Are there any plans/times for the Saturday and Sunday - eg arrival time, a "drive out" etc? Anyone arranged a "how loud is your Griff" competition?

I'd say Saturday 11am onwards. There is no timetable this year, and there is no organised drive-out, as last years (on sunday morning, with about 18 cars), was a bit chaotic, with the other cars about.

I'll see if Rev-erend from the Wedgers will bring his decibel meter with him, but as he's only coming Saturday, we'd better sort that out Saturday afternoon.

I'm expecting Sunday to be THE day (as last year), and we have several stalls and dealers displaying, not to mention the special guests.

Barbq is Saturday night. I suspect we may end up in the pub afterwards, rather than the Hotel, especially if the wedding party are as ignorant as the lot the Wedgers had to put up with!

I can only make the Sunday (on hols on Sat), but it sounds like it may be the best day. Pity about any exhaust test, the competition at the BBWF last weekend was superb, specially Pistolar's car - made the ground shake. Intrigued who the special guests are.

I can bring my db meter on sunday if needed.

mine hit 128db, when in full chat with straight thru pipes! dont think you can get louder than that! we'll see!

That's the whole idea

Mine would disappoint in the noise dept.

Power numbers what count!

bummer...I have to get away sharpish on Sunday to pick our own little Growl (aka Buster) up from the kennels!!!

[FlipFlopGriff]

I have got some runs out from last years Growl (from Gaydon but that is only down the road). If anyone wants to go then just get a group together and off you go. No formal groups have ben arranged. i would say keep it below 10 cars otherwise you'll struggle to keep together.

It might be fun to have a Saturday am hoon for those staying Fri night? Alternatively perhaps one in the pm before the BBQ/ale kicks in !!

Cheers
