I told as many people there you all have a passion more so than the yanks ,I am not trying to suck up here(no reason to) I really mean this ,it was like the states show except it was in the U.K.(minus the accents,it is easier to communicate here than in person,lol)
it costs way more to do this hobby over there and I have to say I learned alot about the state of the hobby,
yea the recession Bananarama! us all but just the enthusiasm over there is unparallelled to what is over here ,this board alone has more action than most of the boards in the U.S. keep it up guys a few more pix

glad you had a good time....
aussies on the track yes indeed
first time in about 5 years
considering these were examples of cars you could actually buy from a showroom in the UK without going through some convoluted ordering process and a long long wait, they're a bit thin on the ground in compariosn to all the rest

Great pics of the nats Drew.Have only just got my laptop back from being fixed.
Met up with Tony tyreman today at the Bombshelter garage here in Bacup,the home of the Never Again racing team.He mentioned to check out your post on the MMA.Love the pic of my Cuda.
I think you must have been the tall slim guy who said "nice car" as you were passing.Had no clue that was you,would have found time to have a chat if I had realised,but was busy giving a helping hand to the Doomsday impala mates of mine.
