    Here's what we got up to this weekend!:eek::D:eek:

    I would like to say a big big thank you to Phil for organising this and for everyone making it a fantastic weekend.

    So we done the 7 hour drive on Friday to get there, got the tent up and then hit bar to relax before the run the next day.

    Here's a few that were there already

    Have to say Clark was fantastic, managed to get his model a roadster up on 3 wheels whilst going round the cone!!!

    Then we left and i wish i had my camera then as we all left the runway 30 cars as i looked back it was an amazing sight.

    So after our 6 hour drive home in the pouring rain i have the most amazing memorys of yet another weekend away!!!

    Looks a blast - wish I could've been there - maybe next year! ;)

    Good to see several familiar faces too! Seems plenty of "new" cars I don't remember also - that's a good thing!
     
  16. Of course it won't... never again.

    My efforts to record the day:

    Enbloc made it for the first time ever!

    Dammit, I forgot you took that! Hell, I look as rough as I felt.
    Awesome day, that was. Another never to be forgotten. And as Becky just said, that airfield video has just sent a shiver up my spine too. Only downer was my trans causing some grief on the way home, but nothing serious enough to spoil the weekend.
    Phil is my hero!
    (My photos on way, btw.)
