Not the first show I been to and shown at so not really about that, but is the first time in the new S1. I picked her up form J13 of M1, Silverstone only being 2 junction further up, so I know she'll be fine for that, but never queued with her for large ammounts of time like you always get at Trax.
And only had her 3days so although she's been fine, obviously I don't know first hand her reliabilty....
So what precautions to take?
The fan is on a switch so I can operate whenever I want, ie sitting in trafiic or slowly moving. Got a 5litre bottle of water jsut in case tho...
Tools wise I think I pretty much covered it - full aray of sockets and ratchets, spanners, screwdrivers (well only one, but it's Snap On so you only need one
), knife, cable ties (greatest thing ever
) cutters, etc, etc. Torch, jack and wheel bolt thingy....
Is there anything else I should be taking? Not really got a lot for her in way of spares - packed some screws, bolts, washers etc in case summat comes loose, but not a lot in way of replacement parts - guess you can't really anyway cos not as if you know whats gonna need replacing.....
Any other tips?
(No, not got AA cover
Keep meaning to but not done it yet)

Can't do it now, cos with both AA and RAC you can't use it for 24hrs after you join, so wouldn't work 2morrow anyway 
Jsut gonna have to chance it. Going up with 2 mechanics anyway
