Only eight days to go until what looks to be the best national weekend the TRDC have ever put on. I will have a couple of copies of Steve Jackson's 'TR7: The Bullet That Backfired On British Leyland' with me so please shout if you do not have a copy of this excellent book yet - only £16.95 thanks to no postal fee from the Isle of Man. We hope to get up early on the Saturday and looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible over the weekend. And I can't wait to see the new museum too which is included in the entry price... plus the BL/BMC day on the Sunday. This is going to be MASSIVE!

Remember that only full length trousers are permitted for access to the museum.
There, that should smarten a few of you up even if I just made it up!

Weather forecast on the Beeb just now looks pretty good for the weekend. Just filled up and pumped the tyres up, hope it makes the 135 miles in the morning (and the journey back).
