Go on then, clear off and leave us then Good luck fella - sounds like a great job to move to, so wish you all the best as you & the family settle in. If I ever get down there to marshal the Bathurst, I expect you to be in it Cheers, David

Had to go out and buy a copy if I'm famous I'm more chuffed to see that they used a shot of my bonnet with the Burns sticker beneath the McRae one - still my best memories of a great day with the Kent folk. Most eye catching picture was the full page one slightly earlier - looks like a rear view of Simon from Aylesbury with his specially made jacket.

sorry Iain, Missing this one too due to more marshaling Got you a few bits of bling from the Burns event at Marham last month, will get it to you eventually got some marketing bumph from harvester last week - mainly on about new menu items, but also mentioned that they seem to have dumped the silly "no bookings" policy! Might be worth trying to get positive commitments and get a booking in? "WE'LL SAVE YOU A SEAT We never like to disappoint, and with our restaurant becoming the first choice for all kinds of occasions and celebrations, we are now taking bookings for evenings, all week (subject to availability). Please contact your local Harvester for further information. " I take it that Sturdys have p1ssed someone off, or was it just not suiting folk any more? Cheers, David & Chrissy

Hi Simmo, Another vote for cotswold - mine knows how to get there on it's own after all these years You might want to post up some piccies of yours and mention which dealer you bought from - good chance that someone in SIDC owned it or knew of it before it reached you Enjoy!

PM me your email and I'll send across that photo at Banbury in the bigger format mate

Don't say it's too quiet or we'll get TJ & Edmondo livening it up faster than I can read They can see over the fence into Oxon

Sads news guys - especially as you'd got a pretty decent seeding Hope it's fixed before too long - lets us know the next few appearances after it's sorted.

very sad. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10...sh-Britain.html

Looks like we're in for a wet day - uncomfortable for marshals, but potentially expensive for drivers shunting I'll have the guest tickets with me if there are any last minute takers

and probably a lot less folk waving from the bridges to keep you motivated

Welcome Mike - see you at Sturdy's before too long, but feel free to wander over the borders in any direction, no passport required. Cheers, David & Chrissy (Blue Wagon - you'll understand my forum name when you see me )

Have a good 'un - hope the weather is kind Cheers, David & Chrissy

Hi Dave, I never trust the M25, so probably will leave MK just before 06:00 to arrive for 07:30 - briefing is 08:30 so there is a bit of a margin / breakfast time. Can't remember whether you are Dunny based or further South? Were you after 1 ticket / both tickets, or going to jump to our side of the fence for the day? If you're up for the marshaling, I'll PM you the Chief Marshal contact info so that you can let him know name & address info for his master plan / insurance records. I probably won't get back on here to reply until late Wed - Tour Britannia all day at Mallory & Silverstone. Cheers, David

We're both off to do our marshalling stuff at Brands this weekend - SEMSEC are slipping away from Lydden for the day. Anybody fancy trying their hand at marshaling, just let me know. No experience necessary, just a bit of common sense & a desire to stand in the hot / cold for hours on end Failing that, we each have a guest ticket if a couple of you want to just come along and watch the day. Marshal's sign on is 07:30 Sprint starts at 09:00 Racing at 13:00 - 8 races https://tickets.motorsportvision.co.uk/cale...?ProductID=3604 http://www.semsec.org.uk/ http://www.twmc.org.uk/allcircuit/index.html Cheers, David & Chrissy

Who's this chap with a nice working gearbox then - sure i've seen him somewhere before See you again in the morning

In case any of the out of town folk up at Banbury are going to stray that far, postcode is OX18 3HQ

M40 services are Oxford (J8A) or Cherwell (J10). Cherwell are fiddlier to get on & off - it's also where a few of the overnighters are staying. TWAS - the MK boys are mainly rolling out at 06:30 and heading to Bicester (M40 J9) for an 08:00 convoy - gonna be tough meeting up with peeps once on either site as we'll all be dressed similarly Have a good run guys - see you tomorrow

Felt a bit sorry for them until I checked my renewal. I actually phoned them and they accepted a renewal subscription off me on the 15th - 3 days after that petition was lodged. Methinks it's time to go back to the credit card company & claim my money back off them for undelivered goods?

roll up roll up - get your sat-nav POI here http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120865

I think our local expert Kaz will be in charge of that department http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtop...31&hl=goats

Thought it would be after the main punters paperwork! I think I went onto Grant's list back in early June, so happy to sit back & wait while you poor beggers graft all weekend to make the event happen Cheers, David & Chrissy

Just got my second shirt order delivered ok - now got XL / L / M to try on between us. Might be a spare up for grabs once we've decided Still waiting to hear about marshalling duties - you never know, we might end up convoying with you all after all. Should be one of my Rally chums coming up from Goodwood in time to join at either Peartree / Esso, or maybe just making it to J9 in time to catch you lot. easy to recognise as he's well stickered up and has IJS instead of race number on the door. Cheers, David & Chrissy P.S. I've built a large Sat-Nav POI file for the event - all sorts of meet points / convoy / fuel / accommodation stuff. I punted it off to the gathering team a few days ago & am waiting to see if they post it up or don't want it. Happy to share it with all on request, but would rather it goes out through the top level channels if possible, so hold off until the weekend is over.

freshen up the Sat-Nav with s-camera locations & updated POI files extra batteries for the chatterbox handheld radios that so many will be gossiping on? snacks & cans to see you through both trips breakdown / recovery membership card phrase book to help you fine northern folk to be understood by us deaf / stupid southerners black sack for your rubbish - see Andy your notes do get read Most of all, bring a socking great smile that will last for 48 hours

Think of the options - we are all asked to chip a donation in to the memorial funds - a few do, but most don't bother and a feeble tribute to a great man would hardly be noticed. Alternatively - a few of you folk think of a great idea and then work your socks off to make it happen! I vote for option 2 - don't worry, there will be a few turn up See you at Prodrive - I'll be the one in a scooby Cheers, David P.S. just downloaded by participants pack - that really makes the event become real

wot! a convoy of one? you'll never keep up with the silver flash after that ring session couple of admission tickets up for grabs - just take a few good piccies, as us orange mafia aren't allowed to distract ourselves with phones & cameras on duty Cheers, David & Chrissy
