Standard burger van type, had a burger last time. Don't know what else it did other than meat and drinks. I'm packing some drinks, crisps and nibbles. Thrown some sockets and allen keys into the car to contribute to the cause. Might try and remember a folding chair.

Tesco is less than 5 minutes down the road and I normally go there for food as the burger van is ok but there is a mad rush at lunch.

I'm taking a cool box. No gazebo this time though as Dom isn't trailering his car and it needs the big Discovery to fit the stupid thing in.

That said, the way fitting one pair of brake pads has gone today I may well be going in my BMW! Or going shopping with my wife in Bristol lol

Will it fit in a sensible family hatchback with the seats down?

Put my car on the trailer yesterday, and covered it with a lightweight waterproof cover. The wind and torrential rain overnight ripped the cover off and the damned thing is now soaked inside. :( My tonneau doesn't fit properly due to the RAC roll bar and tombstone fibreglass driving seat). But the sun will soon dry it out! :)

Doh!! Here's hoping it dries on the way. We had thunder and lightning last night but it looks like the roads are nearly dry already.

Massive storms last night here as well.

Forecast is dry all day, and roasting this afternoon!

See you all in a while

Have fun all. Pics needed and full diagnosis afterwards of the spins!

Not long home and showered (god that felt good!) and now pulling my videos off the GoPro. They may make it online. Maybe.

 

The car survived ok but my intention to use up the remaining tread on the tyre came all too true when I had a huge lock up and put a lovely flat spot in them.

Dom was, as always, looking to shed some weight for those few final tenths.

And a few group shots from the paddock:
