MG Midget and Sprite General - MIDGET50 - wooohooo

Well, it's so very soon that my parents have been seen around the Borders acosting poor Midget drivers to make sure they are coming!

The weather forecast according to the Met Office is for sunny intervals, and about 17C, with showers on the Saturday.

Various other sites are showing anything from glorious sunshine to heavy rain - so, as ever in the UK, be prepared for everything and anything as it's bound to happen :)

It was rather weird yesterday as I was up at Burghley dropping off some cones and things, and stood just next to the house looking out thinking that the next time I get chance to stand there, there will be somewhere about 700 (or more) Spridgets stretching out and wearing their PINK rally boards and balloons and it'll be a hive of activity.

(thankfully yesterday it was a nice peaceful day with the deer grazing in the background .......)

Couple of little requests:

Please bear in mind that there are people out there who do not like cars as much as us, and it'll be early on a Sunday morning, so respect the speedlimits and don't rev too loud on the way past the houses.

We know you're excited - we are too (in amongst every other emotion known to man!) - but remember you're in cars, and act accordingly - this does NOT mean running over the marshalls feet :)

Be patient - loads of cars/tradestands/displays take awhile to organise, so, if you get there and there's a queue - be thankful that that means there's lots for you to do - there WILL be people to push you if your car breaks down sat waiting :)

Drive safely - and looking forward to seeing you all - and it's gonna be FAB!!!!!!!!!!

PS - if you happen to be in the Borders and see my parents approaching - RUN!!!!!! They'll only be chasing you to make sure you've got your tickets ;) I've trained them well :)

Lol too scared!!! They are sorting out for the visit of the landsendtojohnogroatsrun people so you should be safe!

The oft-forecast rain should hopefully not hit us in the east until later on Sunday :)

Good luck to those entering the Autosolo.

Safe trip all and see ya Sunday :)

Rachel,

Is the event supporting any charities?

Yes Guy - it's for the Air Ambulance - a very useful and suitable charity as they are often called in for Road Traffic Accidents :)

So no, not the Rachel's benevolent fund ... :P

They will be bringing their own marque, and also, unless it's busy, so, hopefully :) - the Air Ambulance helicopter will be paying a visit and landing on the Burghley House Ha-Ha
