My ticket came today! What is the situation with us parking up? Will we have a space allocated and we all turn up as and when? Or do we need to go in as a group?

Just turn up and you will be sent to our parking area.

Ok cool, I'd like to say we will set off at 7, but in reality it will end up being a bit later.

is everyone going on Sunday or Saturday or both? I'm guessing Sunday will be when most of us are there? Is the area for the MMa going to be there on both days?

Yep,

There will certainly be a few of us both days. Will be there Saturday morning and camping for the weekend.

Hardcore! $\:D/$

I'm planning on getting there early Sunday via A13 and M25 if anyone fancies a meet-up and drive down?

For us the realistic time will be setting off around 8 from Harlow. Really looking forward to it. Little un is REALLY looking forward to it! Hasn't stopped babbling about "Going in big green car to see racing cars and monster trucks" since Tuesday! It's hard getting through to a two year old that it was over a week away.

It really is a great event. Last year was beautiful weather and beautiful cars.
Did plan to clean the truck Saturday , but know looking like I'll be under the hood !!!
Love a dead line !!

Just seen the weather predicted. 28 degrees of British summer !
Sounds like Mopar weather to me.

I'm hoping to have some bits done on the car this week that are beyond my capabilities. Hope you are right with the weather forcast!

I'll be seeing you all there too. Not on the club stand though. I'm in the film area, wherever that is!!

Last couple of years (ie all previous years!) it been in the parking area just outside the shops under the main grandstand.

Just look out for a sea of General Lees and Bullitt Mustangs

My ticket's arrived just got to pre-book for the passengers, deadline is Wednesday for advanced tickets i think.
It's only the driver who gets in free.

As mentioned, we'll be using the Dodge again, cos the Satellite is still awaiting some investigation on a smoking engine

.......

Shame tho, cos this Sunday, 7th June is 30 years to the day that we bought it. Would have been nice to use it as part of the anniversary celebrations!

on the bright side.... we're picking the Dodge up from Hauser's tomorrow morning, after having the annoying driveline vibration attended to, that we've put up with for far too long

Geof found that the yoke, where the UJ sits, was worn, which still allowed some UJ movement when clamped up. He's road tested it to (an indicated) 90mph (so prob nearer 80

) and says it's all good

So the trip round the M25 on Sunday should be pleasure and not a chore, for a change
