**Peter Mallett** · 18 Jun 2003, 06:01 (Ref:635170)

Enjoy,

I generally attend racing or not. Sadly this year I'm overseas.

hope the weather stays fine.

bacon sandwich · 18 Jun 2003, 06:41 (Ref:635186)

Will be there Sat and Sun - trying to decide whether to wear orange or me bobs. Tricky.

chezza · 18 Jun 2003, 10:17 (Ref:635354)

Wear your BOB's!

Hoping that my new BOB overalls will be ready this weekend...just hope that its dry cos I don't fancy being dumped in wet gravel!

simon drabble · 18 Jun 2003, 14:09 (Ref:635555)

I am racing on the Saturday and having raced on the Int circuit in a downpour the other day it holds no fear for me!!!!!! however I hope its dry and sunny as that is a lot nicer in an opentop car!!

Come and say hello.

Mike

Andrew Palmer · 19 Jun 2003, 13:41 (Ref:636618)

Mike will be over to see Bridget and you on Saturday morning after all our travels Friday.

**Peter Mallett** · 19 Jun 2003, 15:20 (Ref:636705)

Welcome aboard Andrew.

Hope its a great weekend. Makes me homesick reading about it.

(Its usually about this time of year when I think about selling the Capri and buying an FIA MGB). Firtunately it passes by Spa.

Say hello to Barry Sideways for me.

chezza · 19 Jun 2003, 17:01 (Ref:636806)

Hope our have a good race mike...hopefully i will not be meeting you in a gravel trap somewhere!

**Snapper Baz** · 20 Jun 2003, 08:21 (Ref:637337)

Stephen, what are you on about...Bacon Sandwich looks good in either black or orange though I bet she gets a bit warmer in those black things!

simon drabble · 20 Jun 2003, 08:34 (Ref:637346)

just looked at the weather forecast and its fair no rain for tomorrow max temp 71 -
which probably means it will be bucketing down!!
I am racing tomorrow in the BRDC round and looking fwd to it. Peter I know what you mean I too will fight the urge to get an FIA MGB but they do have a charm about them!

Suzy · 20 Jun 2003, 09:35 (Ref:637386)

I'll be there on Sunday at the Stowe circuit (anybody know where the hell you're supposed to park for that?).

chezza · 20 Jun 2003, 11:31 (Ref:637494)

U drive round the service road and go over the bridge that goes over hanger straight. There is a car park once you get over there.

Enjoy your weekend!

Suzy · 20 Jun 2003, 11:53 (Ref:637515)

Great. As long as I don't need to walk from the SRC!

Maisie · 20 Jun 2003, 13:18 (Ref:637593)

Bring a flask and slum it for once like the rest of us plebs

Suzy · 20 Jun 2003, 13:46 (Ref:637628)

Bah!!! Don't be cheeky to me dear Maisie or I'll post some pictures of you for everybody to see

) (Look everybody: I'm blackmailing a Moderator

)

Seriously, I'm not keen on leaving my car by the SRC given that somebody else we know had theirs broken into outside that building the other day at the test session (you know who I mean). Besides, I think I'll be staggering around with armfuls of photographs.

AND I want the chance to give Peril the opportunity to do a lap of Silverstone - albeit on the service road rather than the track (unless, of course, he has other ideas - after all, it IS an MG meeting

).

**Peter Mallett** · 20 Jun 2003, 14:21 (Ref:637668)

If you are a member of the MG Car Club you can get on track for (I think) about a tenner for three laps. Go to the register car parks in the middle of the International circuit and sign up.

You'll need to be there early though.

brickkicker · 22 Jun 2003, 21:21 (Ref:639462)

What a great weekend. Ive never seen so many MG.
OH and chezza did they manage to get a black hat HAHA

chezza · 23 Jun 2003, 10:32 (Ref:639932)

Some of those MG's were lovely...nearly bought one, but didn't have the ready cash unfortunately!

Yes a couple of them managed to blag a black hat and also they managed to get a couple of the black MG X-power (staff) t-shirts cheap!

Suzy · 23 Jun 2003, 20:51 (Ref:640717)

It was a great day wasn't it? I didn't go for the MG's originally but my plans changed when I got there. I have an MG and I really enjoyed it.

ss_collins · 23 Jun 2003, 21:33 (Ref:640761)

Well I'll never wear BOBS or Orange - not me I'm a rally marshal don't you know - none of this gravel trap mularkey here - proper marshalling takes place in the woods! (hiding from the now expected stream of abuse)

chezza · 23 Jun 2003, 22:05 (Ref:640804)

The MG's were great!! I've not been to a club meeting like that was that big before...looking at the cars for sale was the highlight, it was so hard not to part with some cash!

Never say never...i'll get u in BOB's or Orange at some point...although your race overalls would suffice!!!
