Good question, I'm not sure yet.
I was thinking I would get there early for Saturday but I could stay for the whole weekend. I'll see how things pan out.

I'll be there, hopefully in a Cav (or at least an older Vauxhall) this time. I am hoping to get out to a few meets with you guys next year.
Re: VBOA National Rally, Billing, Sat 12th / Sun 14th July 2
ill be there in the cav, but seeing as the forums and clubs i use most are not vboa affiliated, i dont know who i will be with, Ads
Re: VBOA National Rally, Billing, Sat 12th / Sun 14th July 2
don't know if it will be the cav or the novavan but i should be there sunday

I'll be there Sunday in Turbo #1 lurking on or around the Autobahnstormers stand. I'll also be writing a show report and taking photos for Retro Cars magazine. Looking forward to it.
