Well looks like I'm the first...

Had a great day, despite the best efforts of the weather.

I wish I'd taken more pics, but short of having a waterproof camera (at least towards the start of the day) it may have ended tragically!

Here's some of what I did take though (er, some may be slightly narcissistic from a car-owner's point of view!):

Just got back now. I thought the weather was ok tbh, better than what was forecast yesterday. God knows how but me and my little boy are sunburnt lol. Was a good day, some nice cars about.

One thing that suprised me was the speed and handling of those toyota starlet turbo's. I saw one taking out a r33 gtr on the track

Didn't really get to say hi to anyone apart from chingy(?) as my car wasn't ready to come down in. Saw the club stand but you feel like a cock walking up to people you don't know (when it might not even be their car lol).

Roll on next year

roll on the convoy video!!

Had a good day again this year, many thanks to Lui for organizing a good convoy again all be it a slightly wet one nice to meet new members again, sadly this will be my last meet this year as going to the gulf for seven months on monday but bigger and better things for the soop next year;) so cheers and take care everybody.

Had a great day, really enjoyed it. And to think I was so close to not coming because of weather forcast last night.

The only bad point was the police waiting outside, 300 yards from the exit pulling me and other people in because of our number plates. Thats me been pulled twice in the last week and this time the Bloody filth gave me a £30 fine.

First thing tomorrow getting myself down to halfords and getting some plates coz that's the last time I'm giving them an easy excuse to pull me in.

Hope none of you guys got pulled.

bad luck mate i must have missed them which is a good job as i lost my plate to a deer on the way to reading

roll on the convoy video!!

Hear, hear! It looked like there were some good pics taken of the convoy too, so bring them on also!

unlucky m8 we slipped by while he was dealing with you but cops were out in force after the meet

Great day, nice to meet some new and old faces:)

Big Thanks to TRACIE_LOU and her partner RED ROCKET for helping me out and bringing a couple of batteries down for me.

our pleasure m8 we had a great day nice to put faces to names at last

Had a really good day, nice to see so many supras on our stand again this year, well done everyone. Many thanks to all those who organised today especially lui for sorting out my ticket problems, i cant thank you enough. roll on next year....

we got some video of the convoy but have no idea how to transfer it to pc, bit of jamie wiggling his ass should be on there,ill get tracie working on it as i have no idea

On a different note, I was standing basically right in front of the Drift Works S13 when it stacked on the first drift demo. The accident stopped the drifting for the rest of the demo while they picked bits of the car off the track and assessed the ArmCo; the car looked pretty battered, but it drove off ok and the driver seemed fine.

I got a vid of it, more by luck than by judgment as with so many of these things. Check it out

ouch

Forgot to post a reply earlier

Great day out despite the rain during the first couple of hours. Some good track action today and the cars on the club stand looked superb. Was nice to catch up with many people I've not seen for a long time!

Many thanks to Lui for the lift today, love the way your car goes, was fun being in the convoy and Jamie's driving was as entertaining as always That was a bit of a close one on the way back when that car nearly went into you J.

Also thanks Lui for the hard work organising the day for the club. Most of you won't know how many dozens of hours Lui spent to make the tickets and club stand work so smoothly.

Also thanks to Gatso, Mawby and Genna for sorting out the cub stand, was much more organised that last year

Roll on JapShow

Had a good time too, had my time on the track which was fun apart from spinning off at one point. Didn't really see any of you lot apart from Homer!

i think most of us saw you spin out it was a good day out cheers lui

When you went past Chingy and Lui on the way back and acar drifted into your lane, Looked like you had to go over the rumble strip, certainly sent up a cloud of dust!

Ahh, that was just after i crunched my splitter in the petrol station and i was seriously pissed, never noticed him tbh, must have been the red mist:d

thats a small spoiler

think he needed a bigger one judging by the way it never stuck him to the road good enough
