Title: Re:Where is everyone? Post by: Steve Pyro on May 31, 2004, 09:33:43 pm I've spent the day changing the oil and oil cooler pipes, fitting four new tyres, the car's had a new radiator, so the black beast should be roaring to go ;D
Title: Re:Where is everyone? Post by: Stu on May 31, 2004, 09:45:42 pm 8 days for me!!!! 6 days for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Title: Re:Where is everyone? Post by: Lawnmower Man on May 31, 2004, 09:55:48 pm 8 days before I set off. Spent today doing things. I think I've now got everything. But like most years I think it will just be a mad rush on the day of travel. Will everything fit in the Mundaneo? I have a few extras this year like the Genny and the Microwave.
Title: Re:Where is everyone? Post by: carsarecool on May 31, 2004, 10:10:16 pm Bug$er, I can't take anymore waiting......I'm going to drive to lemons on wednesday, sleep in the the car on the Mulsanne straight, have brekky on the N137 cafe and then drive back. :D :D :D :D
Oh God, I never thoght 9 days could feel sooooooooooo long! ??? ??? Byyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :-* Title: Re:Where is everyone? Post by: Perdu on May 31, 2004, 11:20:29 pm I'm getting worried about the extra kit I am taking for the three nights in the campsite, I must be mad. Just a tent and a sleeping bag each did it last time but this time it's more than one night under the stars.
Will I really need two folding armchairs with beer holders and the inflatable "England" armchair? Will I need a petrol can? (I know it shouldn't go on the ferry, but who really worries about that?) A spare tyre? Really, what a worry guts I am. Spanners as well as the fire extinguisher? No surely not. -------------------------------------------------------- No it's OK, it's worrying about the details that's keeping me down to earth..... Bill Now where did I put that map... and the E111 form? :-\ Title: Re:Where is everyone? Post by: Robbo SPS on May 31, 2004, 11:25:44 pm I'm getting worried .....about Spanners as well as the fire extinguisher? No surely not. :-\ If youre acmping next to TMDG you reallt will need a Fire extinguisher. 8 days for to go. And its raining here in the sunny south of blighty. Title: Re:Where is everyone?

Perdu's next to us, so no doubt we'll have to think of some 'suitable' entertainment ;) Title: Re:Where is everyone? Post by: Perdu on June 01, 2004, 12:49:18 am Well Steve, I always like to play at "wot plug lead goos where" on V8's, any chance?
No, not true, I don't even want to see an engine 'til I'm back at work two weeks after the event. I understand there was real entertainment available in the fairground until last year, maybe I'll have to do the bungee armchair instead. I'll see how brave (ratted) I feel after the shampoo event, maybe. Don't think I'll bother with spanners after all, some other bugger will probably have one or two A/F ones wiv 'em! Must have space for beds chairs and tent thingies, oh, bloody hell and the beer !!! ;D ;D ;D Bill Title: Re:Where is everyone?

Post by: Steve Pyro on June 01, 2004, 09:11:53 am True, although I had an oil leak from one of the pipes whilst on the road which threatened to pump the contents of the sump along the road and the old radiator just couldn't handle Rouen traffic jams anymore.
The black beast is off to Rockingham this weekend for a 200 mile (and vast amounts of petrol) road test. Title: Re:Where is everyone?

Don't forget the platinum credit card then Steve (and maybe a spare arm and leg) - at the current rate it will be well over £1 per litre by the time you get there >:( particularly if you use the proper 98 octane stuff. Title: Re:Where is everyone? Post by: Stu on June 02, 2004, 03:39:30 pm If youre acmping next to TMDG you reallt will need a Fire extinguisher.
