10K+ Poster!!
Was a good weekend, I'm burnt to fook.
That green supercharged nova was possibly the shittest car there, thank god they didn't run it as I've heard you can walk faster. Awful standard of finish bullshitted up with some airbrushing !
Same quick cars there as normal, tbh was a bit dissapointed with the turnout and lack of new machinery, the regulars were quick quick, the piece of crap green nova me and a mate had a year or so ago would of took on just about everything else.
Cars of the day on the strip were Chris Suttons Corsa, seriously impressive and clearly getting quicker, the Viva van and the Chevette.
As far as the stands went there was a white corsa let on black Mo's that was very nicely put together by the looks of it, very very tidy.

Its massively biased towards standard and subtley modified cars, and with an emphasis on strip performance.
Like any show there are a few chav motors, but they are the exception not the rule.
I would wager that the average time up the quarter is hire than on the RS owners day.
Of the lads I know well who were tere
11.4 - corsa n/a + gas
11.4 - corsa turbo
11.3 - tigra turbo
11.7 - vauxhall xe twin engined mini
12.5 - bedford van - xe turbo
As for the comments about reliability, ive only been to every PVS so far, so maybe that doesnt match the imagined ones that Sp3no has been to, but on all the ones Ive been to reliability has been very good, in fact this year I watched most of the strip action for example and I didnt see a single major failure.
Few missed gears or some drips of oil was as bad as it got!
If you want unreliable, then go to the RS day and watch rwd cossies spitting their diffs out left right and chelsea
