to get going either

Post Sun Jun 08, 2008 5:37 pm

Packed yet Adam?

Post Sun Jun 08, 2008 5:45 pm

cars sat in the garage ready mate, spent all day yesterday cleaning it, waxed and polished

Post Sun Jun 08, 2008 5:49 pm

waxed and polished helps with the drag coefficient don't you know? and counts as packed then?

My fat arse will take up more space than my bag, Got everything packed into a space smaller than a golf bag

Do we know if we have passengers yet?

Post Sun Jun 08, 2008 5:57 pm

iv got all my stuff in the car mate, i should no tomorrow if we have, if so split the fuel cost by 4 and more cash for beer and food

Post Sun Jun 08, 2008 6:04 pm

more £ for beer and food is always good.

Post Sun Jun 08, 2008 6:53 pm

Ziggy just got your pm. Just got back from mincing around all weekend in a hardtop convertable.

I am totally burnt. Silly car.

I'll give you a ring as to what I am bringing, what I am not. And when to pack my stuff in your car. Use my yahoo email to send me some pics of the turd!

Its gonna be a good un. Guy your chariot is quality!

Post Sun Jun 08, 2008 10:51 pm

Post Mon Jun 09, 2008 1:52 pm

12 hours to go, 12 hours to go, 12 hours to go, 12 hours to go, 12 hours to go, 12 hours to go, look how excited I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gonna have a few beers now.

Post Mon Jun 09, 2008 3:27 pm

Right had my last couple beers before we leave..

Ziggy looks like I'm ok for a lift now but if anything happens I have your number, you may have to collect us off the hard shoulder on the way. I'll have a beer waiting for you guys.

Post Mon Jun 09, 2008 3:28 pm

30% chance of rain on saturday now, just packed the wet weather gear.

Can't imagine it'll be a problem on Wed, but save us a decent pitch if it looks like we'll need it!

Post Mon Jun 09, 2008 10:39 pm

3 hours 18 minutes till I leave.

Post Mon Jun 09, 2008 11:02 pm

Get some sleep as you'll want it! You'll be too excited once travelling. Maybe catch 30 mins on the boat if you are lucky.

Cya there fella, drive safe.

Post Mon Jun 09, 2008 11:24 pm

I will Jon, I can't sleep so I'm gonna have a bath and try relax, and think what it is I've forgotten.

Post Mon Jun 09, 2008 11:47 pm
