Gerry Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Went last year and had a great day which was spoiled by taking about 11/2 hours to get out of the place (and I think we were lucky) ! Wasn't going to go today but the weather down here is really nice, my change my mind and go. If so I'll try to move the car nearer to the exit mid-afternoon. Anybody else going ? http://www.santapod.co.uk/e_flame.php Cheers G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Guess that was a "no" then Had a great afternoon & evening, saw some very fast runs including the jet bike who crossed the line in just over 5 secs. Jet cars, Rocket cars, Top fuel cars and some showy stuff as well. Best of all I parked just inside the entrance so when the fireworks finished we had a ten minute walk and then just drove staight out - easy Saw only one other Supe, silver with big spoiler parked near the fun fair "was it you" ? It was attracting lots of attention photo's etc. Had a nice play for 20 minutes with a black Carerra 4 who was, unusually for a Porche driver, giving it some welly ! Sounded really sweet... Great day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Sounds good Gerry, Only saw your post about it at 2pm, or would have probably come along, as it was the perfect weather for a cross country convoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure as I had a full days jobs around the house / garden to do really (and was playing all day today) but then thought "sod it" all the jobs will still be there next weekend and it's the last Pod of 2007 !

Tigger Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 We went a few years back and it was amazing, we stayed over night and watched the fireworks and the jet cars going down in the dark are awesome to see. I’ve heard about your boss he sounds like a right…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard about your boss he sounds like a right…… Yes.. looks really nice with all the lighting that they do, took some vid of the jet-car, not looked at it yet but I fear that it might be a bit jumpy as I was trying to stop my ears bleeding whilst filming Re The Boss, think his tightness comes from his poor upbringing in deepest darkest Yorkshire, where they had just whippet meat to eat except from Sundays when they had leg of ferret. On the other hand, he does give us bank Holidays off if we're lucky and Soo says he's good in bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
