Was an excellent day, a show i've personally loved going to for some years now, was nice to have my first RS there too this time!



A low point of the weekend though was our mate Brett's diff going in the Mk2 Mex, a proper car with a proper driver, just rebuilt and that happens! Felt for him as when I spoke to him friday night he was buzzing with excitment about going out on track with it and doing some rides for charity, in the end I think he only got about 20 laps in!

Roll on next year though!

Do you think that is true mate i thought your car lacked a little power even on the straights have seen many a 500bhp cosworth go round very quick indeed Bruce reed cossie comes to mind awesome driver but fair play was good day great to see the xyz car sorry abc did sound very nice
