I know this one, because the minute I stopped eating, it stopped raining. Still the barbeque works well under a golf umbrella.we really do need a dry year

Squally and showers first half of the week, I'm surprised your cow shed didn't blow away. ;)

Squally? That's a bit of an understatement.

Weds was awful last year.
I drove 400 miles to LM and reckon that it rained for 399 miles of the journey.
Brief respite on arriving, then rain again, so we retired in to Werner's pavilion & drank beer.
Not all bad 8)

LOL - a good move in the circumstances!
It must be my naturally sunny disposition that means I dont remember driving down in the rain, tho it seems I must have done! (either that or short term memory problems....)

Got one, but as I found out last yaer on the way up to Santa Pod...
.....It's great while you're moving... :-)
Still, driving down the N138 in an open top British sports car (Albeit a rubber bumper model) does have it's attractions...

Option C
with option B as fallback
simples
;D
Tonneau is fine for all the other times
anyway you will all have a hot dry year with mild balmy breezes
(I do wish I was coming... BUT NO, I have to be strong...)

This is true...
Soft top it is then...
And Perdu, if you find that strength slipping away, there's a spare seat in the Midget ;D ;D ;D

Ah if only 'twere so easy
I decided to miss a year for lots of reasons, not just fiscal ones
All these years and the old dear hasn't murmured about me swanning off, but I had an attack of "Oh blimey it isnt fair-itis" and offered to her that I'd miss this one and go again next year
I already have offers from Toby Anscombe and MGMark to occupy the co-pilot seat if situations change, so thanks but...
Dont fret Andy, Lara will be on hand next year if she is needed
I'll be happy if you guys have a good un :)
(honest... :( )

My wife keeps telling me that we can't afford it.
I've readied the cupboard under the stairs with a padlock - which is where she'll be living for the week I'm in La Sarthe. Nobody will hear her complaining from under there.

To be fair, and just to make sure no-one jumps to any conclusions [no don't be daft Bill this is CA not Pistonheads] she has told me several times to get along and go, but it's just not on this year.
Other big spends are taking over instead (got a gearbox to rebuild and engine refurb and new camshaft and new metal needed on the rear bodyshell, paint etc.......)
So much as I will miss you guys we'll always have last year.
And next year ;D
