As long as you have some bricks/spare wheels to hold the thing down, go for it. Tony did say we would have a tent of some kind to use as an 'office' for signing on, but it may be best that we are self sufficient just in case. Camping chairs are a must too :thumbs:

Got a different bumper and splitter on today, hopefully have it painted tomorrow ready for saturday. Looking seriously low, hope i don't have to adjust height, maybe have to for Yarmouths speed bumps!

I had better leave it here then. If you remember its a pain without lots of grass to peg it into. Lets hope Mike b brings his nice easy up gazebo?:)

Gates open at 7am both days; track opens at about 9am

A tent won't be hard to weigh down with tool boxes or small people :) I'll sling one in the back just in case we need some storage. One of the tents I have goes up in about two minutes flat.

We did have two shell garages in kings lynn and they both closed earlier this year.:( There are none in this entire area now! Although if you detoured and came up via the A1 to peterborough there is a shell garage on the A47 at guyhirn about 25miles from marham?
Sorry mate thats the best i can think of?

Cheers for that Russ, reckon I'll jsut get tesco or BP and whack a bit of octane booster in, should be ok. Daz will be there so if it blows up I'll balme him :sifone:

Not long now guys...........actually really looking forwards to this now.


Nice one Bud, I looked tonight and I would def not get rims in the back cos of the cross bar on the cage and the boot isn't rim freindly with shick reservoirs, fuels pumps/lines and swirl pots either!

Not sure about the dorifto moniker tho... Saying that, despite failing on Help for Heroes stickers I have got some DC ones so maybe that's all you need to be ken block? :D

Arrival time wise, if I aim for half 8/9 will that work in terms of what you've heard ref traffic hetting in etc? it's a long trip from my looted and riot damaged manor...

No ideas about traffic getting in mate. You will have plenty of seat time whatever happens so if you want to call me after 8am, I can always let you know how it's going. Being a military event/base/operation, I suspect that the entry into the event will be very well organised so traffic should not be too bad at all.

Wheels in the car now and will remain there until you need to skid :)
