Patrick has asked to help with judging especially the Bx's, so to be fair I won't be entering anything of my own, so if your car is tidy and clean you could come away with a trophy or rosette!

Get polishing!

How about a prize for cleanest interior, or shiniest engine? Sadly, even if it did stop raining long enough for me to polish it, it would get covered in mud 200 yards from the house.

So glad I'm not the only one who is apparently as excited as a 7-year old with an upcoming birthday party

It's My First Rally too - as a grown up (officially speaking) in my own car anyway. Really looking forward to it.

Weather forecast seems a bit changeable - hope it stays reasonably dry on the day!

What time is everyone planning on meeting up. Working overtime all week, so I won't be travelling until Sunday morning.

Me too, Sunday morning probably sometime after 9/10am. Just polished the astra whilst it's not raining.

I'm stopping with a friend in Peterborough, so in theory I'll be there fairly early on the Sunday. Have got a lot to do, including a photo session with a certain beige machine... (hoping there is at least some nice weather!). Also contemplating changing a door in the field, and perhaps the accumulator sphere as I really want the tick-time fault resolving. It's going to be a busy day!

I hope to be there between 10.30 and 11.00.

We are leaving here at 9am so should be there for half 10, no point getting there too early.
