Hi

Is the weekend just a bloke thing, or are wives and girlfriends welcome and go as well?

Just felt the need to reply as I was tipped off about this post.

Sadly this is the first year I won't be attending since I helped start the whole thing back in the billing days in the 90s. I'm happy to meet a few of the guys for a drink but I won't be at the show.

Hope it all goes well guys.

Is it wrong that I keep having dreams about going to CraP? The last one wasn't pleasant, my car got fork lifted off and I think I had a punch up with Glyn. :?

In the old days there were good pranks. And not forgetting there were indeed some fantastic punch ups and arguments when the :beer: got going.

Wasn't our Nigel told to "£&@" off" by a host?

But I don't think me and you rich would have a punch up.
Is vix going?

I think Dave was given some harsh words by the cyclist king last year, that was funny. Does anyone know if we are sharing the field again this year?

I am hoping to be able to come say hi again at some point over this weekend. Will try to arrive in something Ford flavoured that can actually get into the field this year (If I can get it finished!)
