No photos from me, but Dan and Tony were walking around like paparrazi (if that's how you spell it) so they should be along to contribute soon enough :)

I needed to bomb into Norwich early doors to buy a new MAF for the Cupra, so a quick trip to GSF and

Left mine at 5.00am to go and pick Alan up from the badlands. First thing to do was to go and fill up then we were off on our 3hr road trip:auto:. We left slightly later than planned and thought we would have to drive straight through. However with clear roads and zero traffic we made good time so decided to make our customary stop at mcdonalds for breakfast:drool5:. Once refuelled we swopped our and Alan drove the second half of the journey.We arrived at snetterton at about 8.05 and decided to sit up at the main entrance to wait for everyone, after about 20mins we heard a car coming up the slip and thought who or what is that, as it sounded very throaty, it was Eddy in his mighty metro:thumbs:. He sat up with us for a while chatting then we decided to go through only to find that everyone was already inside.

Straight away we were directed to go and park in another part of the car park and for Alan to go and sign on:confused:

Usually we have one of the oldest cars around but today our car was definately the spring chicken and when they went out for their parade lap, which turned into 2 laps, Alan was behind a car from 1936 and had a simular car behind him.(for god sake Al don't floor it or jump on the brakes). They were told in the briefing not to slow down and then floor it:redface:

Alan spent the 2 laps making the wastegate sing.....was it loud.....we could still hear him as he was going into corum and we were at the other end of the circuit:smilielol5:

After he finished playing he parked the car back on the club stand next to Phil's Mustang:coolgleamA:. I have seen a lot of nice cars but that thing is simply awesome. The power and attention to detail was worth the trip on it's own.....as for when he started it up.....lets just say the first thing I did when I got home was to change my underware:eek:

The shear mixture of cars on the stand meant there was something for everyone. I could go on all night about each car as they all brought something to the day.

For me though, it was more about catching up with people and just having a good ole chat about nothing in particular. Thank you guys, for making the day so enjoyable. Stu, Phil, Daniel, Harry, Russ, Tony, Trev, Eddy and everyone else that i might have bored to tears with my waffle:thumbs:

Well what can I say that hasn't already been said? Another great day with the usual suspects. It was great to see the TNT boys and also meet Bigfil. I haven't got round to uploading any photos yet but will get a link up later.
