That was a good day :D I'd have been in around 9:00 ish, but got diverted to a pub on the way home, then been white roading with a shogun. If those of you there thought Fake was muddy earlier.... ;)

Thanks for a great day all, really enjoyed it.

Andy took all the pictures for the day, though half on my memory card as he'd run out ;) I'll chuck some up when I get back, he's got some good ones of how to abuse a Mk1 :lol:

Right, just been looking at the last half of pics and...

Andy learns quick :D I was getting him to do some panning shots of your's and my car Foggy, and he's done a great job. If he doesn't mind I'll be getting a few big ones run out (boots 15"x10" are £2.49, and look awesome) and be buying some frames :D

I'll be back tomorrow, and try and get some put up.

OKOK stop yer nagging. :P

Firstly twas a great meet, although really crappy weather, it meant for a nice slippery track when you two hooligans decided to hoon round the track. I wimped out, turns out luckily for me, cos my waterpump bearing was looking decidedly second hand by the time I got home and the pump needed changing straight away before it died completely ;)

Anyhoo, there were three cars in the BKV, guess which car came third ;) Congrats to Foggy and Chris for their prizes on the day:)

Pictars...there are many but I've picked a couple of the best

Lovin' the gangsta 300 lean :D

A couple of other guys also went round the track including several different fairly modern FWD cars all owned by the same guy...go figure.....there was a race prepped 144 and a very smart looking Amazon too. They don't seem, somehow to have the roll of a 300.

The 144...ignore the smoke officer :D

That 144 has a fair amount of rally history, John Griffiths does historic's with it, think he's done ~30 with that which is a great effort. I've a feeling the amazon does some of the VOC motorsport challenge stuff, but I'm not sure.

One day I'll get my suspension sorted ;) Ta for taking those pics mate, as you can tell I'm super chuffed!
