Right, any of you guys who don't already have stand or outfield passes, you'll need to come and find me bright and early tomorrow morning. I'll need to meet you at the gate, so call me - zero seven eight one four, zero five one, one six one.

See you tomorrow!

cheers

Ugh. Hit an unexpected delay tonight so I may end up driving down tomorrow morning instead of staying in Sheffield like I planned. Either way I'll be there and I'll happily take an outfield pass if I'm not by myself.

Good to see a few people there, mostly Turbobrickers but some really interesting cars going around the track and the £999 challenge was entertaining too!

Here's my pics (still uploading)

Was that the car with the Challenger tank engine, that was in the same PPC mag as your car? Fascinating stuff :-)

Well they've made it off my camera onto my computer... :lol:

V3M content is a little limited...only Andy and Joni made it onto the stand, as John was late and wasn't allowed down there with his car.

cheers
