Those are handy. I'm bringing some of my own stuff too, but I desperately need a new socket set. I got the wrenches and the bits, but it is a total mess and some sizes are missing (No. 13 only in 1/4" etc)

Update: i am giving up on the car. I will not be taking the DeLorean to the event.

My car sounds wrong at idling, and stalls frequently. It sounds like something is making contact there is a banging tak-tak-tak-tak inside the engine. I know very little about engines but it sounds like something is broken inside. #3 spark plug is seized in the block. I spend an hour working on the engine and after a small 5 minute test drive the engine stalled just in front of the garage and I wasn't able to start it again. with much effort I was able to push into the garage.

I'm not taking the D with me, I will be travelling with my boring car. I've talked with Arran and he extended my reservation so I can spend the Thursday evening, so if there are any more early birds i'm game.

Not having to worry about the car getting there allows me to enjoy the weekend a little bit easier, some things just weren't meant to be I guess.
