I'm off again, taking the ITV1 crew, essentially the same presenter and camera man as last year, but he's not dressing up as the Rev Bob. My brother is going as the offical photographer for Conrad and Redline magazine.

Can't believe Reverend Bob won't be going, the Big Man Upstairs needs an ear to the ground, a finger on the pulse, Bob on the job even... steady!

Arkham,

I will be there on the sunday just before kick off (as it were) about 2pm!

Do you have a car number, or will it be obvious which car it is (will it be the only black boxster with aero?)

Either way, I will try and look you up and have a chat!

Is it possible to get a list of the cars which are entered from anywhere?
I would like to find out what delights await!

Have a good one everyone.

Shame Rev. Bob shall be absent. I have a video of last years footage as shown on M & M on Sky, some of the quips Rev. Bob comes out with are classics.

Best Regards

MOD.

Rob Hallam who plays the good Rev is my co pilot, and most of the time he's funnier out of character....He's just not getting dressed up.

NOOOOOOO! Is there no hope for British TV on a Sunday night any more? Mind you, I s'pose you can look on it as a promotion from the Big Man Himself

I presume from your first sentence that you mean, your Mum has moved to Nerja? I thought her place was near Banus? I'n next back out there in November for a quick weekend, then again at New Year. let me know if you're out there then.

.... and, while we're at it... what happened to the sleep over beer and barby that we were all going to have in your mum's garden/field?

Good luck on Cannonball... and... er... try not to cheat this time eh lads

As it happens I met a bloke this afternoon who is doing this, in a Diablo, then he's having a couple of weeks in Spain. He bought a window off me too!

500, no we won't cheat this time, and it's my dad who's finally given up his house over here to spend all his time there.

The lad in the Diablo (or one of them at least) is having a play at Silverstone on thursday along with myself and an SV to shoot some extra footage for the show.
