Hi MarkMas,

Yep, thanks for pointing that out, all correct now.

The organisers are hoping we will be able to be in place from 9am to 5pm but there's no compulsion of course :argue1:so if you need to be away earlier just check with one of the hi-viz people if theres a lot going on as they might want to escort you out for H&S reasons.

Thanks for the feedback on the carp artwork, pity the money didn't work out at sick squid each for the stand 'cos that also could have looked a little fishy.
Glad the artwork printed OK. buddy, had to take a photo of the screen in the end!

Seems to me that's the voice of experience ;)

It nearly halted the whole meeting last year when some idiots keys got locked in the boot! :)

Sound the bugle please, This is my Last Post before the event. I've really got to get the car prepped for tomorrow right now!

Just received the list of the other cars that will be on the track tomorrow, which is as follows:--

DSCN2509.jpgDSCN2510.jpgDSCN2511.jpg

Again I have to apologise over the carp quality and presentation but I've spent far too long foolin' about downloading stuff to try to get them into JPEG format.

Glancing down the list I'd have thought it would be worth a punt to pop in during the day even for an hour or two to see the cars ontrack and even try the Autoslalom in your own bolide to impress the wife & kids.

Much to my surprise the drift cars are appearing again this year as I believe the yeomen in the neighbourhood took offence at their noise level last year. The tyre noise alone must be over 100 Db A!

The Aston Vantage and driver is I believe the combo which holds the current track record, but that may be heresay. He He, he's in my group!

Be good to see the Healey 3000 on track as well.

Look forward to seein' y'all tomorrow for a fun-packed day.

Drive prettily Guys!!

PS. Just seen your post AndyG. Sorry you can't make it, these things happen.

So guys that changes the amount to give to Jen unless some one else comes onboard.

Just to let you guys know that there will be a film crew at the meeting,

We are one car short so it would look good for the cameras if we park at a slight angle wjth the front of the cars inclined to the Strawford centre.

Just a suggestion Guys.

Be good to see you there Nick.

Cracking day Peter, despite the weather, fair play in going out on Combe in that!! Well done for organizing us also :)

Pics (none from the tack too damp to go up the banks)
