There is a stand for us mate.. When you get to the gates and pay, mention your with the zone and one of the team will be waiting to give us our passed, then you'll be guided in to where we are parked...


On a different note, I spent all day polishing and cleaning the car... Its just starting pishing it down, about 6 foot of water already... :cry:

It has been nice all day... Started spitting a bit with a couple of clouds.. Managed to wash and wash the car, some other zoners came to get car parts, then the heavens openned for a good 30 minutes. Proper hammered it down too. So, give it some special shinny spray in the morning and be on my way. :D

Sunday
A fine and sunny start but showers soon developing, becoming heavy and thundery in places, especially during the late morning and afternoon. Showers slowly dying away during the evening.
