List of who's booked silverstone with a ultima
Discussion
Just made it home in time for Silverstone Classic at the weekend, after completing 2,700 miles in heat wave conditions in Alpine Europe, that included all the highest & well known mountain roads. Replaced fuel filters and fuel pump after pump stopped working in the intense afternoon heat (came back to life in the evenings!) Quick clean up tomorrow and I will be at Silverstone for Saturday and Sunday.

I've just checked the weather forecast and it is looking like it is going to be raining all day Sunday.
Does anyone have the same problem as me when the car is wet and you open the door the water pours into the cockpit?
The only way I have found to counter this is to dry the door and surrounding area before opening the door, not exactly possible when you are inside the car in the first place...
Will everyone be closing their cars up and leaving them to go and enjoy the day once its raining?
I will live in hope for now that the forecast is rather pessimistic!

If there is any chance of rain, make sure you have a towel within easy reach to place on top of the side pod before opening the door!Edited by Evaireaux on Friday 24th July 13:30

Sorry chaps, I'm having to pull out of tomorrow's get together. I went to check the car ready for the trip and discovered that one of my Facet fuel pump had failed (again!), that makes 6 in my 15 years of ownership. I can't risk the trip on the remaining pump since that has been somewhat temperamental recently.
I'm now looking for alternative low pressure pumps that will fit in the same position and is of a similar size to the Facets, but a bit more (no, a lot more) reliable. Holley pumps look the same, but I believe these are noisy. Any suggestions?
(Don't answer in this thread, I'll start a new one)

So who else is at the Hinkley Island? Mark Hunter and myself are here (cars around in the back car park ... A black and a White CanAm) there's also a Red GTR in another car park but not sure who it is.
If any who's here reads this, mark and I are booked into the restaurant for 7.30pm and you'll see me in a chuck Norris T-shirt

Just got here. I am in what I think is the top car park but didn't see any Ultimas. Will wander down to the bar in a moment. Booked in for dinner at 7 as have my young son with me who might not make it to 7.30.
I am on email if anyone wants to pm me. Otherwise am with a boy in a green checked shirt and I am in a blue polo shirt.
Might move the car to be with the others later on.

Arrived at midnight! Finally found you all parked at the back. Then spent 20 minutes walking round the place to find my room! Managed to beach myself on one speed bump, lol. Stayed late tonight at Silverstone to watch Status Quo. Hopefully all catch up in the morning. Please someone bang on door room 132 if there is no sign of me by 6.45. Thanks.
