What a great day! Great turn-out on the stand, the weather wasn't as bad as expected and getting out on track was amazing fun! \:D/

After the mix up with the postage, a big thanks to Karl for getting a plan B in place to sort out people who didn't get their packs. I still didn't get to meet ya, but I hope you had a good day riding shotgun with Jack too :thumleft:

It was a really good day and I can't believe that I even managed to get sunburnt! :lol:

I didn't manage to get around everyone in order to say hello, so sorry if you didn't meet me (you probably got off lightly! :lol: )

All in all a decent show and turn out
The only car I saw on the track was shinnys - twas nice to see an mr2 out there :thumleft:

Awesome day out as usual! Met a few people!

(i was the really shiney black one!!!:D Parked right at the front of the stand!!)
i also showed some decent machinery up, not bad to say my car is standard apart from the exhaust! (which only just managed to pass the noise test at 100db:S)

I hope noone minded me throwing my dirty car at the front of the stand... couldn't afford to get blocked in due to track time :oops:

Still, I got a couple of cars from TwoBrutal to form a mk1/mk2/mk3 fan with me, with Rowey200 and an mr2roc member joining in too. Glad to see the attention the GT86s got too!

This car was in my track session!
