Thanks for the pics so far! I'll try to upload mine this week (I was gonna say there aren't many as I wasn't in a photographic mood and my battery was flat - but there's 54!! :-s ) and put them on here... Well, some of them. We all know what MR2s look like after all. (No people photos from me this year unfortunately).

I absolutely loved the social side of it though. I hardly saw any of the rest of the show - though I'd never planned to as I really just wanted to see people I'd not seen in a while. In that respect it was ace. :+: I reckon it was the best JAE I've been to - out of the 4 I've been to so far.

Highlights for me? Getting lost trying to get to the MR2 Village (I'd been misdirected at the entrance), parking up in the show & shine car park where there was only one other entrant, and being told I could enter if I wanted... :lol: So I did, having made absolutely no effort at all. Unfortunately another car joined and entered... still at least I came third! :lol: (Out of 3!!! :lol: :lol: ) Wait until I upload the photos of the other two - they were gleaming, mine... well, wasn't!! :lol:

What else? Staying up late and chatting with a few of the other guys - notably Ben, Jo and Chris (Mk1 Chris) as we ended up being (so it seemed given the lack of lights and noise elsewhere) the last awake... :lol: Oh, and Jo's dog making love to Ben's arm... :lol: Haribo Vodka... :+:

Awesome weekend. Huge thanks to Scott for all the organisation - you did an awesome job! :+: Many thanks also to Chris for sorting out the Mk1 club side of things. (I received my ticket nice and early!! :lol: )


Jim, were you in the tent that kept shouting at Danny on Saturday night? :lol: May have kept me up a bit (as well as the snoring from the other side) but it was really late when I finally hit the tent so I didn't have too much trouble sleeping! :lol:

That said, we did have quite a good turn out of MK1s. It's just a shame they were all white!!

I think there were about 6 or 7 of us, if you include me buying my ticket on the door. Still hardly a great turnout though. What disappointed me more was the number of Mk1s who aren't Mk1 club members - I always though the two clubs had a good relationship :?

The two clubs have always had a good relationship Ben. Where the Mk1 club specifically appeals to the Mk1...IMOC is open to all Mk's.
Plus i suppose where the Mk1 club was with the IMOC for such a long time there are a few people who are used to what they know.

Nothing stopping them from becoming Mk1 club members as well as IMOC though.
One big happy family.

There was 8 tickets sold before show and another 2 on the day from the mk1 club, so i dont know where lauren is getting her figure's from ](*,)

Also the other mk1's were IMOC members cars and over the course of the weekend there was around 20+ mk1's that made an atempt to show themsevles.

There were (from what I can deffo remember)

4 red T-bars
1 black mk1a (bubblesduck)
1 satin black 1a (Sketch
1 Matt black mk1a/b :-k (mk1chris)
2 mica blue mk1b's
1 white SC
1 white over silver MINT SC
1 white mk1a SC conversion
1 white over silver N/A import auto (bill hulme)
2 white T-bar's
1 white coupe Mine (until saturday afternoon)
2 more white coupe's
1 helios blue
1 silver mk1

Also Tiny had his Black mk1 at the show but on a differant stand(due to work commitments)

So 20+ cars that stayed for most of the weekend , Half of which were paid by mk1club members, there were a few others that came and went also.

Edit: Forgot about Garrick and Jo's mk1 track car that was also there.

So Lauren before you start get your sums right :evil:
