I burned just about everywhere.

Little dart put up with it all the way to, didn't miss a beat, including the 35 mins of stand still on the way home. Ideling away.

Wicked day!

Certainly was a great day , sure ours was the best club display by far, mustangs 50th anniversary display was cool but did highlight their loss of the plot in certain years !
And the corvettes don't count

Firstly can I say a big thanks to John S.

Without his generosity and help I wouldn't have been able to attend.

Fantastic weekend for me. Met a few more members and caught up with the ones I know ( I did see a few more but didn't manage to say hello. Sorry )
We really have some cracking cars in this club and it's always a sight to behold when together so well done chaps. Only down side was I don't think there was a more door mope to be seen ? ( very rare cars though

)
Highlights were Matts Chally. Hats of to you sir. Looking great.
And Don on the track. Had to be the loveliest sounding car of the day for me.
And looked so cool on the track. Shame it didn't last longer ( just read head gasket blown on another thread. Sorry to hear that mate !)

Oh lastly. Be good to have a few more mma campers next year.

it was great to meet ya Mossy and thanks to Ade W for introducing John S, always nice to put names to faces. Slowly making my way round

The racing was the best I've seen for years, the sound of that Falcon was awsome

Got me all fired up for our Les Mans road trip

Think there was a little Falcon there James ?
The galaxy was a beauty. I liked the little screeeemin Mustang. Number 520 I think ? High revving small block. Lovely.

Yeah they did scream. But the thought of a V8 revving that hard had the hairs on the back of my neck up !!! Kept waiting for the bang

The sound of your motor in Hatfield Tunnel has stuck with me and the kids Al'

Marks mate recorded the noise of you then my little putt putt following

Best move and sound of the day I reckon cos' it got my other half asking if we could one day have something with that sound

Top job Al' you may have set the seed for my first big block

I nearly forgot

Whilst admiring a members car as he gave it a spruce up , his lovely wife approached me and said " best take a picture. Its rare for him to do that "
I seized the moment and can now share it with all.
