Default Central day ( show virgin perspective )

as a show virgin i was really looking forward to central day cos i'd not actually been to an RS show before ....shame on me

after working till 10pm saturday night getting the car back together , i didn't think i'd make it cos the front wheels were towing in badly ( blaming it on all the new suspension bits ) anyway adjusted it by 5mm and and test drove it and all was fine , central day here we come . set off with me bro, a mate and the missus and managed to blow a boost hose off on the motorway , and wondering whether the rain was coming, thought it's not gonna be my day . sorted the hose and carried on and with every rs turbo and cossie we saw on the m'way i just couldn't wait to get there. pulled in and found my way around to the passionford stand and parked the fez up. sorry i didn't speak to any of ya but with me mates and missus in tow i was kept busy will talk next time. was very impressed with the standard of cars on the stand and it was good to see them in the flesh. never saw who won the prizes for best car on stand and runners up though ?

had a good walk around and saw some fantastic cars and generally the standard was absolutely superb, although i did see some sheds

the racing was also sweet as and especially impressed with the dolly

this was my first show and will not be the last, even the missus loved it and can now see why i had to work til gone ten saturday night!!! only downside was the rain on the way home, which for a bufty who actually drives my car and not trailers it everywhere was pretty annoying.

all in all f*&$ing quality day!!

p.s my camera broke so if anyone has any pics of my fez and the rest of the pf stand that would be great

I believe Adams White ERST won PF stand car

What he won is anyones guess, but I suppose I could chuck in something if there was no actual prize

Glad you had a good day, good to read stuff like that when I couldn't actually make it

yeah i remember your car!!! mine had the rear disc conversion but i think the one next to mine did aswell. mine was the one with standard bodywork ( the other one had big bumpers and a roof spoiler ) and had the bonnet up most of the day, although my mate said not to cos you never know who might walk past and tea leaf bits out the engine bay!!

thanks for the comments guys, makes it worthwhile owning a 15 yr old car . was planning on entering concourse this year but not too sure to be honest, seems to be dominated by people who trailer their cars to shows? i appreciate they wanna keep it clean but it is a car and it is supposed to be driven!!

R4N S S ; he was telling me he wanted to run the noz but was a bit worried bout his new box not being ran in enough i think he said. must be a lethal car once rolling he mentioned steel rods and 2 bar of boost on his shopping list so is gonna be awesome
