That's worked Tim as the Met Weather forecast has now improved, no thunder and lightening just heavy rain showers Saturday and heavy rain Sunday, yippee!

Well it does look pretty much certain now that there will be rain, so let's hope that it's a couple of showers - anyone got an umbrella like thisone?!!

It actually looks quite bright here ATM...

I'm aiming for mid to late Friday afternoon Franklin.
I'll be in a dark green XM with a cracked front numberplate

Won't stop me coming up.

I'm all set, wonder if I can get off work early....

Ill be setting off tomorrow afternoon, hopefully early afternoon but more than likely later on. If im early I might drop by the show ground on the evening, if not, I'll see you Saturday morning.

Have you been finding the end of your XM the hard way?

The weather outlook does appear to be better than earlier in the week, only light rain on Saturday and a light rain shower on Sunday, according to the BBC weather site.

Well let's hope that the weather stays like this - beautiful blue sky here at the moment.

Fortunately not Chris, according to the service history, its been like it for a good few years, an advisory on an MoT back in the early to mid 2000s

I daren't look at the weather to be honest, as long as its dry long enough for me to stick up the tent I'll be happy.

Well the weather is glorious here ATM, as you can see...

Nice!

Its starting to look a little gloomy here at the moment, so I guess I'll be driving up with the bad weather on tow

I should probably get on with the packing and make a move soon...

Tow the weather back in the opposite direction and allow everyone to enjoy a rain free show, come on Kev where's your public spirit?

Its been a nice morning here but its getting grey and dull now, hopefully the weekend will be better than expected, but it never stops me from enjoying the events.

I have just got in from my Graduation ceremony, just about to start packing and get the Xantia out of the garage. Should be on my way soon

It's been OK here today. Very hot, close and sticky as if a big thunderstorm is brewing...

The Activa has been well scrubbed and is looking good

Weather is not looking too bad. I listened to the forecast on Gardeners Question Time this afternoon and it is well, not exactly wall-towall sunshine but just a bit damp at times so that's OK.

See you all tomorrow

Fingers crossed for the weather. Have just given the Activa a quick blast with the pressure washer and a vacuum.

Mostly packed too. Looks like I might get off work early tomorrow too. Should be there around 5-6, possibly a bit earlier.

Not sure what day we'll be making an appearance. Probably Sunday and maybe on a two-wheel Citroen!

Undecided as yet! I feel a need to have to clean my beloved car so much so that the two-wheeler Citroen maybe get jealous!
