That's a shame, I was gonna ask you for them, in fact any that you have of me and LMW would be good, I know I have asked before, but I need them again. LOL

It's looking a bit grim Folks You might not need your thermals but you will probably need your waterproofs! Has anyone got a Gazeebo? It might not be great for BBQ or sitting out... Bowling anyone?

Well I've tried the weather for every place we are going and it's no different for Saturday or Sunday

The South West is dry & bright on Saturday so if we are lucky this will come north a bit more. Just remember when you breath out to do it in a North-Easterly direction

The list at the moment is:-
CharlieWhiskey (in super-quiet stealth mode pending delivery of backbox)
DaveD & Rachael
greg.g & Alison
neil@wrx
boomer (with his list)
ChrisB

Possibles:-
Kev ???
Paul Type R ?
CRAFT x2 ?
pnbond007 ?

Can't make it:-
TaviaRS - sends apologies
markr1963 & Theresa - (say Helloha from Hawaii)
Little Miss WRX - Double booked with 2 footie matches in Sydney
TonyG - working
missyc - working, as usual!

Looks like it's gonna be a small cosy group this year with only 6-8 motors but who cares, it's the roads we are there for, and the scenary, and the beer, and...

G&A,

cummon Greg - you are "the bionic man"!! Don't let a bit of wind put you off

Stick a big SUN on the weathermap - as per spoiler on the Scooby!!!

WCTs are what you make of it - not what is dealt!

Exclamation

Just a warning for any of you coming from the North!

The M6 is still CLOSED Southbound between J11 (Cannock South) and J10a (M54) - they reckon until lunchtime today.

Thus you may wish to come off at J12, then A5 and A449 down to the M54, or take a chance that things are not backing up approaching J11 and nip down the A460. Doh, silly me, you would probably be doing that anyway, 'cos you can't joing the M54 from the M6 South

LOL you muppet boomer

It is easier to come off at 13 and go down the A449 anyway, which is what most of the other traffic will be doing

Thanks for the warning I will pick another route!

Aloha from Waikiki beach.

Temps in the low 30's, gentle breeze! What can I say?

Fly tomorrow to Kauai which should be good; less touristy and much greener. Tuesday we're off to the big island to look at few volcanoes then it's the long haul to Kiwi land.

Tough life ain't it:

Mark and Theresa
