I've just remembered an essential (which even Steves forgotten) a pair of riggers gloves. it saves you having to sit around for an hour to let the engine bay cool down and helps prevent those "TVR bites" which most owners carry the scares from on the insides of the arm and backs of hands.

Is this because the Griff is a bit light at the back?
No this is for the 520. It costs me quite a bit to go sprinting. I don't want to screw up the day knowing that I had the spare sitting at home. Everything gets taken out before hand. It is stowed in colour coded boxes and labelled containers. Takes about 6 minutes to unload. At Duxford we actually had four collapable chairs and a 3m x 3m Gazebo as well.
The Griff has a stripped down set of goodies in a holdall.
