just got back myself, not much in the way of traders nobody hd a full hose kit for my cossie , seems the decline continues and why was it that everywhere I went I could smell dope Loads of club cars though and how good did all those Focus RS's look first time I have seen that MK1 twin cam, awsome

didn't seem to be much of a demand for the strip and where were all the escort cossies i think they are becoming more like ornaments like my own the one I did see run did it in 15+ secs

saw a lovely blue escort cossie on the m1 on the way back N200 *** it was bloody loud

anyone know the story with the silver celica running in 20+ secs he looked like he was on the way to the shops

Had you got a passenger for the 13.9 run? Actually, I guess not actually as it's the Pod - it looks like the Autocar figs were reasonably close for 2 up and a tank of fuel though
