Burgers anyone? 
Just to let you all know that I will be bringing along the BBQ n stuff for tea/coffee as that went down well at Moffat. I was thinking that as we will be there early in the morning that bacon rolls might be a plan as well?....all for a small fee of course! So bring your change n a mug and I will do the rest! 
|
great idea Issy  i'd love a bacon roll and a burger or two, thanks for offering to cook for us

Thanks for the offer Ian but its under control I have a portable gas BBQ which is fine and I will be shopping at costco for the stuff. I will be bringing bacon, burgers, rolls, juice, crisps, tea & coffee and Cambell will hopefully bring the wee gas stove and a kettle. All you need to bring is some change and a mug and anything else you want.
(oh and some good weather )

Fingers crossed for good weather as I dont want the car getting all dirty. When I was at the show last year we had to drive the cars up a track to get into the show ground. I imagine if the rain keeps going it will be a bit of a mud slide into there. 
I will bring plenty change to help the BBQ along. Looking forward to this.

I'm off to the pub today cos it's raining, will give mine the once over tomorrow. the interior and engine bay need a good going over. |
I've used the time wisely, Going to a wedding reception tonight and got friends from Newcastle coming to stay at my house, so I cleaned that instead. It doesn't give you the same satisfaction tho !! Once they burger off tomorrow, I'll get in aboot the car, rain or shine !!

Well, after a late night last night, my hangover was repaired with a massive breakfast in a cafe in Leith (superb), my thoughts came to cleaning the car for tomorrow. What was that noise outside ? ( it was peeing down)
I'd resigned myself to looking a twit by washing the car in the rain as there were some marks I had to get off. Got home, 10 minutes later, the rain stopped and I was out with my bucket and sponge. Managed to get it cleaned and waxed. I even managed to do the interior. I was just taking the last of the wax off and guess what ???? At least I know I have done a good job, I was gonna take pics of the beading but my neighbours think I'm daft enough and wasnt going to stand in the rain, taking pictures of the rain on my car.
So, all set for the morning, see you all at Newbridge behind Micky D's. Looking forward to it.
