Need to weld a new outside sill to get it through it's MOT but it is still raining.  I need some dry weather to complete the repairs as no room in the garage.  It is supposed to be sunny this week and it's still raining Arghhhhhhhhhh.

There is an outing to another hillclimb car meet called the Big One, see RR web site.  The tickets are on sale to camping ticket holders for a discounted price of £8.50 I think, might be an idea for the 126's to go as a pack.

Just managed to jack the car up to replace the outer cill.  Started hacking away to remove the rust, guess what I found a ton of filler looks like it is a bigger job than I had thought.  Need to see if I have time to cut all the rot out to MOT it and get it to RR.  Might have to cone in my daily driver.

Two and bit weeks. You can do it. We need you and your 126 to be there. Do not miss out on the momentous occassion of having a record number of 126s in one venue!

Cheers, bis13...can't wait, it'll be the longest journey I've done so far but I've done over 2,000 so far this year in the De Ville so hopefully I'll get there in time for your legendary fry up!  ;D
