*** Safeway meet before Japfest ***

[Brind]

Just a quick question,
Are all the cars on display parked on the grass???
Just wondering incase mother nature turns against us and trys to ruin the shoes.

Not sure mate, apparantly some areas are grass and some concrete. Have managed to borrow a small gazebo INSERT INTO post VALUES (but only 5ft square I believe) that we can shelter under. Unfortunately the weather ain't looking too clever either :mad:

[Brind]

Oh, if it does r**n INSERT INTO post VALUES (don't say the word) at least we have 4WD to get out if we do get bogged on the grass.

[chris g]

IIRC from prev MR2DC visits, our area is grass

I think, looking at the map that all/most of the shaded areas are hard surface and the white areas are grass

Od course the track is tarmac but white on the map so we will just have to see if my memory is correct

Of course for my track time I would not mind some precipitation - see how I managed to avoid saying rain in that sentence

Would be fun to see others venturing out in the, well I've said it once I might as well keep saying it, rain apart from thos blody Evo's

Surprisingly, at the Ring the Scooby's, when they are there, tend not to go out in the rain.

You would expect them to love it but no they stay in car park or bugger off somewhere

As far as Evo's go, apart from very fast, there are few at the Ring when I have gone, fewer than Scooby's so I do not remember if they go out in the rain

Now I am going for the record - If it rains at CC then I will go out in the rain but the rain may spoil the grass and our shoes apparently, and the rain may limit the crowd and the rain may spoil the camera shots of my car out in the rain, but then as they say, in the rain, it never rains it pours


Is that a rain joke, or is that a rain saying.

By that I mean is that a sentence with rain in it and referring to rain as the main theme.

So rain is the noun, rain is the verb and as we seem to be saying, rain is the enemy - at least to someones shoes

[Brind]

He's done it now....:rolleyes:

Wetsuits and diving gear are now on the list of things to bring.

18 times!!!

[chris g]

So....Brind, how long has rain affecting your shoes been a worry to you?

You can trust me, I'm a Psychiatric Nurse, so, go on, tell me.

I'm used to dealing with rain and shoe issues

Better still, shut up and just bring a big pair of f'in wellington boots!

I have found castle combe on the aa route planner, but where abouts is the safeway car park ?

if i can get up early enough to get there by 8.30 INSERT INTO post VALUES (driving from mid wales) i'd like to meet at the safeway car park aswell

it would be great to see all these VR4's in a long convoy

[Spirit]

landy - full directions are given in the first post of this thread mate.

Brind - I would suggest going barefoot mate and then no shoes can get damaged....lol !

Rain ? Who cares. I for one intend to have a damn good time no matter what, but I do hope the weather holds out so the crowds turn up - and of course their is the little matter of the FA Cup final ! But so what, it's the first Club VR-4 meet and it's a moment in VR-4 history in the UK, and we are all part of it !

I'm traveling for just over 2 hours myself, and to be somewhere for 8.30 in the morning is a micracle in its self according to my track record.
Just don't bother asking chris g where Safeways is, because although he is a Psychiatric Nurse he likes to take huge doses of Temazepam and bounce off the padded walls which is why he has trouble telling the difference between Tescos and Safeways.

Remember im bringing the telly, providing Maplin get their asses into gear and send me the invertor..

[Spirit]

Maplins, OMG you are in trouble ! LOL

[chris g]

So...Brind is either bringing wellies or coming barefoot

And the competition for the day is....

..... to be first to spot the sad git on site who has brought a small telly to watch the cup final

And of course to spot and count in Brind's luggage the number of pairs of shoes he has brought...just in case it is good weather and he has the opportunity to do the 'shoe catwalk'

[Brind]

LMAO!

[chris g]

So... the Posse is quite a crowd...

...we have someone with a rain and shoe problem, someone who cannot tell the difference between Sfeways and Tescos, and a sad git who is bringing a telly to watch the cup final at a car show/track day

Definitely quite a 'special' crowd to be associated with

And by the way Brind, it was ages ago that I visited the area, last Aug at least so I am allowed to forget the name of the Supermarket.....at least that's what my Supermarket Therapist said when I phoned him a few minutes ago

And by the way again Brind, I have never used Temazepam or needed any other meds as the treatment given by my Supermarket Therapist always helps me to relax

I count supermarket trolleys to ease the confusion I have and to get off to sleep

[chris g]

See... you've got me so upset that I cannot even spell Sfeways now

Next you will have me unable to spell Tescoes

[Brind]

You started it. :arse:

[BraindG]

now now chilren :nono:
