165,185,205 - makes no difference to me - Just glad to see GT4's and peeps having fun at an event :-)

@Dale - here's a story for you .......... A few years back, when I used to do The Bubble Inn events there was quite fierce competition on who could get the most marques of car there, who got there earliest etc ........ Well, don't as how this came about but there ended up being a competition for the youngest baby there.....

..... It was won by a GT Four owner :-) Dad came in his four and Mum drove herself and baby in the family car............

...... She had given birth just 2 days before !!!!!! That's a true story, I kid you not and I have a pic somewhere to back it up lol

Congratulations mate :-)

Tho - What I think you meant to say was that you haven't had any sleep since 3:15 for the last 6 weeks hehehe.

Anyhow, be good to see you there, and even better with Mrs dale & jnr dale :-)

Easy!

Open boot. Place seat in boot. Close boot. Voila, the baby seat is in the car (you may have to fold the rear seats down :lol: )

6 weeks is getting on a bit though. Junior may not fit in the glovebox now :(

Have you considered a roof box at all :?: Plenty of room to grow into too :lol:

LOL - I was going to suggest the glovebox as well but deleted that bit before I posted hehehe.

If My sarah find's out that a 6 week old baby is going, you may not have to worry about a baby seat at all - Prob best to bring a crow bar and a couple of tow ropes to prise her away from said Jnr !

I just remembered as well that Nell is trying to persuade a local free-lance journalist in the village to do us a write-up and some pic's for publication in a motoring magazine...... Details will be finalised this weekend.

See, there you go ......... Another 1 Great 5 :-) There's just something about Wales and 185's !

Nice one Homer.

Are you trying to get the seat in the front or the rear Dale ? - We never had any problems with the grand-daughters seat that I can recall..... You might want to watch out mind - the little devil is only 4 years old and every time we go out in my four she shouts "Faster Grandad - FASTER" bless her.

For sure - I can confirm as Nell said that this will go ahead on Sept 24/25.

If I could have some idea of who is coming on what night so that we can plan the camping/BBQ etc it would help me out. Also, if your doing the Night Navigation run I NEED TO KNOW as Nell needs numbers of maps to prepare...... It might sound trivial but Nell put's in a LOT of Hours preparing these maps, and each Pre-Plotted route is done by hand.....

With that in mind - Bring it on :-) I can't wait ! Hehehe.

1) Homer (185)
2) Tim (185) - BBQ, Night Nav & Sunday Run.
