I would just like to say a massive thank you to Scott for organising a fantastic day, it was great and you even managed to get the sun to shine :clap:

Well what a day.....fantastic weather, amazing location for our stand and a great bunch of guys to hang out with...oh yes and some fun moments to watch on the track! :mrgreen:

I had a great time, it was really good to meet some new faces and also really great to see those of you who I already know ( mostly from Duxford ) :thumleft:

And thanks again Mike for being such a star and making the long walk to the Maguires stand O:)

Well i must say thankyou for organising a great stand at a brilliant show.

We couldnt have asked for better weather or a better location. The stand location was in a place where it was impossible not to see our cars by anyone at the show !!! Was good to see everyone and everyones cars looked stunning.

The car of the stand had to be Chalced's (mel) who had a constant stream of people stood around it admiring it and im not even exagerating so well done mel your hard work has paid off and thankyou for letting me have a spin in it and even letting me use the NOS !!! :thumleft: :thumleft:

Days like this today make me realise why i own an MR2.

Cheers for the comments guys, although at 10am i was wondering if anyone else was going to turn up! :lol:
And then you all did.
Great stand, great weather, great people. I lost count of the amount general public coming up to me asking for the clubs details. :clap:

The biggest highlight for me was a member of the public coming up to me and congratulating me on a fantastic stand and spread of cars. He even went on to say that the 'other' MR2 stands did not have "as many nice cars" as IMOC.
Its feedback like that, that makes the whole day a success.

Thanks to Leesa for stopping behind after everyone else had gone to clear up. You are a star. :thumleft:

I would of posted some pics up, but i carried it around all day with me and did not take one pic! #-o

Had an awesome day! Thanks Scott for organising (and Leesah too, it sounds like) You got us a top spot, right on Quarry!

Saw some awesome drifting and some bad-ass 86s, which makes me happy :mrgreen:

Hi guys,

Cracking weather for a super day out. Thanks to Scott for organising.
I think I may have converted Mike over to the Roadster!! :clap:
Some rather 'spirited' driving on the way back just made the perfect end to the day.
Vid of my Dyno run is on the events video section if anyone is interested.
Got 174 HP at the whells which isnt too bad for a N/A.
Just need a few more tweaks to get close to that 200 barrier :wink:

Mel.

I enjoyed the day alot and again the stand & location was excellent.

I was amazed the amount of people that walked passed and stopped and pointed at my tubby particularly at the rev6 bumper.

all the other cars on the stand looked good as well.

I do had a load of pics and videos of the track action, will post them up this week.

Thanks to every one on the IMOC stand :D
