I take it all back! Pod was flooded and people were struggling to get in and out of the fields... I've given up and come home. Last night was good though :)

managed the night with no sleep, got fed up at 4am so went and sat in mates car with some drink and carried on drinking, mates yaris got stuck in the field had to be towed out by security :( lol and decided didnt like the look of the swimming pool so when some mates who were up for the day said they were heading home i saw my chance to avoid trains etc to get home

Sorry didnt get to meet any of you really bar a few when in semi drunken state and then drunken state (though think that was mainly oc people)

Hmm.....it was a bit damp!

Met up with Stuart (Jaspa) Pete J and Jim GTS andmade our way there....drove through a few rivers en route... ](*,)
Had a coffee, jacket spud in the cafe on site, chatted for a couple of hours, braved the elements taking my 3yr old son to the oilet...and came home.
Ho hum.

Saw more MR2's coming out as i came in than i saw on site.... ](*,)

Oh well. Always next year! :mrgreen:

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Only photo I took of the day - I think Dave (oddshoes) caught quite a few.

I didn't see the honda as there is a much faster way back out to the A509 than the signposted one so I didn't go that way... Pete told me about it though, said it looked ruined.

I saw the honda!!! :shock: Whoops!!! That corner is well bad, bet he shat himself!!!!!!!

I managed only 2 runs on Saturday :( Gutted really!!! My first run i just sat on line spinning the wheel (2.5 0-60ft LOL)

Second run bogged down (2.2 0-60 ft LOL AGAIN!!!! ) that got me a 13.3 so on a decent day and a good start she should just pop a high 12!

All i wanted was one more run as i had figured out how to launch the car with the new clutch!!!

no sleep at all, tent leaked!!! Left at about 9ish on sunday soakin wet and pi$$ed off. Really shame as i was really lookn forward to this show!! O well next yr!
