Yeah, too windy for an accurate forecast.

Pack your coats and wellies and dress up warmly... that usually guarantees good weather!

Hoping I get a dry spell tomorrow to do my brakes otherwise I won't be going.

Get Silver to do it he is free this after.......:lol:

Red Baron 11-10-2013 10:49 AM

I'll have my kids so will be playing it by ear, they'll be miserable if it's cold and wet all day, really hope it's going to be dry as it looks like a good day.

Good idea but it's all locked away and there's no one home, hopefully home a bit earlier myself tonight so may do it then, need to service the Passat as well as it's overdue.

Nice and quick after that though. CJ's estimate is spot on I'd say.

Thanks for the detailed timings :) See you at Clackett Lane services ...

Banstead Stig 12-10-2013 02:39 PM

Managed to find half an hour to give the car a quick wash, but it isn't up to my usual standards... no time for polish, etc. Hope it isn't an embarrassment compared to the rest out you tomorrow. :(

By the look of the weather forecast you might have wasted your time,

It is not looking good..:doubledown:

You wouldn't think it a waste if you'd seen it before. ;)

The forecast was for heavy rain here today and the sun has been out all day so far. :)

jay 12-10-2013 05:11 PM

Just to say if I am not there, then I will be at home with my head down the toilet. A planned birthday get together for a friend tonight now sounds like it is going to get messier than first thought.....oh dear! Apologies if I don't get there, but spare a thought for me if this is the case.

Granby 12-10-2013 05:25 PM

Sorry guys but i'm out, forecast is still rain :(

Steve_PPP 12-10-2013 05:58 PM

Come on, its only a bit of water ;)

If it does rain then there's plenty of shelter up there I'm sure - between Brooklands and Mercedes benz world....

Just get up early. :p ;)

Joking aside, looking at the photos you appear to have broken the back of it. Should be good when it's done.

Scott.T 12-10-2013 08:37 PM

I'm out. Due to crap forecast I started decorating my sons room.just stopped and only half done so need to finish tomorrow.
If I'm done by 11and the weathers worth the travel I will shoot up for lunchtime.
I will be up at 8 to give Ian the flags so I may knock of the painting in time to make something of the day.

Bytes 12-10-2013 08:43 PM

Sorry guys, I can't make it either :( Still waiting at my shop, since 2:30 this morning, for the !"£$%% insurance company to send someone round to board it up.

Unbelievable :mad:

SamSTI 12-10-2013 08:49 PM

BIG"E" 12-10-2013 10:57 PM

Sorry I too am out!!!


After a lot of thought !!!!,

Having just watched latest weather forecast


I have decided I can not justify a 144 mile round trip.


All display and track demonstration cars will have exclusive entry via the Brooklands Road entrance

For those that are still going there is 6 places to have a drive up the hill.
CJ is booked in to have a drive on the Mercedes Track,

The event organisers name is Phil Ward.

I hope those of you that attend have a good time !!:nod:

Granby 12-10-2013 11:07 PM

Sod's law isn't it, if it had been today it would of been perfect, bloody British weather is really p***ing me off at the moment :(
