I expect to see nice clean cars on the days, as following on from the Scottish event, there will be a couple of trophies for the best exterior, best interior and best engine bay, so get polishing

that means I'll have to get over to cowboys again to criticise something else under his bonnet!!!

Come on sunshine!

Clarkson and Co will be there

We might get an insight into what their plans for the Top Gear Fiat Coupe are then.

It had better not rain between now and sunday - just spent three hours on it and with my back that's no joke...

Nice work Neil. I'd wager £1 there will be a bird dropping on it somewhere before sunday

I think this may be it, I heard a rumour that the challenge was a concours event... could be the coupe has been given some treatment

Then again, the link suggests it is Alfa only... wouldn't be surprised if they binned the coupe idea.

what time are people turning up?

I'm aiming for nine-thirty, if I can pry Anita out of bed that early... Needs to be in place for the concourse at 1030 latest.

She's looking Neil - I can't wait to see her in the metal!

Mr L's just polished mine but looks like it'll rain later so better get them undercover! Also - cos the weather has been so crappy this week we've only had chance to do 2 of the wheel arches/callipers so you can only look at my car from the passengers side tomorrow!!!

Right, I've just finished giving the car a good clean and polish. I've used some of that Harly wax and I must say I'm very impressed.

As sure as eggs is eggs it will start raining in about 10 mins and not stop until about 5.30 tomorrow (or whatever time the show finishes).

Sods law is real!

James

Does anyone know what time gates open tomorrow? I've just cleaned the coop......shame there's a big scratch on her left bum cheek

The gates open to the public at 08:30

Bob

I've given my car a good clean inside & out.
I'm coming along with a mate & meeting Stevo at 9am, so hopefully i'll be there for about 10.

I'm kinda hoping there's be dozens of you there to give mine a final spit'n'polish

More seriously, did I see mention of a barbie? Should we bring sausages?

Neil

Looks like i'll be able to make this! Just picked up the car from having a full respray! My mate will also bring his GTA! See you all there, Mr C

I've given the coupe a quick clean, so will be tootling along. See you tomorrow.

Cheers Bob...... aiming to get up there for half nine ish

ill be there too guys

Is anyone taking a BBQ?

I have just packed the car and have not got any space left

Must be something to do having the Gazebo, table, three chairs, cool box, banner, brollies, coats, cleaning items and box of club shop goodies

Bob

Should I pack my oil filter tool too?

I've got a cheapy B&Q one in the shed - never put together and still in its box. I can sling it in the car if you like Bob.

James

Could do

Now where the heck am I going to buy food for the BBQ at this time of night?

Well I'll chuck the BBQ and half a bag of charcoal briquettes in the boot incase anyone fancies a go. I wouldn't like to start transporting food though 'cause I havent got a coolbox.

James

just to let you know, Jeremy Clarkson and James May are staying at the same hotel as Cowboy, Taffy20VT and TrevM!!

ha ha thanks!!!!!

you got a good filter tool?

ooh I'm definately coming now.

Bob - if your doing the BBQ can you put me down for a hotdog at 1100, 1230, 1400 and about 1700. Thanks
