Japshow Finale - Santa Pod.

yeah, 2 snapped drive shafts!

You are doomed to never set a good time it seems Maybe my suspension is cursed?

I've gone back to running rev 1 suspension for the strip.

I'll get it, just need to iron out the creases - and get a day when it isnt soaking wet or a 100mph head wind!

he was 3 cars in front of me in the queue and i was having a good chat with him - he was made up with his times and was loving his drag experience.

Such a shame, was a stunning car and he seemed a genuinely nice guy.

I know the weather wasnt great but i thought it was a shame that i never got to meet any people on the stand - came on the village to try and meet some of the community but it never happened, im not the best person for introducing myself - must try harder next time!

I did keep meaning to come and find you for a beer as you were one of the only people there I knew but then Dave dragged me off to the bar and the next thing I woke up in my car to the most depressing view ever, being woken up by someone's alarm that was chirping every time someone went near the car.

What a washout !!! I was there today but I was with my local club , I was lucky as I was on da concrete by da strip but believe me I felt really really sorry you all the Mr's stuck in da fields I walked (swam) down to the Imoc area to find ye had all gone
Hopefully the next one will be great see ya then hopefully

Yep it was great to see some of you guys, even if it was only for a few minutes, & true stars that they are Pete & reema kindly invited us back to their pad which was very cosy & warm & plied us with loads of hot coffee which i Just HAD to drink , glad we went on Saturday now at least we had a chance to experience the strip for the first time & see the Jet car.... that absolutely made my day , glad to see a few mk2's give a good performance on the strip & the only MK1 on there too, i think the biggest surprise had to be that really nice looking orange FTO which was actually VERY slow , the biggest shame had to be the guy who stacked his S2000, you had to feel for him, he looked totally gutted .
For those who may be interested either Reema or myself will start a post in the events section regarding the Flame & Thunder event at the pod on Nov 1st, looks really good & we will be going anyway, cheers, Jinx
