Sounds like you had a good weekend Marcin, well done on the 2nd place, makes me wonder knowing how clean your car is who got first???

So disappointed I had to be here watching a pipeline plough, (boring)

Next one maybe

Ahh but the prize was for the most desireable D3 and ditto D2 and that's a different thing than the best presented - for which Marcin was up there. And there were some VERY desirable D3s. Tonupkid's S8 was classy but Marcin's exhaust drew eyes and ears from a 500m radius. Chuckletinlegs looked the dogs whatsits with the wheels and ceramics so its was all about the subjective desires of the voters. BrianG will, no doubt, post the winners of two classes if he can remember as I for some reason have forgotten

I'm amazed I got 2 votes, and I promise I didn't vote for myself

Will now have to make an effort to get the rear bumper sorted out.

Perhaps you should have opened the bonnet and shown off some chrome jubilee clips or something. Did NOBODY notice the classy black dice!? That was worth a vote or two!
I cant believe you beat me! What with the highly desirable, classy vavona/twist interior (so much better than all black)

If we had a vote for who's the most competitive of our bunch, I think I know who'd win...
