I know Lee has some pics of Dan's and Mick's car going down the strip. That's about it though I think.

He also has a cracker of Magpie on the way down. winkeye

Great Saturday night, good to see you all again, my goodself and Topless thought long and hard over the Captains Chicken Burgers and puchased the best possible ones we could.

I'll have you know that they had at least 43% Chicken meat in them removed expertly with an angle grinder in outer mongolia from 50,000 different chickens :D :D

there was some very nice cars on the stand it was a shame most of them was all locked and i though that some of the members was not exactly frendly... apart from the owners of an two tone s50 turbo the m3 under the stand and light blue m3 these are the pepole that set a very good example for the zone and thing i hated the most was a group of members just slagging off other members cars that is not on
wierd... Marshalls will allow any E30 in usually, what were you driving ?

I think you will find that most zoners are very proud of their cars and won't allow anyone to mess around/ sit in them ect while they are not there... and chances are the slagging off was just freindly banter?

the council activities were rife ! probably the best laugh i have had in a long time,

I offered to get micks turd fixed up but he wants to make sure he gets home so it's staying on the truck, quite a spell of bad luck he's had this weekend :(

I was on the gate giving out show passes, between 8.30 & 11, unintentionally missed a couple (Simon13), but he still managed to get on the stand.

Had a great time yesterday, I meet the likes of Beemerlad, DaveD & Dezzy for the first time, thanks for the chat (Lee didn't look very well)!! Sorry to hear about Magpies Diff., he was in his element, going up & down the strip!
