Rob has said he is likely to be coming along, definitely to passenger and maybe to share drive. We shall see.

Banter?? I'm too sheepish to start giving it the biggun.
It's minus 4 outside
I'm 87 miles from the track
The Golf is running OK but I still have no heater
I haven't driven the circuit in seventeen years!!
Gulp!
The weather down that way has been much calmer. They had a lot of snow last thursday/friday but it rained friday night and was all gone from then on. On tuesday daytime when it was -5 here it was +3 down there. So get your shorts out fella`s its probably going to seem positivly tropical at brands in comparison!:rofl:
Stu, Seventeen years!:eek:

I can't wait, keeping fingers crossed for the weather!!

I don't have a heater either or a fan of any shape or form!! a cloth to wipe the windcreen and thermals for me I think!!

I've got a part stripped interior and a bucket seat that is held in by two bolts so far! The car also has a flat battery (which is currently charging) but I haven't started it since I started the strip which included thinning out the wiring loom :eek:

Jury's out at the minute.
The M25 was closed this afternoon, and several hours later, the cars are still stuck on there. In all seriousness, with how things have been on there recently, you need to take blankets, drinks and some food. If the road goes static, there is nowhere to go.

Not snow bud, current policy on there is anything other than cars clipping wing mirrors mean the road gets shut. If any serious debris or vehicles are left in the carriageway, that's it game over, traffic stopped.
Today there was a prang around 3pm, and at 9pm it was still gridlocked on the M11 and M25 near us.

Looking at this, it's clear now....
