Cool Preparation - How You Doing?

My RA left 40 minutes ago for its final preparation work for Sunday - should get it back Saturday afternoon. Cutting it fine I know but worth it

Trailer is ordered (it is seriously cheaper to hire a trailer and drive the diesel Volvo up/down from Suffolk than stick 99RON into it for the journey )

Wheels/tyres ready.

Just need a bit of fuel in a jerry can, to load up the Volvo, collect the trailer, collect the scoob & its all go

What you got left to do?

Thats the only 8 you will see from me on Sunday, some er 'technical hitches' have intervened that dictate a moderated output ...............for the first few runs anyway then I'll see how far it goes before blowing up
