We'll this is it.... I can't do any more serious work and Snetterton is 2 days away...should be about as fast as a small hand cart loaded with sprouts!

Here's a picture so I can prove I actually did it... fingers crossed.

May 10th - August 14th that's pretty quick.

    So where is the best place to view and those that are going (Suffolk is sending up a team) where shall we meet up, where shall we park?
    
    I have Nig and Angs, and James mobile numbers so that will help on the day. Alternatively we can all descend on the paddock and discuss the merits of Nig's bonnet stripe!
    
    Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday, where I will be wearing a hat and factor 25!
    
    Ohh yeah, I will have an empty seat in my GT6 from Manningtree near Colchester leaving around 10 - 10.30 am, if anyone is interested (must have a degree in GT6 pushing)?

        Is that to give an impression of speed - even when its sitting in the paddock having broken down? ;o) hehehehe
        
        Hmmm... I have an idea for a paint scheme...

          Nig,
          
          There's been a lot of discussion (and money changing hands) about where and when you're going to break down and even write yourself and motor off.
          
          Well I for one hope you don't do any such thing as it takes ages to clear the debris away and I don't want to get away late!
          
          See you Sunday
          
          Don
          
          Oh where's the best place to view from, seeing as you won't be on the telly??

              I have a spare too, will bung it in with Kev's.
              
              Best place for viewing in the Russell chicane - stacks of desparate last minute outbraking manoeveres and you can see the exit of coram from here too. Or can even watch at the end of the big revett straight into the esses. Its pretty easy to move round inside snett between these two.
              
              See you there

      Don, James et al etc etc!!
      
      I ain't gonna make it on Sunday! Still got this blasted head cold/bug and its drivin me nuts! On top of that, the car has developed an intermittent fault which is annoying and I need to try and sort it this weekend as the car is my daily driver!!
      
      On a different tack - I notice that ITV1 (Central) are showing the BTCC Rounds 13 and 14 from Snetterton tomorrow (2 p.m.)! Not nearly half as exciting as the TSSC racing (IMHO) but I might have a gander at it!
      
      Have fun on Sunday!! Boo Hoo!!
      
      Regards

        Looks like I'll be joining Chris' club too Im afraid... my car doesnt want to join the party...
        
        The car fired up fine on Tuesday evening... but now it doesnt want to play...
        
        It's just turning over... and over... and over... got no second hand to help figure out if its sparking or not... and no car today to go and get bits if I need them.
        
        Looks like Im out for the count too
        
        Sniff sniff...

            As promised yesterday I'm not going to tell anyone that the reason your car wouldn't fire up is because you forgot to pull the choke out -secret is safe with me mate!
