Just made a very last minute executive decision to book a place for the weekend and put a call out to friends to seen who's up for joining me.
Hopefully the Vee will be ready in time and in fine fettle after its current refurb.
Look forward to meeting you all.
Cheers
David

Hi, All,

Just a short note to explain why I can not be with you all at Silverstone this month. I have had somewhat of a nightmare year in that I contracted an infection in my spine at the start of the year that led to some nasty complications and a fifteen week stay in hospital. I have had to learn to walk again and am reliant on a walker to cover any sort of distance. The walker, of course, will not fit in a Vee! Whilst my condition is improving, I wouldn't be able to cope with the spread out nature of "The Home of British Motor Racing" so will have to miss the Festival this year.

Enjoy yourselves.

Simon

Sorry to be a letdown

Had a bit of a crappy year with getting let down by people. That’s messed up several of my plans this year, consequently the Clio isn’t currently on the road.

I’ll still be attending though, will be great to catch up with you guys again.

The list of attendees is as follows:

1. Lankan, Phase 2, Illiad Blue [Fri, Sat, Sun]
2. rustedandrotten, Phase 2, Liquid Yellow [Fri, Sat, Sun], "inc marquee etc!"
3. Nobby87, 182 Cup, Racing Blue [Sat, Sun]
4. Kett, Phase 1, Iceberg Silver [Fri, Sat, Sun]

Bit of a good news / bad news report from me.

Good news: my Ph1 is finally ready following 9 years off the road. It represents the epitome of the individual programme that didn’t materialise with Renault Sport: more power and a more salubrious interior.

Bad news: my work/life balance has sudden shifted and I will be forced to miss the beginning of the event. Look forward to seeing those who are still in attendance at the tail end.

In the interim, if anyone can use a *free* Silverstone Woodlands camping pass between 22-26 August - please make yourselves known.

Unfortunate. Will you make it on the Saturday at all?

***** UPDATE *****
Due to the expected adverse weather conditions and high winds, the first adverse weather warning we have received from the organisers, the club marquee will not be erected on Friday (23rd). Weatherwise, Saturday and Sunday are looking much better.

"Whilst the forecast looks largely dry and sunny, we are expecting some gusting winds, particularly on Thursday and Friday. For those of you planning on erecting a temporary structure of any kind, please make sure that gazebos, flags, etc are suitably weighted, and we recommend that you pack away any loose items overnight to avoid damage. Please note, if structures are unable to withstand the wind, then they may need to be dismantled temporarily while the gusting winds pass."

Simon ([mention=4264,#0000FF]rustedandrotten[/mention]) will be the on-site point of contact on Friday since I will not be able to make it due to the unavoidable circumstance of carrying out my civic duty (Jury Service). Of course, that too may get cancelled if there are "too many leaves on the track"! :rollseyes:

As such, if anyone is interested, for now, I have 2 entrance tickets (for Friday) that I would be happy to forward (for free) to anyone interested. Please PM me after downloading/installing the Silverstone app and creating/setting up your account - you need to pass me the email address you used to create your Silverstone account.

The list of attendees is as follows:

1. Lankan, Phase 2, Illiad Blue [Sat?, Sun?]
2. rustedandrotten, Phase 2, Liquid Yellow [Fri, Sat, Sun]
3. Nobby87, 182 Cup, Racing Blue [Sat, Sun]

11. DaveL485, Phase 1, Iceberg Silver [Sat]

 

[MrBlueSky]

Disappointed to report that I too have some changed circumstances.
I'll still be attending Fri-Sun, however not with the Vee. Despite frantic last minute attempts at alignment and balancing I still have a worrying vibration from the front at 65-75mph so don't think its wise to attempt the journey down in it.
Will be sure to pass by and hang out despite no Vee.
Look forward to meeting new and old faces.
Regards
David

Hi, I don’t know if anyone can help, I have tickets for Saturday and a display pass for BMW which is now stuck in my garage behind scaffolding. I can bring my V6 but need a display pass copy to put in the windscreen so to be marshalled to the right area. Silverstone are not being overly helpful. I’m sure a copy would be fine as I have paid full price just for a different area.
Thanks, hopefully someone can help, Ian
