Just seen on another post that the organisers are trying to get all people there by 09.00 for the official start of the event. This ain't going to be possible if we're meeting at Crosshands at 08.40......any ideas?

crosshands to CC is about a 5-10min drive - how long do you reckon it will take to get in the car park????
we push these times up abit and get to crosshands for 8.20 or something and get to gordano for 7.45?

Agree with Matt, 8.40 from Cross Hands is fine plus there are plenty of entrances into the circuit for cars parking in different areas and by the sounds of it a large proportion of the Subaru contingent ( us ) are travelling together.

I am bringing my ancient video camera on Saturday - I want to try and get footage of every version of Scoob ever made 
It would be good to stand on the outside of the chicane on road to Combe as all the Scoobs fly past and get some wicked shots...
Hope everybody has cleaned their car 'cos my Mondeo Estate will be "autoglym'd" to the max :P

T cut - Your 'avin' a laf aren't u !! on that loverly metalic paint - you don't want to do that sir, oh no !
Simon, yeh, Do you know whare I live ? e-mail if not or we could meet down at the Shell in downend. Filled up tonight so won't be needing any. Let me know.
Should we all put some ID' in the windows for easy identification ?
Just doing a SteveB A4 poster !! come on, you know it makes sense.
Oh yeh, cleaned the beastie tonight (and tucked her away under cover in the garage)as well and fitted radar patrol (as i'm in the offic tomorrow)so all is ready. Just need to black the tyres, check the pressures and i'm ready.

I won't be coming after all, I have errands to do. If you see a big white van with a 24 inch smiley on your travels, honk as it will be me.
Paul will be there early though.
Cheers.

YEEEEEHAAAAA!!!!!
Managed to get some tickets to be picked up at the gate for paddock C ( this is the right paddock isn't it I don't want to end up sat in the middle of a load of Audis)
Guess I will have to wash the car now! Snowcrash as your doing yours tonight do you fancy doing mine for 20p, 30p if you wax it as well.
As I guess it's gonna be an all turbo convoy to CC is there any chance I can borrow a strong tow rope so that I don't have to play catch up all the way there?

I am pulling my hair out here!!!!!
Of the four drivers I had in mind to accompany me,Three have dropped out and at the moment left with no driver at all as I cant get in contact with the fourth.
You would think they would be lining up to drive the thing wouldn't you, beats the **** outta me.
Anyway if I cant get some ****** do drive this thing I will have to cadge a lift with one of my RS friends who IS definatly going
Very tempting to just drive it myself but not worth it having only 24 days left to run.
The likely hood of getting pulled is going to be quite high I should imagine.
So if I'm not at J14 M5 when you cruise by, don't wait.
If I'm just late thats my own stupid fault
Simon,
I will ring you when I'm there (RS boys are going later in the morning)to meet up and pay you for ticket.
If I have not met you by the time you get to Crosshands SELL THE TICKET and make a profit (as a way of saying thanks for your efforts to get the ticket in the first place)
I'm sure someone will want it.
That's all
very miffed

Should be 6 cars by the time we get to Gordano, Scoobdoo, Duracell, Eagle 7, WRX and myself. 2 from Cornwall, 3 from Plymouth and hopefully 1 from Taunton (Andy where are you!!). If anyone fancies tagging along, we leave Sainsburys Marshmills 6AM'ish. Stop at McDonalds in Taunton (one by bowling alley) for 7AM'ish to meet up with Andy S, and then onto Gordano for 8.

All we need to do now is pray for it not to rain!!
I'd hate to see all this hard work get washed away. Having said that I did do mine on Thursday, just a quick rub with a towel in the morning and we're ready (oh, and that's the car)
