touring cars anyone? - Page 2

Tell ya what, Sarah - You borrow our tent, and we'll sleep on the grass!

Don't worry Craig. I'll get Sparky Junior to fend him off - she scares me, and I'm her Dad!

**Craig** · 5 Sep 2000, 21:51 (Ref:35184)

Sparky, don't offer - even in jest - you'll never hear the end of it. Then again, if we are unlucky enough to meet him again, we'll never see the back of him

Sarah, please don't bring him again - we were very polite last time, but if he were to carry on like he did at Snetterton again, I could see us falling out.

Carrie · 5 Sep 2000, 22:05 (Ref:35188)

Craig's right on this one. I for one did not appreciate standing watching the feature race and having beer bottles kicked at me by your brother.
Okay, so a lot of people had a lot to drink at Snetterton (I didn't), but at least everyone else there was pleasant company that night.

Sarah · 6 Sep 2000, 18:36 (Ref:35373)

Sorry I have to bring him as he is paying and I couldn't afford it otherwise, but he is bringing a friend so you shouldn't see them because they will probably be in the bar or passed out in the tent!

**Craig** · 6 Sep 2000, 18:54 (Ref:35378)

Oh, it gets worse - he's bringing a friend ? God help us

So, he'll be in the bar all day ? Right, i'll be bringing my own beer then, so we don't have to go in there.

Please do warn him though, if he tries to pester us again, he might get a suprise...

Invader · 6 Sep 2000, 19:15 (Ref:35382)

I'll bring my lightsabre....

Sarah · 6 Sep 2000, 19:15 (Ref:35383)

His friend is not as bad as my brother and they have both told me they will be in the bar. I have already warned him and my father had that if he acts like he did at Snetterton he will not be coming with me again.

WoodyTJ · 6 Sep 2000, 20:43 (Ref:35402)

OK Sarah . . . . .Your brother well I wouldn't bring him over to meet this lot again in a hurry! But i'm sure YOU (and only you) would be welcome.

**bella** · 6 Sep 2000, 21:09 (Ref:35414)

ok, sarah? what if we lose him?

Carrie · 6 Sep 2000, 21:28 (Ref:35424)

We tried to lose him at Snetterton, it proved to be Mission Impossible

Sparky · 6 Sep 2000, 23:26 (Ref:35456)

Mission Impossible... On the one hand, he looks nothing like Tom Cruise. On the other, we could easily hang him from the ceiling on cables!!

By the sound of things, Sarah, I'd keep 'Bro' well out of the way!

Lee Purnell · 7 Sep 2000, 20:18 (Ref:35569)

By all these comments Sarah, I should point out that no one has anything against you, just your noisey Bro

Look forward to seeing YOU there though

Carrie · 11 Sep 2000, 18:31 (Ref:36496)

Right now, I think attendence at Silverstone is going to be dependent upon the petrol situation

**Craig** · 11 Sep 2000, 18:36 (Ref:36500)

Carrie, as I just said on ICQ, if you do want to go, i'll sort out a way to get you there - one way or another... leave it to me. All you have to do is let me know

Sarah · 11 Sep 2000, 18:52 (Ref:36511)

I might not be able to make it to Silverstone, I have only got quarter of a tank of petrol and all the petrol stations in West Wales are empty.

Carrie · 11 Sep 2000, 19:05 (Ref:36517)

I'm not going to ask what sorts of methods you might be considering employing Craig

**Craig** · 11 Sep 2000, 19:19 (Ref:36528)

I have a bicycle which you are more than welcome to borrow...

Carrie · 11 Sep 2000, 19:41 (Ref:36536)

ARSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lorna · 11 Sep 2000, 20:48 (Ref:36552)

Am I glad I live near Silverstone. If anyone is struggling with petrol on the weekend, if they can get on a train to Milton Keynes train station then I can pick you up from the station. I filled up today and that will last me 2 weeks if I don't go into Aylesbury anymore. That offer is for Friday evening or Saturday morning.

Invader · 11 Sep 2000, 22:44 (Ref:36589)

If anyone is interested, I have just perfected my "matter transfer system".
It works in a similar way to the transporters on Star Trek but makes a slightly different noise....more like a weasel being garotted.
If anyone would like to test it out I'll be happy to oblige.
I tried it last night with a stray dog and Trude Mostue is currently trying to remove it's head from it's arse....should be okay by Friday tho'

Lorna · 11 Sep 2000, 23:01 (Ref:36592)

Sooooo.......... train anyone?

WoodyTJ · 12 Sep 2000, 07:56 (Ref:36660)

Will get there some how - thanks for the offer Lorna. Am hoping to get to testing on Friday . . . . . still ok to stop at yours??

jvilleneuve2000 · 12 Sep 2000, 08:12 (Ref:36661)

Does anyone know if there are buses on saturday to silvestone, from northampton?

**bella** · 12 Sep 2000, 18:23 (Ref:36779)

it's more likely to be called off than not.
i'm saving 50 litres in my tank for silverstone, so i'll be ok. if it's easier for anyone, i'll pick them up from cambridge station, or somewhere in between my house and silverstone......everything seems to be against me going to see races at the moment....

Lorna · 12 Sep 2000, 19:41 (Ref:36797)

Sorry, Carrie, have I beaten you to this? There is an article on Autosport site about Silverstone and the petrol shortage. Everything is going ahead as planned. They have made sure they have enough petrol in the circuit. Just have to rely on the teams to make sure they have the diesel to get there.

Yep, still okay to come to mine on Friday:-) I've got a bottle of wine in the fridge already ;-)
