Stoneleigh 2012

Well my back went again last Friday ................ when i was sleeping after nights ???????????????

So on sat morning i prob shouldnt have delivered the gazeebo to Dave M and then spent the weekend up at the Newark Air Museum. The 70+ year olds were fitter than me.

Drove all weekend on a balance of painkillers and pain. So now off work for my 3 dayshifts and wondering if i shall cancel next weekends holiday instead of doing Himley and Stoneleigh.
Might just manage the Sunday at Himley.

It will be safer as Debs isnt going there

You had better watch out Rob - you never know where I may turn up and I havent forgotten your comments !!!

This week is going to be constant rain, sleet & hail...

Had to dismantle gazebo on sat night & rescue bits from down the road !

Today, when i've got to lie underneath walle to sort out the exhaust.....pissing it down.

Hopefully tmrw when i start painting, it will only hail....

Lets hope the weather men are true to form and have it completely wrong.

Well there's a surprise - forecast is changing by the day.

Think Chris has provided the most accurate forecast - There will be weather

As long as it's food with no violence Dave,that's fine by me.

Brilliant sunshine,and warm,on 2 consecutive weekdays,must be heading for crap weather on a bank holiday again!! How's the drought puddles doing up your way,oh and the drought floods. It is amaizing how drought makes everything so wet!!

Enjoy yourselves.

Hows about this (in case weather is a little damp?)

That's brilliant Although I did notice a few design flaws - mainly the fact that if he car isn't there at the front there's a bloody great hole letting all the wind and rain in

Did they give any reasons for the cancelation? Still there is Gaydon to look forward to for your Mini bits. If there is anything you want sooner I will be doing the London to Brighton run in the middle of May and can pick you up some bits.

They say it's going to get colder over the weekend,have bought a heater attachment for my single burner gas stove,maybe we'll give it a try.

Condition of ground apparently.
Thanks for the offer. I think Tony is going to get some bits online.

After the problems with the hot water unit I have checked that the blown air heating is working

Your blown air heating may be working very well but can Collette put up with the smell?

It's all fine mate - as long as I remember to light a match now and again

Phrrrrrrrrrrrrup!!

It'll be fine,just fine,no worries,probably tropical(we havn't had that at Stoneleigh yet!).

After a 6 day manic attempt....i've thrown the towel in..

Walle wont make it to Stoneleigh

After working from 7:00 till usually midnight, most days, the work & money required is too much.
I could have got him there, but he would have been seriously bodged. So i've decided to take a bit longer & do a proper job.

On the plus side, for me at least, i'll be there tmrw with the munchkin. May even camp over & stsy monday.

Hi, Just a quick message to say how great it was meet up again at Stoneleigh.
A little disappointing that there wasn't a few more of us but I know there were other things on, etc.

Sunday's weather was much better than anticipated and the show seem quite successful.

We had a bit of a ride out to a pub in the evening and we were joined by the two Robs.

Not a bad weekend.....despite the weather.

Forgot to mentioned.......

As I suspected....my Ebay Purchase proved to be fraudulent

Really?

Well that's just bloomin' typical!

A great weekend for sure. I've not seen it that busy for years (the Sunday that is). There were a lot more cars on club stands, well all except ours. We usually have 13-14 Scamps but this year only half that number. The show was deserted on Monday (i guess someone saw the weather report)

Still we did have a cracking time and the mixed grill was of the scale

Dave
Thanks for organising the meal.
Once the plates (Platers) arrived there was not much conversation from our end of the table

I was glad to get out of the house as i was going "stir crazy". Mind you i dont think my back really benefitted from it.

Roll on "Darn Sarf" and the Hants Hol
