Default National ~Day

first complaint.. I never one the cossie not overly bothered as it was a little shabby

Was a good day IMO.. no ques as not really that many people there in com parison to previous years... normally sunshine, so weather probably had a big inpact...

Where is Bailey's car these days.. used to love seeing that blast round..

Saw plenty of cars I recognised... few wearing the NMS stickers, think it was Tim and Ollie.. also, saw who I think is Paddys' white RST giving them two a good run for there money, from what it looked like.. Dingy Rainbird blasting round..
Had a quick walk around, but didnt see the PassionFord stand.. Probably walked straight past it..

Food prices were ok, but the Bun I had was mouldy

Cant really see it being a great day for the Traders due to lack of people..

I work in London.. 3.50 for a sausage baguette isnt so bad To be fair, one of my mates bought loads of food with him, for us all.. As we refuse to spend 20 quid on food each So I only bought a Hot Dog.. Ł2.80.. which is fair enough

3 quid a pint of piss water was a bit steep tho

I never saw the Passion Ford stand either, where was it ? As for traders not making much today - bought a new Mongoose exhaust from Rapid Ford, top guy was Dan, and i managed to source a brand new grill for my 3door Cossy for Ł20 - bargain as i really needed it too - i actually enjoyed the day despite the weather.

yeah Dan's a top guy.. sorted me a few bits in the past.. cheap

I see a Red Escos hammering it around the track.. screamed sounded wicked.. must be pushig out a few bhp..

and was also good to see RS200 having it..

just this show was nothing compared to previous years.. must just be the sunshine.. Needs a 0-60 too, for something else to watch

Still, enjoyed it..

Not on your own there mate!

it was defo more quite than last year only 4 cars passed me on the
way down and not one of them flashed or said hello!

thats probably because i was driving a Honda Jazz

Plus i thought there was a lot more Chavs there this year
I've been for the last 5 years and i've never seen people
drinking strong bow at 9.30 in the morning


Still enjoyed it though the track action was amazing
did anybody enjoy the RS Stunt display? I Did

I had a wicked day too! Was able to put some names to faces which is always a good thing

Rain held off which was a bonus too.

Worst thing about the day was that i had been watching Andy R in his Evo going round the track, taking pics etc only to be told on the way home by rudey that the evo i had been watching all day actually wasnt andys

So whoever you are that drives an evo with Russ or Ross in the window, i think you're a wicked driver
