Now I'm confused...well I was for most of the day, but that is another story.
I take it you'll be at the whittlebury camp site...or somewhere else?

I'm camping friday & saturday........ great experience cooking breakfast with sportscars thundering past .

Ian - the camping is on the in-field of the circuit at the back of maggotts/becketts.

The only downside is I won't be attending in the S
as I have decided its about time I took the body off and sorted the chassis (and the fact that the MOT ran out last week - and I'm sure it's gonna fail....).

But will see you there... will be in my eurobox focus diesel!!

I'll also be at Silverstone for the weekend and camping Saturday night.

LMES GT's are due to race from 16.00 to approx 22.00 on Saturday - I'll happily drink a few beers with anyone available!

I went last year and it was basically head to the infield and find a space for your car and tent.

I'll be arriving late morning / lunchtime to catch the afternoons qualifying. Is it worth arranging to meet up at a set time near Silverstone and drive into circuit and camp site together? I'll be coming from Northampton / M1 direction.

Hi Clive,
Are you still bringing the missus along ? We´ll be at Silverstone most of Saturday (although probably not staying over). I´ll look out for you - there´s some photos I need to show your wife

Clive, as you know I am no good at these computers, so what is YHM. I hate acronyms, they are for lazy people.

I've had an idea
LONGERS hows about meeting at the Rothersthorp southbound services 11.00 Saturday morning. All you guys coming up from the M40, we'll meet you inside...in-field of the circuit at the back of maggotts/becketts.
WOODY will be there on the Friday night.
So if he could make his Eurobox obvious (or himself) Once we have a few there, the rest should follow?

Is this the services where A43 goes under M1? If so, sounds like a great place to meet!

I'll email you my mobile number through your profile - haven't got it with me at the moment and as I don't use it day to day I can never remember the number!!

Cheers,
Longers

LONGERS...Yes, exactly that one. I hope my profile works!

CLIVE F...Easy. Go through the main entrance and showing your camping pass. You'll be directed to (what I've been lead to believe) the camping area in-field of maggott/becketts, where you will be able to park your car right by your tent.

See you all there, wherever that may be.

Clive, still having trouble with that chuffin silverstone web site. Definately refuses to take my buisness debit card and having problems with the numbers on the back of my current account debit card, TO%^&RS. I will phone them at work to get tickets, never had problems buying things over the web before though.
