Hi Ian, I am pleased to hear that you are attending such a worthwhile event. The weather forecast for Sunday is supposed to be cloudy temperatures up to 20 C. With regard to vintage BMW, I have to empty it out first as we have been refurbishing our house and Angela has been using the BMW as a storeroom pending a visit to the local charity shop to make a sizeable donation. What she does not realise is that I emptied out the BMW last night into her car and it is now full and there is no room in the boot! In the Beemer I had to put the armrest down in the back so thet Keira would not be buried under a mass of bits and pieces destined for the shop when I went around a right hand bend in the road.

To be honest, I did not know that Steve was doing a classic car show, if he is, I will exhibit the BMW ! This will probably be the last time that I will be using the BMW as I want to turn it into a 50" Plasma 3D TV with a Bose sound system!

Regards,
Tom.

According to metcheck the weather varies. Yesterday Saturday was shown as wet, but today it shows it as fair. It reminds me of an old rhyme

Whether the weather be fine
Or whether the weather by not,
We'll weather the weather, whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.

Looking forward to meeting several TT'ers for the first time and mucking in with some ploughing and threshing. Proper job!!!

Expect to see four ploughing engines on the roads towards St Columb tomorrow (Friday)- whatever the weather. The weather forecasts are not consistent they seem to change dramatically every time I look at them.

I agree with you Charlie, the forecasts seem to lack a degree of consistency. However, I can guarantee dry weather between around 1130 - 1600 on Saturday as I carry a folding umbrella with me when I leave the car. This ensures that whilst I am walking around that it stays dry. It worked a treat at WESES this year. It rained all the way down from Ivybridge to Stithians and as soon as I got the umbrella out of the car it stopped and remained fine for the rest of the day!
