I do have pics, although it's mostly more of the same. I should have the lot for you tonight...video and all.

cheers

Hopefully with music as a soundtrack rather than my commentary? ;)

HAHA...well there seems to be most of the contents of Andy's iPod on the video anyway. You'll see anyway...no-one apart from Pete (behind the camera) has got away without some form of ridicule! :)

That said, I think Steve has got away with it too...might have to rectify that...

Looking forward to seeing this! Was a good weekend, great company, good weather, lots of cars some steam too!

I was wondering if you'd use some of the tracks playing on the vid or not from Andy's iPod.

Ridicule.... My poor lil Kar had enough of that over the weekend :( Still, as long as there is footage of my leaving Steve behind on every hill I don't care :)

Chris obviously has no concept of driving economically up hills :P Whereas you were surely adjusting accelerator pedal pressure, I remained constant :P

B200 vs B14 torque = no

I have a B14, which is just that tad more economical than the B200.. so I can afford too!
