Credit is due to all that organised the event and to all the people who arrived today. Was great to meet some of you and out user names to faces. FUD actually met you without realising I did, you asked a group of three guys in the morning if we owned the Blue/purple my11 sti saloon, just didn't click who you were!

Got a Sneaky pic of the 22b which I will pm to you as it has your plate in view. Cracking car by the way.

Have to admit being parked up near budgie's and Tony's saloons has made me very tempted with one next as well as seeing Don's maybe the 330s will be on its way out lol.

Frayz please to meet you chap and the bomber is a credit to all the hard work and time you have put in, looks even better in the flesh.

Great meet today, thanks to the organisers for putting on such a well managed event and to the raffle donors.

Gaz, well maintained Spec C you have there! The time line was brilliant, surprised how many models there are!

Absolutely superb weekend for me.

Thank you to all you guys who worked so hard at organising such a great day. I think you'll agree, it was a very successful and well organised event.

For me it was less about the cars and more about the people. So many people who I haven't seen in ages, so many people who I have spoken to over the years and never met.

Thank you to everyone who came and said hello today, it was great to meet you all. I don't think I went 5 min all day without nattering to someone.

I think The Bomber did itself proud today and I was truly humbled to receive so many complements on it. It's first big public outing since JAE 2006!!!

Huge massive thank you to Chris Buckler, you know why!
Even bigger thank you to my wingman and best mate MADDOG.

To top it off my car avareged a massive 25.6mpg... Well happy

was yours the black one with the 57obhp dyno in the windscreen?

*edit* just seen your sig so it was deffo yours - unbelievable work - loved the trimmed steering column and all the other touches - I took 2 photos of the engine bay and i'm not into engine photos normally - btw, my mate pointed out the netting in the back and said "f**king hell, 570bhp, no wonder it comes with a bollock hammock!!"

I couldnt stop laughing for about 10 minutes

Great day, very well organised. Was really nice to finally meet some people, like Frayz, Maggy etc.

Well great weekend actually, we left home yesterday morning, and, thanks to the generosity of our hosts, we're still down here.

Thanks mate, Was that after leaving as i needed some fuel but managed to take a wrong turning on the way into services and drove about a bit until i found my way to the fuel, I blame it on last nights celebrations as i was feeling rough today, I drove into a dead end on my way out of the hotel this morning aswell

What a TOP day, met some famous cars and some their less famous owners :-)

Really nice to meet and chat with so many enthusiastic owners, thanx for the nice comments on mine (The blob wagon parked wrong way round in the corner so I could show off my mini boot display)

Cheers everyone for organising, I think it went really well today, now WHERE do I put my badges ?????????????
