The CCC X Rally - 7th April 2013.

[Tim Leech]

Grass only mate, bring a brolly!

[Mothman]

Bringing a brolly is not a problem Tim. If i was to park offroad around here at the moment i would need a tractor to tow me out and thats something i wont subject a MK 1 BX to, or a MK 2 for that matter.
Lets hope it improves quite a lot.

[Tim Leech]

last year it was a bit damp but the place where we parked was on a hill so the water drained away.

[Mothman]

Fingers crossed it wil all be ok as i really need a break, albeit a short one.

Andy

[Citroening]

Whoa, hang on a minute folks! There is the possibility of hard standing - will post details when on the computer later, but its not all grass!

[Mothman]

Thats a relief Franklin.

Andy

[Daisy]

Be good to meet you Andy.Wear lots of jumpers as last year was bitterly cold, and bring plenty of cash for the excellent burgers at the Food Market.

Screw the burgers, I'm after the Stilton cheese!! Seconded on the chilly weather last year. It was lovely and warm when I left Lancaster. Paul is popping over to mine at Easter for some BX fettling. So wear sunglasses folks, as I suspect the valver might receive some polishing by the Autoglym Meister.

[Mothman]

The way things are going weather wise, it will be winter woollies that are needed or sturdy waterproofs.
Had hoped to have done quite a bit of work on Gloria by now but ime mafraid the weather has been against me. Here's hoping that there will be time over Easter.
Be great to meet a lot of you.

bring plenty of cash for the excellent burgers at the Food Market.

Andy, if there's any chance of you bringing those bits for me, I'll be handing you plenty of cash to spend at the market!

[Mothman]

Yes, certainly Mike,

that wont be a problem. However, may not be spending much on grub cos of my damned diet!!

Andy

[citsncycles]

That's all right - more money to spend on motors!

[Citroening]

So, looking past the current wintry conditions, this is two weeks today!

I'll have to get Alan to have a word with his friend's in high places again...

If the weather was so bad that the grassed area was unsuitable then I am currently in talks with Burghley regarding an area of hardstanding right outside the house...

Updates to follow as and when...

On other forums they've got a list going of people attending, so I've just had a look on here and constructed a quick list of those saying that they're attending...

1. BX 16v - Mark
2. BX TZD Turbo (The Aubergine)
3. BX 19TGD (Daisy)
4. Timex - Mike
5. ghaddon
6. BX 19RD Auto (Gloria) - Andy
7. Hilary
8. vulgalour ?
9. Sandre ?
10. Tim

So that's so far from on here, which is promising! The more the merrier though - apologies if I missed you out, or if you're not planning to attend. Feel free to copy'n'paste the list and add yourself to it.
