Yes! Just back from it.

Our man simon had a problem Bent valves on the way to the AVA this morning. Me and a few of the lads got him going again, and he set of for the 80mile run home without getting the car on the rollers, not heard if he got home without bother though.

On the plus side, WHAT A CAR!! that thing is insane! just so balls out, everything about it is proper nuts.

Simon comes across as a very experianced an clever fellow, all the wee touches on the car are very cool! Hats off to him

Excellent day aswell, some lovely motors about, Wullie Young's S1 in particular

It was a good day. Lots of interesting cars which put on a good show

Pisser about Simons though, as said above, the thing is mental It's changed ALOT since its feature.

I met loads of new folk too Oh, and Dan@FastFord it was me asking how your face was... I'm shit and always forget to say who I am

Wull's car won car of the day

Just in from AVA and it was a good day.

Met Simon this morning about 8:30 for the run from falkirk to AVA, and his car was flying, REALLY fast.

Im usually pretty good at guessing the power cars make at AVA and I would estimate it about 330 ATW considering it was taking the piss out of the evo I was driving that made 252 ATW.

I didnt even know he had a problem until we pulled into the AVA car park.

Only got a few pics as I was too busy chatting to everyone
