Just a note to say I got the email and we're planning to be at the meeting in the Spitfire. (proving run, fingers-crossed  ;D)

If anyone is coming up from the south, avoid the Newbury area as it's the Newbury show this weekend and the roads around there can be absolutely rammed.

E-mail addresses in 4 groups. I sent out the e-mail to the main entrant, sort of thought that he/her would send it onto their crew.  There are about 270 people taking part in the RBRR.

Please communicate with your crew.

but Tim my 'crew' is Katie   trying to communicate with her sometimes is like trying to communicate with mars ..that's why she aint coming to the drivers meet ..just me

[GreenV8Machine]

I think NASA communicates with mars far more often!

Thanks Carl, I normally would have done M4, A34 so gone right past the showground, I'll look out for you on the way up, not sure yet whether to take the GT6 or the modern.....

Great meeting place - really interesting museum and being able to get so close and intimate with the exhibits was a pleasant change.

Not sure what the assembled lines of polishers thought about the motley collection of RBRR cars which was the first thing most visitors saw as they drove in, but we were simply the modern counterpart of the amazing rally cars in the museum. I would have loved to have been driving the A40(?) on the rally from the Arctic Circle to South Africa - that must have been an amazing adventure in those pre-GPS, satellite phone days.

We set off bright and early, :) though we did not get to Gaydon due to the windscreen shattering into lots of piece's near cambridge :( bloomin crappy roads!!!
so cleared the broken glass out of the car and set off home with no screen, good job we had blankets in the boot to wrap round while driving, found at 50mph to much buffeting, but at 70mph alot better, except when it rained, was like someone was sticking pins in your face ??). got back to the garage and put a tempory screen for now, will order a laminated one on Monday ;D

David.

P.S. glad it happened to-day and not on the RBRR :)

Oh no, you wouldn't want that, no !  ;D

On a serious note, if anyone else still has one of the old toughened glass windscreens fitted, you really should consider changing it for laminated.
