That's cos they closed the M40 at J12 last year... It was total gridlock!

Its as short as it is long for us to go m1 or m40, I tend to take the m40 simply because that's the route I use when I need to go to work near Heathrow.

Anyway, due to the unique way the Talbot is powered AND the sadly uniform way the motorway network is covered in roadworks, I would imagine we are looking at a 4-5 hour trip including comfort breaks.

So roughly, our ETA at woodlands would be 3-5pm depending on what time we get up.

Just one last weekend of events to attend at Cadwell Park this Sunday and then have to start getting the car cleaned for Silverstone.

Tom, will you be doing the tickets the same as last year, Special Delivery and pay you at Silverstone?

They're all here!



Will be posted out first class tomorrow, except for those that have requested that I bring them down with me.

Not long now!

Hi Phil, I can send yours special delivery if you'd prefer? Otherwise they'll go first class.

Cheers,
Tom

Great, any idea where our plot will be this year? Let's hope it's on the grass again, that was better than the tarmac I thought.

Here you go Jonathan:



We're in Zone 13 (large grey area), which I think is mostly grassy.

Fab, thanks Tom. See you and Lois next week.

[Philbar]

Thanks for the call Tom.

Zone 13 is I believe the Skylines and MX5's were last year... opposite the Brooklands hospitality centre.

I have been in touch with Kris since we are both taking motorhomes but they are not on electric hook up like Tommy and Anthony's vans. It would make sensetherefore for Kris and I to arrive together to ensure we can pitch up together. Since Kris's van has, purely for fuel economy, limitations to its top speed I can have an extra hour in bed and still arrive at the same time as Kris and Alison despite having further to travel. Kris' preferred meeting point is Cherwell Valley Services J10 M40 so I am going to meet them there at 2.30pm Thursday - that should mean we are at the campsite soon after 3pm. We can then meet with others on the campsite. I assume those arriving first will choose a similar location on the campsite to last year.

I wish it was just for fuel economy reasons 😂
