not really a lot to say apart from i thought the facilities this year were a hundred times better than last year, although they could have done with being cleaned at some point over the weekend.

As for the compay, well fan bloody tastic.......watching tiny on the way up was quality......

Thanks Tiny, Karen, Phil, Karyn and Dave for all your hard work and efforts in organising this.
Thanks also Mr ABW for sponsering the show and shine and to Zac of Mocom Racing for such a fantastic disco!

Really enjoyed myself... thank you

Great weekend! Thanks to everyone for a very entertaining weekend.

Facilities (i.e. showers) were much better this year. Show & Shine area was much better also. Drifting was good to watch.

Real lack of good quality trade stands though.

Thanks to Frayz & Zak for teaching me not to believe everything you get told by tuners on stands!

The plot we had this year was soooo much better than last year too. Would definitley recommend the same plot for next year. The bank was great to show off the cars.

Agreeing with most people- there wasn't over much to see or do and no freebies either! But I was just as happy to in our ESC area chatting and having a laugh with everyone

Much damage???

Congrats on the awards tho and cheers to A-B-W, Daren and Bubs (minus golf ball) for lending us a couple of cars over the weekend. And if you wondered where all the freebies were... Check the boot of Bub's motor - we almost resorted to buying some bits back - Surely he is the king of blag.

does this mean that we can actually get hold of you and J-Tuner now? I've tried getting in touch with you for a couple of rolling road days but had no reply, the first rolling road would of been interesting for your mag as it was Nissan Skyline Vs Nissan 200SX Vs Scoobies

Agree with what's been said.

We had a good plot near to camp site/showers & loos & accessible for the visiting public.

Food & DJ were just right,the only thing we had to buy food wise was Yorkshire Dales ice cream & lots of it.

The trade stands were a bit meagre & some of the promo girls a bit ruff ruff.Unless you are into fake tan.I am still having bad dreams about ~ "Come on boys don't be shy."

I think we rallied round in true ESC style after the flash storm & did what we do best. Just got on with it.

I put "Swingers 92 Golf Driving Range" into a search & was directed to the Adult supervision area.
