Yep was amazing to dust the cobwebs off mine and put some miles on it.

Good to see you guys and finally meet Gary G and the Extreme guys. Plus yes the noise of all the guys was something else.

Well first time to use sexy red rexy in full anger but all in all happy with the performance although slightly spoilt by the slightly warped disc so difficult to find out the true performance of the new brakes in very greasy conditions.
Apparently I was winning the flame out competition going into riches corner LOL a rex without flames just isn't normal....
One slightly funny moment was tearing up the pit straight to suddenly spot the Rozzers on the pit wall with a speed gun.......yep I lifted Doh !
Anyone get any pics of me on track ? Would love to see them.
Top quality cars on BP again especially helped by Team Extreme
Good to see you all guys...look forward to further developments on my car now that I know what its really like.

Thanks so much for the support from you guys (who attended) today.

My day consisted of basic fettling to some of the nicest cars I know of. Tough life eh? :)

A V8 M3 for pre-sales prep
Basic exterior valet (plus engine bay)

Mark Moseley was brave/mad enough to drive all the way from Ipswich in this torque monster on drag road tyres.

The sound of thunder looks like this! Even on a stand with thousands and thousands of horsepower parked side by side, this Mustang kicked arse every time Phil turned it over and stamped it's authority on proceedings!

The brand new addition to Team Extreme, the 1400bhp 7 second Supra.

Probably the biggest turbo I have ever seen, let alone polished!

This R35 has already set records in it's first season and looks set to break more next year. I lost count of how many people asked me about it's legality, it's power output and engine. The interest level of this GTR was through the roof. A stunning piece of engineering

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/93963817@N07/10908973695/" title="2013-11-17 13.33.23 by Stuart Staples, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3740/1090 ... 58aa_c.jpg" width="800" height="478" alt="2013-11-17 13.33.23"></a>

The noise of this R35 was something special. The turbo's really quietened the engine down compared to the Mustangs but when Martin revved this, the V8 bellowed and the exhausts became rocket launchers!!

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/93963817@N07/10909002866/" title="2013-11-17 13.33.32 by Stuart Staples, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5485/1090 ... 601f_c.jpg" width="800" height="478" alt="2013-11-17 13.33.32"></a>

Two of the four aforementioned rocket launchers

The mighty, mighty EsCos of Matt Smith. I love the packaging of this car, the quality of the fit and finish........the whole damned thing

A couple of new members, David (S2000) and Paul (APT built Evo 7)

A couple of old members, Matt R34 and Drifter!!

Sorry I didn't take more photos. With car inspections for future work, a few mates that I was keeping tabs on who were driving on track, losing my keys and other things I was a bit, er, busy.

Great to see friends old and new though :thumbs:

I had a great day, It was such a welcome break to get away from doing the house and catch up with old friends. So nice to see that so many members made it as well.
Really glad that big phil and team extreme made the effort because like last year their top quality cars were a real crowd draw.
