Is anyone going to the classic this year? Ade, Pete and I are on Woodlands campsite from Friday early afternoon if anyone fancies a beer or two.

Too close to Spa for us so I'm doing the WEC instead - and to be honest, I still prefer modern racing, no matter how lovely the Classic cars are. Would have been nice to hook up though. Have a good one.

I'm planning on being there next year. Hopefully on the other side of the catch fencing. ;D

Although I was only there for half a day, It was really good. I had a good chat with Lord Steve and Adrian (also their friend whose name I didn't get). Great cars and this year the added bonus of no traffic jams (at least for me anyway). I've also got sunburned!

Great weekend had by Adrian, Pete and I. Good to meet Gary with his totally groady Frogeye. What an excellent machine and my mate (Pete by the way Gary) has been spurred into action to get his Midget back on the road. Friday was damp and Woodlands was very wet but it all dried up on Saturday.
We were all a bit disappointed with the Group C boys on Saturday night - bit of a non-event procession.
Anyway, good news is that from 3rd Sept I'm employed again after a three month holiday since redundancy. The even better news is that my new boss has his own classics racing team running a Lotus Cortina and 3 litre Capri amongst other machinery.
Si - intrigued by your "other side of the catch fencing" comment about next year. Are you planning on racing?

I've just checked what groady means on the urban dictionary and none of the descriptions sound that good. However, I'm assuming that you meant it in a good way as in "Ratty".
I'm just not "down with the kids" like you steve ;D

Ha ha Gary!! I was using the "like, totally groady Dude" = excellent context.
Like a surfer describes the ultimate wave as "totally tubular", the Frogeye is totally groady. Have I gone off script a bit?
I liked it anyway!
