you talkin a frostbite meet Matt? whenever I turn up people spend the weekend racing my poor car, don't think betty would survive! and peter wont be in good health by then.

did you get any sort of refund from last years debacle?

will be vice commodore this year in the boat club so car shows will be takin a back seat so to speak. meanwhile the work will commence on my three babies. :-X

don't think i'll risk it this year though! :angel:

Your too soft Neil! despite the flooding we were all still smiling!......at 4.00am in the complex. To think I bought a car especially for that trip!!

don't worry Dawn, everybody hates me and i'm still here to tell the tale. Most people are pretty easy to recognise to be honest.....a soft irish voice would pretty much single out frisco, the guy with a beer in one hand a bottle of car polish in the other would be Daz, i'm easy to spot with a lancashire accent, fat and probably mumbling about bricks, the man with a flash camera, most likely to be Andy, The guy who is always eating, Paul Rolfe, the man with large eyebrows, Rosco...... I'm sure some others can help me with polite descriptions?? ;D

I cant go because my blocks would jam in the rollers! plus isn't it a tad risky travelling best part of 200miles to thrash your car on a rolling road, what if something lets go? it'd be a long push home.

need a working car first!

cant see it being a problem Dawn, although after last year a canoe might be more use ;D

I'm sure your all worth a minor detour. At least my liver will be safe. ;D

what? even with me Steff?

so you dont want me banging on your window again in the night dressed in chains and a gimp mask? you seemed happy last time so why the change of heart?

calling me a tosser does make you a good judge of character, i must admit! would my missus want to come along? well the problem lies in the transport arrangements, 3hrs in beige betty makes that a firm NO!

Did Jo tell you to say that? Maybe i'll have to look towards wales to see if i can get an offer then

:D

tis a lovely car! i love the front end too, what spec is that? no snowplough spoiler, clear indicators etc

No! that was VW's and i suspect they pissed many people off in that era¬!

i'll go if Daz does, hey we could share a room bigboy? ;D

love the colour, what is it?

:-* :-* :-* :-* You love me really Daz! Dont you? ;D Oh and heres a C for you to insert in the right place. :-*

we were all waiting for you Daz to commit, before we commit :P

its tempting, but would betty make northampton again?

No worries, i wouldnt think any worse of them if they said no refunds as the conditions were way out of anyones control, flood control or not, the fact is as soon as they realised the conditions were potentially unsafe they acted and cleared the site and as far as i know no-one got hurt ( except Clara's finger), plus they did open the main centre as a refuge point. Things could have been much worse had they left it with the combination of high alcohol consumption and flooded tents.

i'll get me canoe then., will tickets be supplied on a like for like basis following this years washout. i didnt end up phoning through but i do have the booking paperwork.

reminds me of mine in 2001 when it had just been painted
