Castle combes rally day is earlier this year on the saturday 18th August
whos up for it,and i wont book a holiday this time

Andy

I'll try and not book a holiday either  ;D
Please pencil me in  :D

Put us onto your list, is it possible to have no rain this year ???

Will have to let you know Andy as it's my 20th wedding anniversary on the 15th and that will be the closest Saturday. Wendy might not fancy a day at a wind-swept and probably damp race circuit by way of a 'celebration'.  ::) ;D *Can't think why? :D)

Simon

20 Years. That is a long time. I assume 131's featured in your wedding.

I only let my wife know about my 131 fascination, after we got hitched in 2001. You know the sort of thing, stopping to photograph 131's when on holiday, that type of thing. She soon realised what she had done  :D ;D.

I suppose for a wife and mother there are much worse things for a husband to be involved with  ;D :o. Especially one that likes Motorbike Racing  ;) ;)

However, I can see the nods of Forum Members  :-\ :'( :-\ The monetary side of 131 ownership (potential in my case) doesn't always sit well  :-\ :'( ;D

Yes Rob,

131s have always featured in the life I have with my wife - in fact it was her mother who loaned me the money back in 1987 to buy my Series 3 2000TC Super XPE613Y after the demise of my first Sport, so everyone was clear from the start! ;D

I have a picture of me on my Wedding Day in my Top-hat-and-tails taken stood in front of my black Sport JPD969V outside the church - the car wearing ribbons - I'll post it up if I can find it to scan it in!  ;)

I only ever get trouble from the wife if my 131 related purchases affect my ability to meet essential day-to-day costs.  ;)

Hi guys is there any updates on whos going before i sort tickets or do people

Andy

Hi Andy,

Andy

I thought it was on 30th of June this year?  ??? ???

Theo, the June event is Action Day and not Rally Day - they're different. ;)

Doh  :-\  I really ought to give my one surviving brain cell more exercise if I expect it to serve me to a ripe(r) old age....  :-[

Ok, with brain cell awake I now know it's on 18th August. I better make sure I can still make it  8)

Looks like a good day guys - Wish it wasn't so expensive to ferry across the Irish sea as Castle Combe isn't so far from the port.

Thanks for the pics.  :)
