I still haven't packed yet, haven't washed or cleaned the Hatch, haven't fixed the problem with the motor running like a hairy billy-goat, having trouble with the driver's window AGAIN :furious:

, haven't finished respraying my wife's glove-box to take for some signings, haven't finished transfering some of my old vinyl records to CD format so I can listen to my 60's & 70's music for the drive...............

BUT I have my supplies ready for the trip up to Newy

After a 4 day drive from west to east... There is no way I will be sitting in the car for a drive back down to Toranafest, so, sadly we will be a no show but look out next year.

I hope everyone has a great time and there is plenty of photos taken and shown for everyone who isnt attending.
