Yeh Michael well done mate .. I was cursing about the drive home in the rain on the A140 .. then remembered you had come from sheffield ...

Additionally I nearly didn't come due to the weather - I'm glad I did, 1 because it was fun, 2 because I would have had the P**s ripped out of me by stuart based on your mammoth journey!!!.

I was tired when I posted last night, but now i'm awake, thinking back It was a really good meet and a great location - my only moan - it's getting dark to early !!! .... can't wait till the late evenings and heading back there for some nice moody shots.

I have to say - the best car on the block last night has got to be BigFil's Mustang... is a thing of utter beauty :-D

Also what made it for me - was hearing all the cars as they left Copdock, I can't wait till we meet with Provamotorsport, then each and everyone of us can hear just how awesome some of our cars sound (with out breaking the law) .... :)
Dum spiro, spero

I've played back my video footage - and there are some nice bits where it catches the whole convoy on the A14. I will get it edited and up as soon as I get a chance.

I did the same, had the windows open and stereo off. When we met with the guys in Euston (or whatever that place was called) the sound of the car's pulling away was magic .. sent tingles down my spine.

Alex - I was really expecting that cop car to pull you for your plate ... I was thinking how has he not noticed that postage stamp sized plate :) .... bet you were thinking the same ...

What a superb evening, had a great time looking at the cars and meeting the people. Seemed to run out of time as I didn't get to talk to everyone, will have to wait til the next meet.

I was looking out for you Ben but didn't realise you had hair!!! couldn't recognise you without the bandana :D

Great Club, awesome cars, freindly people, nice one Stu 8)

Driving a fast Jap import is like coming out of the closet, you might surprise some people, but in the end you are still gay.

Highlight for me had to be the Mustang. 8)

Ha ha it did cross my mind! But then at night with headlights on the contrast is so great it's quite hard to see any detail on the front of a car through the glare - especially when it's as small as my plate ;)

Anyhoo - another great meet, loads of superb cars and a cool location so thanks to all who organised it :) Looks like torrential rain on the journey back is a feature of BigPower meets though!

Cheers,
Alex
