At 17.00 Sunday 12 June situation was looking grim for some of the hardened regular early arrivals in the larger vehicles as the gates to the site remained firmly shut and heavily fortified.....
However, such dignitaries (!) as the Liverpool Boys had no such problems and were waived merrily through their entrance of choice and headed down to the campsite to begin their erections.......
But then after much scouting and recce missions (not to mention covert and prolific use of mobile phones) other ways and means were found to get on to the hallowed MB turf...and the rest of the usual Sunday suspects arrived slowly but surely, gab, Smokie, Popemobile and others..
MrRS2babe cleverly disguised the RS2 as a white French registered Peugot 205 to avoid any problems on entry to the circuit..it was close but he made it..
Award for cordoning off the highest ever percentage of the campsite must go to Ferrari Spider in preparation for arrival of JP Chenet and Cutler crews - if anyone is planning to arrive after tonight you'll probably have to pay them an extra admission fee because they'll own half the site!
Liverpool Boys highly organised and efficient as always and well close to having everything up and running within an hour of arrival - but then catastrophe..the generator gave up the ghost. A plug spanner was searched for in vain so an executive decision was made for a beer break to consider the options (and wait for someone to turn up with one!).
It was also learned/realised by a certain individual (who I'll save the embarassment of naming....yet) that as the camp site is closed until Monday it means all the bogs are too.................so all look very carefully when pitching your tents........
....and me..........I just delivered the swimming pool......
see you all v soon!!!!!!!!!!!
