Well i joined the ranks with another 1000+ scoobs yesterday to ceebrate the life of Colin McRae.
We managed to set two word records.
1) Largest collection of single make of car. We were a parked up up to spell Colin's name and the Scottish flag. total was 1086 (I BELIVE), previous record was around 200. :-D
2) Largest convoy of single make of car. Again in excess of 1000 with the previous record beiong 500 set by the Fiat 500 club.
A pretty fitting tribute to a great driver! :notworthy:

Well done Mike
Must have been a nightmare to organise but what a fantastic achievement.
Could have been 1088 if Trev and I hadn't been at North Weald yesterday.

For me, it wasn't much of a result. 1st in a class of one :roll:
More exciting for Kim, Logan, Trev and Russell in B3 (14 runners in roadgoing) they were fighting all the way, as usual. :-D
Come and join us?

Well done Mike
That looked like a memorable day. Nice to look back on something like that and say 'I was there' ( Not North Weald
)
