What kind of time should I be aiming to get to Stratford for on the Sunday? Just thinking of parking and what time it all starts.

Hopefully being paid tomorrow so shall be working overtime (between working overtime at work!) to get the car sorted to be able to go up.

Any time early to mid-morning Toby

There's a whole racecourse infield to park in so no worries there

I'll be there both days although I'll be a bit later on saturday as I have a Doctor's appointment first

So you've walked 1000 miles already Jim

....you're going back to the specialists to have that Hydraflush drained and replaced with new liquid right

Drop by the supermarket on the way to pick up some Activa yoghurts too

That's so funny Malcolm

You never know as he comes across as a typical Citroen owner. In other words, he's a bit of a diamond

I'll ask him next time I see him! I see him as someone who might have an SM tucked away in his garage...

Yes, it's basically that Kev, to see how the human equivilent of Hydraflush is working. That human equivilent is lots of salads and a very sensible diet plus an Activa yogurt every day

So far, according to my human pressure gauge, my hydraulics are getting sorted out nicely. I'm watching a good fall in my blood pressure on a daily basis now. I was 140/69 this morning. Still a bit high but the diastolic is coming down nicely and these values are appartantly not too bad for a person of advancing years such as I. I just need to work on the systolic now.

Im going to be making a move in about half and hour. Hopefully I'll be moving in the opposite direction of all the grockles

Would someone be so kind as to bring along a sphere tester as I would like to see if my fronts need regassing

Have a great trip Kev and looking forward to seeing you tomorrow

Yep, you'll be well against the flow so should be OK. Just keep off the motorways

I always find this time of year that better overall progress is made by travellinmg along secondary routes. Actual speed may not be huge but at least you keep moving

Would probably have turned up as it is a long weekend and I have nothing else planned but the car is still in the hospital for sick Citroens.
Using the 306 or the SAAB for work but they are both going away for the weekend, relegated to Shanks' or the bus.
Would have been nice to meet up with some new faces, as well as the old ones.
