Thank you for thinking of us.
Obviously I can't speak for the others, but in my case it's an easy decision to make because Dunton is significantly further from home than Brooklands. In addition, Brooklands was announced first and time off from work was booked around that event. In an ideal world I'd have loved to have gone to the Dunton event, and probably would have attended both events if they were either on consecutive days or separated by several months. Two long distance events on consecutive weekends would be too much for me. Therefore, for me, it's one event or the other and Brooklands was selected for the reasons stated previously. If it rains on that day, sure I'll probably be disappointed for a while. However, the world will continue to turn and life will go on...

Got a letter today to go into hospital on September 6th for a small op on my old boy Obviously sticthes will be involved so driving, sitting and standing for any period of time will be somewhat uncomfortable for a few days, so really my decision has been made for me.

As Andrew, Dunton is way to far in one day, and I have a family commitment that weekend anyway.

Hopefully both events are a success, it stays dry and everyone has a good time.

Sorry to hear about that Andy. I hope everything goes as planned with the op.
Don't worry about not going to Brooklands. Word on the street is that somebody there might be taking some photos. You won't miss a thing!

Jason mate, you know the phrase 'uncompromising position' that has appeared in this thread, well ...
The Red Arrows are at an airshow in St Loius (yep St Louis in America) on 8th September so it looks like you need to dust off the dambusters march cd

Love the words .

Imagine there's no pinto
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no pinto, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us ( this part for the V6 owners )
And the world will be as one .

Will be amazing after the song Mr Steve comes on stage then talks about the Pinto Engine .

Can’t wait .

Sorry to hear Andy and shame you can't attend; there'll be other events in the future though. All the best for the 6th and your recovery.

I'm going to try and make one or the other or even both if I can (only been able to make 2 shows this year, so making up for that fact). Catch up soon.
