You missed a really good day Stu. Only lacking about four things, you, TK & Mikes B & S would have rounded it off nicely.

Oops! Forgot to mention John Start who was there too. He qualifies as a lurker :)

I managed to omit two vital bits of info.

1. The significance of the lolly stick. DC thought I was being a woos and noticed that one of the screws, for attaching the hood, was touching the roll hoop and the sound was being amplified so stuffed the lolly stick between.

2. That's the best excuse in the history of BP for a crap result :D

Excellent day again, very happy with the result, shame the highly illegal stripped out, caged & sticky tyre'd white 205 in my class with a GTi6 engine got moved into D9 (wrong) class really, he could've stayed and still got beaten whilst cheating!!

Good to see/catch up with everyone. :)

If you mean the red onethem yep it was hooning around again

Pictures will follow from me tonight :D

I looked through about 2000 of them last night and dumped about 160 of them so hopefully once I've checked the other 1000 :banghead: then I'll have quite a few to post up.

Already found several nice ones :coolgleamA:

Ady get those pix up! I think Stu means the white porker (or beetle as Logan tactfully pointed out) and yes it was there, a father and son double drive. I did notice it having a big spin so that must have been the boy's attempt :)

Good to see you again Baz, if only a distant wave :) and well done of course.

I arrived at the awards ceremony a bit late, no hurry as I wasn't listed in the accolades. So, I'm not too sure who got what. Logan of course won his class and Gerry F had a second, I think. Matt should have got something on sight and sound alone but not sure if he did.

Come on chaps, don't be shy, who got what? :D

1. Logan 1st

Cheers Gerry!

Indeed it seems like Debden has reached capacity already! I'm on the reserves list though! Anyone got an entry list?


Back to NW; the Winstone's Beetle suffered after the spin, dislodged a sensor or something, wouldn't idle and misfired badly, so they packed up and called it a day after just a couple of practise runs.

1. Logan 1st
2. Baz 1st (B3)
3.
