Yeah right,we arrived at 12.15 and gates weren't open,waited till 2.00pm to be told due to the rain(doh)we have to shift indoors,friggin hell they had shitloads of warning about weather.The forklifts were going double time trying to shift warehouse out at 12ish,they had finished about 3.00 or so,then told all start at 4.30pm(at 2.00pm),got to 3.00pm to be told it starts at 6.oopm,got updated times and thought stuff this,wet cold time to go.All that was happening was people getting pissed at 2.30ish.gents toilets full of ladies(wtf using mens bogs aint pc,imagine if guys did that).

Sounds like the mission was similar,they had people waiting in the rain for 3 hours and then pulled the pin,they should've done it at noon,they knew the performer wouldn't play,and the excuse was safety,bullshit it was unsafe at noon with the rain,so it sure as shit wasn't going to get better come concert time.

Ditto for the mission, except there was no shelter at all. Cancelling the Mission concert early could have screwed their insurance if the weather picked up. A real bummer for everyone but that's life.

It was a bit of a comedy show though. Had a HB bus hired as an annual thing that arrived there at 1:00pm. in the raian(Not my call). Saw a new side to the Bro's family, a bit like outrageous fortune :but without the crime. I am pleased we baled early. Got the caravan home in 2 hours. (30 mins. late)

Gotta feel for both organisers really,great weather up to 2-3 weeks ago for saturdays,then the last couple have been crap,hope it is fine this weekend relay 4 life is on,so that is needing fine weather for all the people involved.

Hopefully it is fine,but who cares the opening survivors walk is good,might have my mum,daughter and me on the survivors walk,all had cancer to various degrees,bloody genes.

Funny you should say that I knew someone who had claimed to have been abducted by aliens, said they'd seen the engine room. I asked them if they could get me one like it for the Terrano as it may be more fuel efficient

Here's another one which shows the pins in my hand, I took it at the hospital yesterday. It's healing well and I should have them out in 3 weeks they say

Might have to have a borrow of that if I could. What was the test conditions? Did they say how far they got on each tyre?

I'd be a little surprised if they mentioned any wear rates.

Apparently Michelin have a new tyre out that triple compound, it was developed for the new R1. I think (but don't quote me) it might be called the Pilot Power One.
