Looks like a cracking day had by all, as someone has already said, it's a shame it's been allowed to deteriate to such an extent, isn't it like the oldest race track in the world or something?

Next meet i will be there, and who knows i may have my Lotus wheels fitted :D

Yeah, I wish the track still existed, surely it'd be a viable enterprise nowadays when people will pay to use a track? Though I guess we have Rockingham now. I'm sure they let Paul Sr. use part of it when the American Chopper muppets visited.

Right, video is up, but unfortunately I've used 'music that is under copyright by WMG' so the audio is muted. I'm trying to work out which track has upset the auto-scanner, and I'll re-upload once I've worked out which one.

Edit: and now they're doing site maintenance....humph...Anyway, I think I know what it is. I put the BBC Formula 1 music over the pics of the Grand Prix exhibition, which is actually the ending to 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac, and I think they're a Warner artist, so no more F1 music I'm afraid. I'll have to re-render and re-upload when they're not doing site maintenance......

Ok all sorted now. Its in HD so you need a fast onnection to view it, if you're struggling, uncheck the 'HD' box at the bottom right.

:D Yup.

Work currently takes a fair amount of my time, meaning Fake isn't getting de-rusted at an acceptable pace. So, I started looking for daily's with some MOT and tax and just as I was about to buy a Saab 900 8V carb Pete F rang me and said he had a GLT I could buy :D

Though, if I'd bought the Saab, I wouldn't have spent the last 4 evenings out working on the damn thing. I'll start a new thread.

If anybody hasn't watched the vid of the meet and would like to, please try and do so because at the end of this week i'm going to remove it as Youtube has started getting very twitchy about music on their channels.
