Your not wrong Jeff, thought it might change my mind, but this year just seemed real "off", yeah there's a recession granted, but still just not the same buzz . Even this place has got more boring than an oil rig with a lot of the regulars not here anymore

The Nat's was the quietest I've ever seen it without the normal party atmosphere etc etc.
I was amazed at the lack of post's on the board when I got back from my holl's, normally a board full about the Nat's

.........say's it all I spose.

Maybe It's just me = gettin old .............

It was all over in a flash on here compared to other years. Anyway, you can all look forward to a few pics from me, once CA have published them next month I can put them on my site and you can all take a little trip back to relive the nats
