Top day and cheers for coming lads!

Must agree, but the cars on show was WELL minters!

A bit stressed in the morning, due to a large number of no-show'ers, but after a rally around the car park with the help of Mike (cheers!!), we filled some of the space.

We had 2 local RS200's coming but they called off at the last minute. I had planned a nice area for them too.

Rog, you weren't the only one liking the Evo's..... I was loving that Red one D2 NLD. The red and black bits just looked perfect.

Paul......you've forgot to mention that you got a trophy........!

I got 1st place in show & shine which was a shock!

I'm really after a Canon EOS 350D / Digital Rebel XT. Thats the camera Fraz took his pics with. I've been using a Canon EOS 35mm for years, but really fancy the SLR version. Some super pics you can get too.

No problem Robin, was quite chuffed as i've not been able to have any of my cossies at the show for the last few (quite alot actually) years due to them either being broke or being offshore. Was good to attend and catch up with some old faces

And here's me thinking I was the only one who bricked it when I heard my car reg being read oot! I mentioned that to Mo when I walked up for my prize!

The trophy is now on the top shelf of the cabinet along with my 1:18 3dr model.

Yep, that was me in the saph, we weren't sure if you just blindly followed us or knew where you were goin, car looks nice and mean on the dark wheels!!

we came out onto the A90 right behind you, was going to have a wee blast to play for a bit but that road's a nightmare for cameras!!



there was a speed trap a few miles before Forfar , not sure if they had a gun or a camera.............

hopefully a gun........or a couple o us are gettin tickets through the door!

You would have thought that was the case, but there was only about 5 trailers outside!
