Many thanks to everyone organising the FF "rescue shelter" today. Great to have somewhere to dry off a bit, with hot coffee (bet the cold drinks didn't go!) and a great tasting burger 
Now about fitting those patio heaters in the marquee & maybe a St Bernard with a barrel round it's neck? Just a suggestion
Finally worked out how to get the heater working properly in the mk1 Panda going home - bit complicated with 3 slidey things especially when the blue one needs to go to high to get heat Anyway good news is it works well when used correctly & I dried out within 30 miles which is actually pretty good going after that day!
Thanks again guys

so no one thinks having a massive marquee is a silly idea anymore then
Would have been better if the all the wing nut bolts had been there (goodness knows where they are) Think ben had a heart attack at B&Q at the price of each bolt (well m6x20 gutter bolt)
Hmm, I just cleared cache. Ok now?
i have added photo's no problem already.. just uploading more now.
you can get away with not putting any in the top of the uprights
spoke to soon, getting same error as well now. I'll let it stand in the corner and think about what it has done and try later on as well.. I managed to get all the pics of our stand up though
what an awesome day despite the weather (bloody freezing) was great to have a chinwag and put names to faces. i have to say a massive thank you to ben and everyone who organised it looking forward to mitcar despite being even further away
Ok, I'll check the gallery when I get back home. Sorry about that!
don't rush yourself Ben, you been running about sorting stuff all day. I didn't see you stood still at all, not even once. I command thee to put your feet up for at least an hour before you go messing about trying to fix things
I passed you guys as you left. That 8c made some noise.

That it did! Windows fully down, even though we were still freezing, and enjoyed him giving it the beans down the country lane.

It sure did, I got the majority of it on video but for the first time in 3 years my phones decided to screw itself
That would be me, least I could do after the ammount of work and prep you and the team put in. Always a great experience. ThanksI went through 6 pairs of socks - and a MASSIVE thank you to the chap who bought me some more from Tesco, what was your username again?
Who thought it was a silly idea? never been sorry it was there. (mind you, I've never built or dismantled it so I guess there might be some dissent there)so no one thinks having a massive marquee is a silly idea anymore then
Overall though actually a really good day, despite the lightweight turnout overall the crowd huddling in the shelter made for a really sociable feel. Nice to meet a few new faces and catch up on a few familiar ones.

Well despite the weather, i thought it was a great show.
I normally do the American car scene and popped my Italian car cherry on this one.
A big thanks to Ben and everyone that helped to organise the club stand.
Also thankyou to " the black box " , Rob youre a star mate, a pleasure to talk to you and thanks for the bits and the bumpers !!

The bad luck award must go to Andys Cinq, who on the way to get some brekkie had his bonnet flip up and mangle itself..........
But im pleased to say this is sorted now.
Thanks again to all and hope to see you soon !!

Right - home, updated a few bits and pieces and tried an upload from here which seemed to work
Ah right - really appreciated that - they just about lasted throughout the day
Wonder what happened to the Blue GP that we managed to get started.........
Fiver says he cancelled the greenflag got 2 minutes down the road then stalled.
