thought i would let you all know
i have just checked with the organisers, newark is still definately on, they havent had the serious rain we have had over in harrogate, we are once again flooded
the roads are nearly 6 inches under water here

best regards

Haven't had the rain....???

My mate works in Newark and he said it chucked it down for most of yesterday, and I live 10 miles away and its standing water round here.....

Not that the organisers have a vested interest in people turning up regardless....

Take yer wellies....

its orrible up North. Im still planning on driving down tomorrow afternoon. Just got a roll of bin bags to weather proof holdalls etc! Have waterproof trousers and coat on standby. Mind you if it gets any worse ill have to get a wetsuit and outboard motor

Thanks for the feedback Marc.


There is one big advantage to having a Pinto when the weather is like this......... the underneath of the car is weatherproof

I live close to newark and it has been raining alot, but seems to be draining away quite well.

I will be there on sunday in my Subaru Forester 4x4 if anyone needs a tow off the grass

wonder if I should drive up in my landy in case yer Subaru Forester 4x4 needs a tow off the grass

Doubt the landy would get you all the way to newark certainly not as quickly as 227 bhp turbo
