@ WF = Ideally the pipe would go over the air box outlet so that it can be clamped. If you do want to put it inside the airbox bring some silicone sealer with you mate.

@ Danny = If you want to warm your toes in my caravan (or anyone else for that matter) your more than welcome.

@ Tom = The very fact you own a balaclava like that worries me

@My laning group = I always travel with a gas stove and kettle/teabags/sugar and obviously water. If you want brews on the day please bring your own mug with you and if you want coffee bring some of that too.

@Stevd = Obviously if you need any bits give me a bell - but that code is deffo vac related.

I think I have some silicone sealant in the shed somewhere as I was going to run a bead round the top of my air box so I'll bring that too !

@ Tom = The very fact you own a balaclava like that worries me

I think the balaclava is left over from his sheep worrying days :D it's the fact the picture is a little blurry making me think he is shaking something with his other hand which is more worrying :D

I just picked me up 2 shackles and 2 five meter straps all for the grand total of a tenner :dance: winning!!

I'll have silicone with me as it lives in the boot :D

I don't have time to get any flexi pipe to do the air intake so it's gonna be a standard one :(

24 hours and we will be there :D

Nice one, where did you manage to get those for a tenner from? Are the shackles rated?

Right car is now 'fixed'. I am not touching the little ~~~~~ until tomorrow!!!!!

Just need to find everything to take now. Has anyone come across any great offers on booze in the supermarkets?

Do we still have 10 cars going?
