@Stutts, We are NOT meeting at the Oxford services, but on a layby on the A40, about 3 miles west of jct 8 0f the M40                                                                                                                                                                             

many thanks ragnar have checked out map and know where you mean ill be there............ thanks,,,, on xjr for this one                                                                                                                                                                             

Hey XJ -I found myself a delicious B&B near to the rally..... gorgeous room, ensuite, scrummy food, out in the countryside ......and it's a darn site cheaper than the grotty Premier Inn/Holiday Inn/Travel lodge Etc......... 'tis gonna be soooooo lushfully  comfy!

why thank you betty, i have been girding my loin and telling myself to be brave and stay in the shopping bag and you go and do this... it's just plain cruel y'know. i took my sleeping bag out of it's bag today and it's all fluffy and cozy so may not be tooo bad. better be bloody warm though.

'Tis ok XJ - I just thought it my  absolute duty to let yer know........ and even if yer not warm, at least yer loins'll be girded  -

OOOh La la !!!!!!
!
                                                                                                                                                                             

i think warm is better than griddled lions anyday.

Was a great weekend :) x                                                                                                                                                                              

There seems to be a malicious rumour circulating that i am now a camping convert. Let me just say, when i arrived home 2:00 am sunday morning and got into my bed with it's freshly laundered sheets and gently fell asleep in exquisite comfort the only thing going through my head was wtf was i doing last night. Tne rally was awesome and i will deffo be there next year, just not sure if the canvas bag will make it.
