Good old British weather means that in the middle of the summer is been training for the past 30 years

So if it's like this next weekend will you still be going?

Ofcourse we are going.
Would be a waste of all the money we paid for the ferry/petrol and hotel

If needed,we can get an umbrella.

But,with a bit of luck it will be very hot again like the last few years

We were going to go and have a long weekend but when we worked out the costs for us not worth it unfortunately, we were looking at ÂŁ100 on fuel, at least ÂŁ100 at hotel and then all the food and extras would end up near ÂŁ300 just to go to a car show. I'm gutted but can't justify the money at the moment :-( before we had a kid I wouldn't have thought twice lol!!
