I set off early as the dark black clouds were looming – and saw lightening as I passed under the Orwell bridge – but I had a fine run up through the main roads - a bit hampered by slow traffic - just thankful the rain moved away.
I took up a position directing cars into the car park that had been set up - and of course had to direct the odd 'civilian' visiting the hall as well. I began to enjoy the legitimacy that a high-vis jacket gives you.
The first car arrived just before 12:30 then continued in dribs and drabs until about 70 cars had arrived. There were few early cars and I only spotted one Lotus although there was a S4 so that must have been old. They were mostly modern models but had all come far though with French, German and Swiss number plates and an odd collection of luggage solutions. Most appreciated was using the spare tyre holder for a retro suitcase.
Towards the end of the day we had reports of a crashed car so a party set out to look for it, but I had no more news.
I could hear thunder in the distance about 2:30 and the forecast said rain at home so I set off about 3:00 wondering what would hit me. I passed some Caterhams going in the other direction on the way home so they were very late.
No rain thankfully but I came home with no brake lights. Investigation showed an intermittent brake pressure switch. Hopefully I can get one at the show.
I added tools, some spare oil and bits and bobs, checked the oil and tyres and then put the cover on the car for tomorrow.
Let’s see how we get on !
