UKPinfest 2023 Hype thread

Van all packed - leaving early tomorrow morning and having an extra night to have a nice calm night and Thursday morning before all the excitement . Will take us about 7 hours if we are lucky . See you all soon 😀
I thinking about treating myself and using the toll road this time Ailsa. 45min Q last year but saved £7.20…. what a dilemma 😜

Last year was brutal driving down. I got caught in nose-to-tail traffic 5 times and was in the van for more than 13 hours to go from Fife to Daventry lol.

This year I'm doing Fife to Daventry, Daventry to London, then London to Fife... 😂

Not bringing a van this year, and I bet I see a machine for sale that I want haha!
 
After a very stressful few weeks wondering if I’ll ever get finished I can finally relax a little.
Albeit have to find some balls which I usually bin and sort the stands on the bottom with felt to protect any scuffing of where they placed.
Came out nicer than I expected so Very Happy with outcome and well worth the effort.

The curse of enterprise rental strikes again. After last year’s shenanigans I thought I’d pick it up the Luton this evening as not gonna cost any extra. It was a good start as they actually had a Luton for me this time in the yard which they didn’t have last year. Unfortunately someone had ripped the side rails out of the back of it so there was no anchor points. Currently they are hoping to get me a replacement by tomorrow lunchtime. This company are a complete joke. What should of been a leisurely morning tomorrow loading the pins and getting on the road won’t be 😤🤬

I’ll get everything to daventry though somehow
