I'm quite nervous about tomorrow. I know the Lotus boys will want to stuff me in a 250 bhp VX and I wan't to put up a good fight. And there are some really good drivers going tomorrow. Oh, and Cheeky. I'm gonna spend the whole day on the grass. Cheeky: I'm going to be joining the M1 J19 at around 7:30 tonight. Where and when are you meeting everybody else?

slight change in plan chaps Partridge is picking my dad up at approx. 6pm from East Birmingham as he is going past. We are meeting at Trowell Services between j25-26 at 7 (given traffic). Si - Are you on your own? What time you leaving now? Street - OK, give us a buzz when you join the M1 and we might wait for you

heres the warning that has been posted by the met office! Current warnings: ADVANCE WARNING OF SEVERE WEATHER Here is an ADVANCED WARNING of Severe Gales and Heavy Rain affecting Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales. Issued by the Met Office at 09:29 on Friday, 9 January 2004. This is the first warning of disruption due to Severe Gales and Heavy Rain. The Met Office is expecting a very energetic weather pattern to become established across the Atlantic for the next few days, with disturbances running eastwards having the potential to develop into very intense depressions, bringing heavy rain and storm force winds. Winds could gust to more than 70mph, which is enough to cause structural damage and bring down trees, whilst there is a smaller risk of gusts 90 or 100 mph bringing widespread disruption to transport and danger to life. At the same time, heavy rain will add to that already fallen to bring a risk of local flooding. At this stage it seems that southern parts are most at risk from the strongest winds, with Monday being the day on which the most intense depression will occur. However, there is a more general risk of severe developments in the wider period from Sunday through until Wednesday, and both central and southern parts of the UK are at risk from the heaviest rain, whilst snowfall could be a hazard for northern parts of the UK, especially on Tuesday. Transmitted by the Met Office at 09:29 on Friday 09 January
