Cracking day rain or not! Thank you Ian
Tad hard to get off the grass at the end of the day without sending mud flying everywhere
Fair play we had a cracking stand, as Ian pointed out only thing missing was a type R (cough cough Merv the tractor ) that's what I should have been in today but everybody just likes to leave things to the last min
All looked wicked when the rain came with the beading, Ty good effort
That wind on the way home tho! Caught a bus swinging between lanes, honestly thought he had lost it at one point! Fair to say i passed it at warp speed 9, bugger getting caught by that. It slowed the entire section of motorway so nice open stretch of road to make a quick overtake fair play that thing hits some speeds without evening knowing it, really gonna have to watch driving that as it's definitely a licence looser
So what's up next? And is there any plans of going to the second one in august? I really need to pull my finger out my *** and get my car done

Secondly, a huge thank you to Ty for letting me take the Reigns of the 22b,
what a epic car it really is. The torque I felt was fantastic from the 2.2, pulling effortlessly from low revs right up through to (almost) the redline in no time with very little lag. A truly stunning motor that offers the "whole package", being a classic owner myself I think there really is nothing else that comes close to this for looks and performance. Thankyou once again ty, your a man of your word any always said (as you have with all your other cars) that I'm welcome for a drive whenever the time arises ,and I appreciate you trusting me to get behind the wheel and try for myself.

Thanks for sorting it all out Ian.
I had a top day and was great to meet you all.
I left early to beat the traffic as my route home takes me right past Badminton!!
I'll drop a few of my pics up in a bit.

A few of my efforts of the day.
I did take a few pics of the individual cars on our stand so just ask and I'll see if I did yours.
I'm kicking myself for not going to get my bigger lense from the car for the drifting so they're not as good as they could have been.

We'll I did have more of your Daz but I had to delete them as the kids had been playing with my phone and to be honest I don't know what the f**k they done to it
Fair play it was looking lovely, it really is a lovely colour and you could tell a bit of effort had gone in to prepping it for the show, buy the presence of beading..!

A great day i think was had by all be it rain, shine or full on gale force winds.
The stand certainly had great numbers on show of all models and colours.
The drifters normally dont do it for me but this year was a massive improvement.
Its a pity that we have to wait for the next show which is not until September.
Thankyou Ian for the planning and execution of this show, hats of to you sir.
