[NovaNeil]

lol, the safety car was absolutely flying when one of the officials took it out! Just goes to show that any car with the right driver can be awesome!!! Remember Top Gear two weeks ago when that Bird whopped Clacksons ass around the Nurburgring with her first go in the Jag :lol:

Good Pics Chris

bruce

[karl Rowntree]

Thanks chris, great pictures mate :wink:

I am afraid i didnt get any pictures apart from mine and edds parked up. We were allways to busy either putting more petrol in mine or trying to stop eds leaking water and oil, or stopping it from going up in flames! :lol:

Karl

Nah mate it was nice and warm, I have done 11 miles by that point. The temp guage only works when it wants to. Not bad for a standard 2.0 8v

[karl Rowntree]

lol at me showing off chris.

It was the first time i had both cars togeather at the same time, now that the nova lives on the other side of town :wink:

Was good to see my dad driving the evo down aswell, i think he had a good day in it as when i got home there was quarter of a tank in and i had filled it up for him. He had only done approx 100 miles :o

Ha ha, that doesnt beat matt, he did 62 miles to a tank when we did a scatter rally. And I was map reading lol, I found it best not to look at the road!! :?

[scott.parker]

lol just found thes pics,yeah mine's not been washed or cleand from curborugh,and that was october 16th, i think,but i dont use it everyday,so im not fused,plus there is no point washing it that day,as it got coverd in crap on the way up(on the private road doing 140 against a volvo s40) :lol: ..

And its still dirty now,and probably will be for mk meet as well :lol:

Karl,funny thing was your mum said to me,yeah hes a lucky boy,not most people get to have a nice car let alone two..and i said yeah hes gready,lol

She said well hes not got a girlfreind so he can afford it,i said dam right you got to get the prioritys right,spend the money in the car,lol.. :D

Yeah i hade the best day so far in my car,think it's two reasons..
1. i only use it for weekends or events,so forget what its like to drive,making it more fun..
2. the feel of the car was so good to drive that day,as my new shocks did the trick,and made me feel so much more confidence in the car..

Good pics mate.

:lol: Damn i told my mom not to speak to anyone, she has a habbit of embarassing me :oops:

Though she is right, theres no way i could do it if i had a female in the equation.

Turns out my dad had the car up to 120 on the way there and backed off as my mom gave him an ear full!

Track days scott, they are the way forward for our cars, i think thats why i am thinking of not insuring or taxing mine for the road again.
