Few big v8's running low 10's, fiat 126 v8 is awesome! White Escos running 11's, few saffs in 12's, and a few muppets blowing their engine up and running the whole length of the strip shutting it for ages ...

I also am sunburnt to fuck, and tired, and smell of burn-out!! But a great day so far!

there were at least 3 cars that dropped oil/water/crap on teh track and then they shut the lanes down for up to half an hour at times to clean up

the commentator wasn't assumed, but i think he's a bit of a twat anyway

it was a mega mega turn out though, just got back, took me 2 hours as the M1 was fucked southbound so i cut through all the back streets

not big pf meet up though, pity

the car i was most impressed with was the new gtr the 12.?? it pulled with only a 101mph terminal it pulled off the line like it was being shot out of a cannon but looked effortless if it has that much grip off a launch it must be crazy in the bends

loved the grey a1 motorsport 3 door its such a cool looking car not to shabby either
