After going every year for neigh on 10 years thought give the 5am start a miss this year, just to see the same cars and 'ooo another cosworth, oh look another cosworth, look at that shite 1.1 fiesta with a tonne of fibreglass attached to it again' so had a lay in instead, maybe I'm getting boring in my old age

Spent the day staring at these Army training houses in Wales, much more interesting



And then once every hour looking after my mates car whilst in service.



Sadly we couldnt get that burnt out tank in the background re going.

The whole idea of wandering around shows freaks me out
