Guys,

I'll upload my pics tomorrow and link to them.

A great weekend and those of you that thought it was too far away missed a great time, many thanks to Mike, Darran and Tony for getting this organised. Thanks to those who donated the prizes (especially mine) and Steve's lad for picking my ticket out in the raffle (spooky or what?).

Richard i am really glad you won the detailing prize but there has never been a more deserving prize than the £100 detailing kit that went to tony. on arrival to our meet this is how his car looked.

Can you just imagine mikes face when he saw it

i know what your all thinking now but no there has not just been a load of pigeons dropping on his car but if you look closely you will just see the top of mike aplying snow foam.
And after a little bit of tlc from both of them we had tony's clean car
so the next time we all see tony he will i am sure have put his detailing kit to good use and show us all a clean and polished car.

What a great weekend!

It was cool just driving fast in such beautiful coutryside. Most of it was just a green blur, of course. But a really nice green blur

Loads of thanks and to Tony, Mike and Darren. The race track was real fun - I didn't get a good time but had a smile on my face for ages! And the best part was just meeting all you great guys (and if there was a smiley with his fingers down his throat, this is where it would go ).

I'm really looking forward to the next meet Here are a few pix

Muhahahahahaha........
Not as good as Darren on petrol.
First time I have run it and it's not properly set up but I knocked .5 second of my best run on petrol running LPG and Nos/LPG. Loads of room for improvement. Will be running it in Germany!!!
