A couple of things to consider/help with

Bring warm clothes, a hat/jacket/umbrella, and decent footwear, that way we can largely ignore the forecast weather.

I'm aiming to get there about 0800 to put up a large tarp for shelter. It would be nice if some people could make it early too to help.

I'd like, if possible, to have access to a manual car to demonstrate some techniques. I won't be rolling/ smashing it or anything, but I can only demonstrate so much in a locked automatic car.

I'm happy for my car to be used as demonstration, it's manual, but still twin locked, not sure it that's good or bad for what you have in mind?
I'll also aim to be there early to lend a hand

That would do fine- your car makes everything look easy to that's perfect :D

I might want to use something less capable but it will depend on the weather and how your car goes. I'll sort it out on Sunday morning.

Thanks.

Everyone be prepared that you might be the guinea pig for a practical demonstration. As I've said we're not going to be damaging anyone's car or anything but a practical demo is often the best way to prove a concept.

Just confirming I won't be able to make it tomorrow. I'm stuck with my final research project for Uni :cry:
Keen to see pictures and reports back.

I only lock my car when I park it on the street at night or I'm at the supermarket but seeing as I know you guys wont steal all my tools I will probably have my car unlocked all day.
