Not sure that I like the idea of a charity fund raiser giving away free admission, but the J-K & A fan club need to know about this thread - http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120376

Never mind how Terri is Ian, you must be starving by now - fridge nearly empty!

We're marshalling - probably start line, so will be looking out for you Wondered about getting some sort of SIDC badge onto my kit. Suspect that the small stickers won't cling to the cloth all day, and the 14" monster would not flex if it went on the back of my waterproofs. Cheers, David & Chrissy

Hmmmm, Garage changed my battery at the last service and when it got delivered back (by their accountant, 'cos he lives closest) he said that he'd driven back on sidelights to give it a charge. At the time I ignored it and assumed that accountants don't know as much as the guys who get their hands dirty, but now you've got me wondering?

so cruel

As the locals, shouldn't we be setting an example and turning up when the organisers are asking us to, rather than bucking the system? The logistics are going to be manic enough without folk trying to make their own rules up. Early arrivals are bound to wind up the local traffic police - maybe they'll push you back onto the motorway and send you on a loop back down to the next / previous junction to keep you out of the way? Cheers, David

Just seen the latest info - confirmed that this event will be under inspection as a potential inclusion in the European for next year :- "The event will be observed by inspectors from motor sport's World governing body the FIA and, if it is judged to be up to standard will pave the way for Lydden to host a round of the 2009 European Rallycross Championship."

Good of Steve to share his in car stuff when it included a cook up. some very good later clips been added this afternoon too.

Daaarn Saaaf here they do regularly sweep the loose stuff up - probably to use it again and save money. Seems poor practice to not roll it in and not sweep it up. Will they listen to you locals more, or would you get better response if it was an off-islander "tourist customer" - sure somebody up your way could try that angle for you if it helps put pressure on?

Poor sod - didn't do it kicking your butt too hard did she? ask her to hop into the kitchen to make you a sandwich and she'll end up doing the other one! Give her our best wishes for a full recovery, let us know how much weight you lose on this enforced diet - better get out for another curry night Cheers, David & Chrissy

Are the fine folk of Kent descending on Lydden this Bank Holiday? Hopefully the weather will be just a bit better than at Easter, and it is only a one day event this time. At our last visit a few weeks ago, the marshal's mound on the inside of Chessons has been bulldozed flat - rumours of a tyre wall instead, but marshalling will be from the tarmac at the top of the bank. Cheers, David & Chrissy

More info about registering details for stickers that are passed on or moved - lifted from replies in the Kent section today :- http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtop...0&start=140 and Given all the police negotiation that the guys have done on this project, lets make sure we don't let them down by not bothering to notify. Also suggest that with all of the ANPR vehicles that will be out & about escorting the convoy, you avoid using non-standard number plates however pretty / posy they look. Shame to miss the event whilst they stack you up in a layby processing paperwork for ages

We're both down on Grant's list as marshal dudes for the Sunday, so will be there way before the convoys. Probably going direct to Warwick, rather than via Banbury. See you there, but only if you've got that sticker on and clear to see Also a reminder to all the folk who have spare stickers to pass on to others - the Gathering Team need to be given the same full details of each vehicle as we had to supply when we bought them - reg / model / colour / driver name / contact mobile is what i can remember? Cheers, David & Chrissy

Doing well chaps! I see you're on the list for RAF Marham in September too - see you at the startline Cheers, David & Chrissy

Yeah We still need you fella So get along to what you can Cheers, David & Chrissy

Blimey! Cheers for the fun Craigy, enjoy your retirement. See you at some meets, but it's not all about shows is it? Anywhere that a bunch of scoobs get together soon turns into a meet - like last weekend marshaling at Cornbury Park with Ben & Ian S :- Ian - welcome back mate, be good to see how that rocket of yours has come on in the past few months. Stu - good to have you on board, need to find you a bit of tarmac closer than Curborough now then? Cheers, David & Chrissy

errrm - 21withanevo?

Deffo the lads at Cotswold, just above Witney. They've always looked after mine and you'll get enough SIDC discount on a service there to pay for a year's membership of SIDC. I think it's a fiver off labour per hour and 10% on the bits. Take a look at http://www.cotswoldssubaru.co.uk/contact.html and give Drew a call - tell him I sent you & he'll be extra nice You can book a while you wait, or even swap it for a Yaris for about 15 quid a day. Alternatively, they can usually collect & return the car from your home or work - a real willing to help crowd. Reminds me - need to book in for my 70k in a few weeks. Cheers, David

If something was detected on your machine, it would be very helpful to say what virus it actually was, and what software specifically detected & cleaned it.

Almost everything - they've even got good old Murray Walker back on the microphone http://www.silverstoneclassic.com/about/timetable.asp

Hi folk, Anybody who isn't going to the dyno day at TDI http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=115074 fancy a free day out at Lydden? As a reward for us marshaling, we get a couple of guest tickets - any interest? http://semsec.org.uk - morning practice, then race until 18:00 curfew. Cheers, David & Chrissy

Sorry Craigy, we'll both be marshaling at Silverstone - 3 days of all sorts of motoring goodies and close enough to tap the driver on the head with our flags Have a great family holiday & don't let Leo drink as much as his old man is bound to. Cheers, David & Chrissy

A little bit of info that has just arrived on my marshaling web site (date is the night before the 3 day Silverstone Classic) :- Silverstone will host a memorial celebration to the late David Leslie at Silverstone circuit on Thursday 24th July, starting at 6pm at the BRDC farm. If you wish to attend Silverstone requests you send an email to davidlesliememorial@hotmail.co.uk so that they provide enough catering for all. Silverstone will provide a hog roast which you may try for a small charge, of which the proceeds will go to the Oxford Kidney Unit Trust Fund at Churchill Hospital in Oxford. Cheers, David

Hi Dean, Good to know you still remember this place - still remember your old car as the best colours on the RBMR run we joined you guys for. Are you going to blag a ride up to Prodrive for the McRae event at the end of August? Cheers, David & Chrissy

quality fire crew - NOT odd bods in shorts and casual clothes, small fire bottles, and no sign of any coordinated attack on the fire - scary!! I suppose it's quite a good advert for how not to do it though Having said that, nos is not the nicest fire to tackle anyway - just a few too many extra molecules of oxygen in there helping the fuel to go whoosh.
