Sorry to disappoint but there's something due Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday, Monday so there's no chance in hell I'll be able to come despite the fact that I'm really itching for a drive.

Nice, Ivor...! :mrgreen:

The forecast suggests a slight chance of showers in the morning, fining up as the day progresses.

Next Sunday looks a lot worse. So let's do this!

If I do get my AW a little damp I'll just blow-dry it by driving fast. :lol:

100+ MR2OCNZ runs and counting... When going hard, good rubber's your best protection against unwanted accidents. Buy good tyres!
When you're nearing the end of the drag-strip and you have no 'chute, you may as well keep your foot to the floor... Live life. There ain't no second pass. :twisted:

I don't know about washed, but just checked the Fluid levels in the Madaz 2!
Also threw in a piece of plastic Frunk trim for you.

It's all good Carl. I can remember some previous generations of run attendees that would have just driven off and left you there mate, cos they had better things to do or somewhere to be. I'm very glad the guys that attend these days are a lot better natured than that and are happy to stand around and enjoy each other's company while ensuring the crippled car and driver are going to be ok.

Hope you had a good time. :)
