Did I hear right, as there are less wedges, other tivs will be able to run against the groaners?

Bruce. I am now listed as 'dubious' (Queue brickbats) Car won't start suspect fuel pump relays, depends if I can get them and it fixes the issue! May appear in the eurobox instead. Sorry.

Hope so.
I will be there Saturday and am more than willing to join the Wedge gang being an ex 400SE owner myself.
Cant have the Grim boys stealing the show!

Ive camped at all the meetings at York, once at Shakey and the V festival.
Thought i would treat myself to a real bed for a change.
Besides its going to be cold saturday night.
Do you have one of those camping heaters? They are a Godsend!

I'll be on-site the whole weekend; havn't a clue what the other person is up to.

Still raining! yikes: jigsaw, beer, get a brew on.

Still promising to be dry and cool; your motor will like that smile.

See you there.

Great day and a great weekend guys. It was good to finally meet you all and put some more faces to names. Lets hope we do it again some time soon.
