Pete, I know the feeling, try running two day to day
But the grin it puts on my face when I put my foot down is enought to make me forget it all

Hang in there, I am sure when the weather is better you'll have the bug again... It's that spring feeling, everyone feels a little down

hi just to let you know a few things..

1. There is a 4 car rule on site at any one time.

2. Your time slot is now shown on https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=188754

3. ANY MUCKING AROUND IN THE CAR PARK WILL MEAN YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM SITE. This is an M.O.D. site so you can be forcibly removed .. this will also be bad for all the rest of us as we will be asked to leave if this happens. If you want to warm up engines there is a nice bit of straight road close to the site.

4. Please try to arrive early as this will keep the day flowing smoothly.

5. There are 2 BP garages close to junction 3 of the M3.

Their website suggests they accept plastic Are you saying they don't and only accept cash ?
