:D :D You need to ask the others how long it took me to get though...

That's a 15 second exposure from a bloody long way away, because the camera was sat on the nearest wall, and we were at the closest part of the carp park that'd fit us all in. On top of that, to get any colour into the bodywork of the cars, I had to walk into shot and light each of the cars with a torch (making sure I'm not lit by the torch, so I don't appear in the photo). Who carries a torch, eh? :D

Yeah, I only had the three with me :)

Next one should be a weekend, I think. Probably a different location - the food's gone downhill from last time I was there. No plans for when it will be yet, though.

Hi guys,

great to meet up last night, shame more couldn't make it but i'm sure there will be thousands next time. Rik you may need to buy more torches for that one mate!!

I agree with mikey the pub was ideal and had some very nice decore.... which of course he is an expert on! :wink:

Let me know when the next one is likely to be. who knows I may even have a NEW car by then...

cheers

Jim

Ha ha! I think you'd nail me in a fiesta bud with that ""big boy"exaust on the back. I did want to go earlier around that plodder but I was contious the centre res is covered in crap and didnt want to throw it all over the your bonnet. I need to get some driver time on a track and get up to speed. So may be we should do a local track day at thruxton od CC sometime??? Thoughts boyz?
In the menatime I can do a PM Sat or Sunday and then take a little spin down and over to Marlbrough or Wantage good run. Be good to watch some lines and makes some daylight comparisons in power delivery throught the range etc.

I think its a spot on location unless Mike knows somewhere further West ? Easy either way.

Its all the about the buckets mate ! I'm with you with on the decour and surroundings. Chicks love the buckets. And we can fit the little ol dog in the back and loosen up that knicker elastic somewhat !! :D

Cheers again all and a have a blinder of a W/E :wink:

Nice one guys was good to catch up. Jim had to nail it from lights so I could hear his V8 rumble :D

Nice pic btw. I did discover after parking next to mikey that it may have been lowered!

Whens the next one then?

Sounds like it was a good night. Shame I missed it. We need to organise the next one. I like the idea of a track day around Thruxton...
