I'll bring my note pad for the orders then Craig

Blimey Spooner, you have lots that I was going to bring so I'll leave it up to you. If you want to lighten your load then let me know if you want me to bring any of what you mentioned.

The burning question I have left. Who likes rice (need to know how much to make) and hands up if people don't want garlic in it. (This is way too organised!)

Can someone bring jelly babies? I forgot to buy some

Oh no! Not camp fires. Craig.... leave the petrol at home

THR · 5 May 2001, 01:21 (Ref:89107)

EVERYONE knows that jelly babies are really for adults

THR · 5 May 2001, 12:32 (Ref:89265)

SPOONERBORO · 5 May 2001, 12:36 (Ref:89267)

24 bottles of that Grolsch stuff will be doing me just nicely!!

and i have actually forgotten something on that list - THE BANNER

hadnt better forget that - mind u its not too far to rush back i suppose!!

lorny not bothered bout bringing all that stuff as it all fits in this massive blue box which contains all my camping gear so its cool!!

got the barbi!! its quite small but its about twice size of one of them throw away things so it should be big enough

cant wait

p.s it is 13.33 here just about ready to go and play footie and guess what it is still bloody gorgeous weather but there is a slight wind though - fingers crossed for sun/mon

have only got bout 4 plates and 4 mugs & cutlery etc so if anyone wants to bring there own that might help

**Craig** · 5 May 2001, 16:56 (Ref:89338)

Bugger! Despite paying extra for a courier delivery, my new camera has failed to turn up

SPOONERBORO · 5 May 2001, 19:06 (Ref:89372)

re: saving my gazebo - although your car windows were quite steamed>...so anything could of been happenin but ill trust u it was a 10tenths meeting of somekind (god wish my workplace and such inter team bonding)

**Craig** · 5 May 2001, 19:13 (Ref:89374)

**** off!!

Lorna · 5 May 2001, 19:21 (Ref:89377)

Olly! Shame on you for such comments!

We were having a 10 Tenths meeting trying to sort out all the merchandise that you lovely people are going to buy

Will be great to see you this weekend, Olly.

I have some plates, cups and plastic cutlery so should cover everyone, Spooner. I even have napkins! The only thing that will be missing are the butlers and the chandelier

SPOONERBORO · 5 May 2001, 19:27 (Ref:89383)

who needs a butler when u have a bouncer - they dont call him Big Olly for nothing

SL · 5 May 2001, 19:44 (Ref:89391)

Bacon has been purchased, 16 rashers, hope thats enough.

Should arrive Thruxton around 11:00 / 11:30. I will look out for all the flags & listen for the air horns. Please look out for a blue Nissan 200.

Simon

Teletubby · 5 May 2001, 20:12 (Ref:89395)

What time will you guys be around on Monday as I have to be there by 08:30 (to look after the medical needs of the crowd don'tcha know!

I could look you up if you'll be up by then? :0)

Lorna · 5 May 2001, 20:17 (Ref:89396)

Nice one SL!

I have a big cool box for storing it til the morning.

I bought an airhorn today!

SL · 5 May 2001, 21:29 (Ref:89412)

Tele T

By the amount of booze already promised 08:30 might be a wee bit early. 10:30 might see signs of life, after all it is an afternoon start. Look out for the flags & bring coffee & Asprins

SL

Lorna · 5 May 2001, 22:20 (Ref:89435)

And plenty of water! Dehydration should have set in by the morning

There may be life at 8.30am. Not too good at sleeping in tents. Hope to meet up with you Teletubby!

ozywoodwards · 6 May 2001, 08:30 (Ref:89574)

To anybody who is comming to Thruxton today, but hasn't left yet I can tell you that the weather is overcast and very cold, (typical Thruxton if you ask me).

**Craig** · 7 May 2001, 20:44 (Ref:89967)

Wow wow wow!!

Mega!

Great time was had by all - especially last night - what a crack. We seemed to acquire one Daz (welcome to the gang bloke), one bloke from Dartford (near Somerset ?), a chequered flag (erm... less said the better!) and one or two hangovers...

We also got told of for trying to walk the track (miserable sods!) and the 10 Tenths banner arrived, as did the B&Q flag (!) - i'm tired now... need sleep!

Next stop, Silverstone, next Saturday... see you all there folks...

SPOONERBORO · 7 May 2001, 20:55 (Ref:89974)

wow i agree craig what a superb weekend - met loads more ten tenths members and got to know a few more a little better.
Sunday nite was a laugh as was pit walkabout cheers Jon, Alan and Phil!!!
Super race day surrounded by super people!!

Well done Craig, let the spirit of your website live on!!
(MOTORSPORT AS IT SHOULD BE ENJOYED)

THR · 7 May 2001, 21:08 (Ref:89980)

so who was the guy in the stupid hat?
who were the wusses that left b4 the bemers?

nice horns tho...

would have said hello, but to busy watching racing, and u only put the banner up at the very end!!!!
d'oh

does anyone else agree that the touring cars should support the formula renault? (not other way round) they were FAR fastest and better to watch.

ahh well.....
im tired to, got up at 6am to get there. just got back.(after staying til end)

**Craig** · 7 May 2001, 21:12 (Ref:89983)

Stupid hat ? hmmm... that'd be Spooner and myself... there were two of us!

There were more than one of us who left before the end - because we went to a different position for better photos... and then into the paddock to speak to a couple of the drivers.

Where were you, sir ? Why didn't you say hi ?

Anyway, glad to see the banner is doing it's job

Sorry we missed Teletubby too... we did parp at the red van with rescue written on... was that you ?
