Well, my car won't be on the road in time... Completely gutted.
And Sasha's now camping this weekend (got her dates mucked up).

So, I'll still be coming, but as a normal person parking in the public car park. And I'll probably be giving the spare tickets to Dad or someone.

Was so looking forward to driving the Mk1 there...


Anyway, hope to see a few of you there this weekend! (I'll be going Sat & Sun as I'll now use Friday to continue work on the Mk1)
