'bit wet, but gives you wings,........

Heh heh......looking forward in seeing everyones pictures.

Despite the best efforts of both the weather and the organisers for putting us almost in the next field I really enjoyed the day, as always good to see some familiar faces and of course very welcome, new ones.

Hats off to Cass & Hollie for a monumental journey, nice one guys and take a bow Kev for stealing the show, after all your hard work it's time to reap the rewards

Thanks one and all for making the day a great one.

Yep, it was a good day despite the weather (somehow i've managed to end up with sun burn, or more likely wind burn).

I think it was a good turnout and I hope everybody had a safe journey home (What happened to Mike & Tracy?). Definitely a special mention to Cass & Hollie for coming all that way and hope you found it worthwhile and enjoyable.

The cars did look good especially considering the number of sheds of MKIV's that seem to be increasing at shows as time goes by

Kev's work definitely put a lot of other single installs to shame.

Unfortunately we had to leave at mid-day (lots of stuff needing done in the house, and I had work things to get on with as well), but we enjoyed the time we were there and it was good meeting everyone. I'll probably be spending more time at future shows, but this one just conflicted with a lot of other things I had to do.

I also finally made up my mind to keep with the colour I have and not go for QS, after seeing how Silver can look when detailed (Kev) and also not wanting to do the level of stripping required to completely change the colour after seeing Barney's. Whether that'll allow the re-spray costs to come down a bit I don't know, but we'll see.

At least the weather seemed to be improving for the afternoon, which was good.

Agreed, although my stock-look fetish pretty much rules out anything but a Mr T bodykit.

I had a real good time. I've been building up to yesterday for a few months now. Thanks for all the nice comments guys. We really do have some amazing looking cars in this club, a real credit to the owners on here!
I was a little sun burnt myself last night.
Cass and Holly have now left, and have around 8-10 hours of driving to do

Guyver · 17th May 2009, 04:28 PM

A few pictures for you.

Captions welcome.

Guyver · 17th May 2009, 04:32 PM

I do have some others but I haven't had a chance to remove the number plates.

Guyver · 17th May 2009, 04:36 PM
