NeilM Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 Any of you lot attending next week?We will be camping in Silverstone woodlands from the weds evening. (Family fields)2 motorhomes. Flag pole 1 with a Yorkshire rose, vr46 and an Italian. Flag pole 2 with a Sottish solltair, Marquez and possibly celtic/Irish tricolour. If you spot us feel free to say hello and join us for a brew or a bevvy. Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 You're going to hoist an Italian up your flag pole? Maybe I'm old fashioned but I suspect there will be consequences. Quote
mikestrivens Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 Any of those flags could have consequences. Be warned be afraid, very afraid. Quote
NeilM Posted August 15, 2018 Author Posted August 15, 2018 Any of those flags could have consequences. Be warned be afraid, very afraid. Same flags been raised for years mate. At various circuits around the UK. Never had a hint of bother If anyone takes offence we are always willing to ha e a constructive debate about it. Although to be fair they would be better having it between the hours of 9 am ( just about compus mentos) and 11am when the Stella starts again In all seriousness though. Why would they offend???

Hoggs Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 I found it best not to plan and just bump into each other at a tea stand Quote

NeilM Posted August 23, 2018 Author Posted August 23, 2018 It's now absolutely pissing it down ....lolJust had possibly the best chinese curry I've ever eaten courtesy of drunken glaswegians. At least 11 cans of Stella into a heavy one.Lisa blathered after drinking pink gin all day.Lewis n Grace in charge of the music. Life's bloody good Quote
Gin Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Just down the road is an awesome biker / transport cafe: https://goo.gl/maps/TtxmKHb5JNE2We live not to far, so if you do pop your head in there, let us know and we'll come grab some food too! Quote

Â We would do gin but we are in motorhomes so stuck here now till Monday. Cheers for the offer mind Quote
NeilM Posted August 24, 2018 Author Posted August 24, 2018 Threw it down during the night.Weather looking iffy all weekend. Bought a Lorenzo hoodie for £30 moments after contemplating buying a rossi one for 60.... ever the Yorkshire man...lolHave a bit of a headache at present. Will need a Stella a calm the head n stomach by 10 I think... Quote
NeilM Posted August 24, 2018 Author Posted August 24, 2018 Tonight's update. On the gin.Stella has done a steller job but struggling now..lolRained heavyweight Quote
Martyn850 Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 I’m now reconsidering my attendance! A couple of hours ride in the rain followed by standing in the rain all day, to be topped off with a ride home in the rain isn’t appealing to me at the moment! Quote
NeilM Posted August 25, 2018 Author Posted August 25, 2018 Morning update.Sun's out. Cold though. Being a tough northerner. Silly bollox here has only brought shorts Qualifying should be good. My predictions for the front row are. 1 dovi. 2. Cal. 3. Marquez.I need a Stella Bumped into hodgy and Gavin Emmet last night doing a tv thing on the campsite. Seemed top blokes. Spoiled somewhat by over zealous security lads who pushed Lewis out the way. Words were exchanged and they agreed their actions were out of order Quote
rennie Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 The race has been brought forward to 1130 tomorrow! Weather forecast not good! Quote
Guest Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 We've had month's of seeing the interviews in the paddock with them all in polo shirts saying they were sweating their nuts off.....but today they were all in Winter coats. Wasn't much better at Silverstone 40 years ago in 1978.....I'm on the left! Quote
