I thought it was pretty good, I noticed Re-Mans car and also the track taxi - minus the stickers and probably a bunch of others on here whos cars I
didn't recognise.
I came home with a bunch of hozelock connectors, a piece of ally billet, an adrian flux pen and some back issues of CKC, oh and tired legs

I saw more interesting stuff 10 years ago than some of this twaddle!
But i did meet up with my old m8 Hicost, and also met Russ with the Formula 1 look alike
i was there by 0930 straight off a nightshift, and home by 1615. and its a 2.5 hour drive each way
twas a poor show, but in defence of the organisers, the weather was shite, and that must put off 90% of possibly entrants
I have to admit it was a lot weaker than I had expected, (I got there at 10 and was walking out by 1:30) but there were still a handful of inspiring
kits. I think the only thing I wanted to see that didn't turn up was the Murcielago MR2 bodykit.
Had I been building a kit the main hall would have held my attention a bit more though.

That orange and black R1OT in Coozers pics is a belter. Ivan (T66) and I drooled over it a few times!
Yes it was indeed, we argued over whether it looked better than the Mev rocket, which I think it did!
Heres another angle...
That riot does look very nice. I love the exhaust and spoiler. As i understand it they are quite light and well set up cars aswell. I wonder how good
weight distribution is with engine and driver so far back. Se7ens can achieve 50-50.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

A mates Riot is 49-51% front/rear distribution.
I had a good weelend.
Sat... Nice drive down avoiding the main roads. Good company for drinks Sat evening (Scott/Ivan Who do I owe for the pizzas?) but then got the ugly
date for the drive-in movie
Sun... Decent weather. Met too many people I knew to have a proper look around and spent most of the day chatting. Got some new break padsand a few
odds and sods. BBQ and booze on the JPSC in the evening.
Mon... Up early and pack n the dry. Proper look around the halls as it was quieter. Heard the rain on the roof Got backto puddles on the tonneu.
Managed to tip them in the car! Put the hood up and water proofs on and headed home. Weather improved once north of Brum'.
Bad... MEV stand looked a bit cramed in. Some empty spaces in the halls. Too many people to talk to.
Good... SR2 with the v8 LS1! Thats going to be a handfull and it's a nice chassis even if you gowith the standard MX5. GD's new T70moda
with the modular roof Stunning!

Good to meet you Adi!
Plugged in the iPhone to the computer when I got home and I appear to have taken a few blurred pictures of you driving your Fury upside-down! How did
you manage that!?

Oh, I'd forgotten about that. Did they never explain that you should keep the camera steady. Or did you just misunderstand and thought they
said, "Be the third passenger in a 2 seater car and hang upside down, off the back while it's doing doughnuts."
Got backto puddles on the tonneu.
