Hi Greg,

Here is a rough list gathered from the two related "B&SR" threads and direct emails:

TVR Griff x 6
TVR Chimaera x 4
TVR V8S x 1
TVR 400SE x 1
TVR Tuscan x 1
TVR T350 x 1
Lotus Elise x 2
Lotus 111R x 1
Ultima x 2
Noble x 1 (yours!)
DeTomaso x 1
Porsche Boxter x 1
Vauxhall VX220 x 1
Dax Cobra x 1
Ferrari x 2
Saab 9-5 Aero x 1
E-Type Jag x 1

And there may be some more I don`t know about - the above list of attendies varies from "maybe if the weather`s good" to "definate"

Those Griffiths are so common!

Looks like a great line up Ian. Really looking forward to it, as is the lady friend! (it will be her first trip in the Noble!!)

Sad to say that I saw a rather poor weather report this evening for Sunday. Bt fingers crossed, its a bit early to forcast IMO!!

It didn`t look too good did it, but let`s wait and see It`s fair to say a proportion of those cars won`t actually make it going by past events (but doing that count for you surprised me actually - if they all came I`d have to print some more info packs!) but should still be a healthy quantity

Fingers crossed for good weather.

The report for Hunstanton www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=3054

The report for Cambridge
www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=1413

The report for London
www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml

Can anyone explain how there can be such a difference over 100 miles on a daily forcast??

Maybe God is a Petrolhead too!!!

Hi Greg, I can tell you it is pouring in Hunstanton as I write this which just slightly contradicts your weather links! Those 5 day forecasts are always wrong (and on BBCi)

Check out the forecast for Cambs on your link for Sunday - bright sun it shows and then advises of poor visibility

I will do a thread on here around 7pm tonight (and email all) after the evening news but I think we are looking at the reserve date of the 24th unfortunately

Hmm, the MET Office site says cloudy on SUnday and weather.co.uk says showers in the afternoon.
If it is going ahead on Sunday you can add a Spitfire to the list of attendees.

A few showers should not be a problem. I am happy to go if there will be a few showers. Do you think a lot of folk will not turn up if it is not bright sunshine??

Will you leave it till the Sunday morn to make the final decision?

Shame to cancell this weekend.

It`s touch & go I reckon depending on which weather forecast we go with! I know a couple that won`t come if there is any chance of rain! Can you make the reserve date if it`s used?

Reserve date is a bit dodgy to be honest, but maybe possible.
Oh, and everyone has to promise not to drive too fast as my bro's worried his Spit is going to be very outclassed!

Edit - BBC Norfolk has just said Sunday will be dry and bright with showers moving in later.

Clear according to Metcheck.com

I have football in the morning then the town game kicking off at midday.

What time will it be going on until? I don't think I could get there until late afternoon even if I go straight from football.

I could make the 24th though.

ChrisF1 - the more the merrier Chris, it`s looking like the rain will hold off until evening, just check out times etc

Muncher - I reckon we`ll be at Sandringham by the time you get over (3 ish onwards) if you make it - your call!

Purrfect - you didn`t put your name down on the list and don`t mention the Picasso on these pages , will that be a Renault Coupe doing the B&SR?!
