So its a no for me too.

Now that is just showing off Joe!! Even our Lesley and her man David would not bring 2 cars (they have 3 Alfas to choose from)
It will be a cracking weekend regardless

I like to be at the back of a convoy not front ... last time I was upfront .. my boost pressure sensor went ...it was up a hill with others following .... * the shame.. head hung low * ....
*the lorry at the side of me was going faster than me  *
But I live to tell the tale ...

I am driving the Cup the week before to France and Belgium for Spa Italia so I think we both may need a rest rather than fight the wind, the rain, the hail, the drizzle, (snow !!) that will be lovely Scotland at that time of year.

I book the weather as well mate, it's never let me down yet Last year it was glorious sunshine the whole weekend, year before rain on day 1 for a couple of hours then glorious sunshine. Just look at some of the pics from previous years for proof.
May day weekend is always scorchio
