Just spoke to him and he appologises, he's working away but will send you some money when he gets back to the Hotel.

If anyone is en route with us (me/tcrichton/flames247) and fancies convoying up please let me know

This is what google says although i'm not entirely convinced the m25 is the best bet?

We are heading up sunday morning, no agreed time yet

Best route is up the A34 rather than M25 heading from the South.

Yep, more people the better..... a Z'd cruise on the way to the show will be awesome

Fantastic show guys, nice to meet a few of you and put faces to names!. Sorry I wasn't on the stand much ended up stuck in the 1/4 mile queue for 3 hours inbetween the dragster crash and the light rain to dry up

Thanks to Ian for organising, what a fantastic turnout!

Going to get a few hours shut eye and attach my storm gearknob properly (minus the gum!!)

snatch · Post by **snatch** » Sun 10 Jul, 2011 20:08

Ian
topman top day
thank you

Badman gee · Post by **Badman gee** » Sun 10 Jul, 2011 20:32

good to meet some great people.

go home at 8, decided to clean the beast before bedtime,

ended up hoovering washing and a coat of wax, kiss goodnight

fantastic day wont forget this one, thanks Ian for the organisation.

gookah · Post by **gookah** » Sun 10 Jul, 2011 20:37

Nice to see some old faces and some new,
Great day. thanks for organising Ian.... from us all!!!

tcrichton · Post by **tcrichton** » Mon 11 Jul, 2011 09:26

Thanks Ian! Fantastic day!

Great to meet some of you, I too was sitting in the line up for the 1/4 mile for 3 hours.

Turns out Shanty's S54 is .1 of a second quicker than my S50 after some thorough testing

Enjoy the rest of the summer motoring all!

Tris.

shantybeater · Post by **shantybeater** » Mon 11 Jul, 2011 09:32

I still think the s50 in yours is a freak! infact this gives me some basis to believe that! .1 of a second is not 20hp!!

We will have to do a rolling road together at some point

macca · Post by **macca** » Mon 11 Jul, 2011 16:07

Why did you have to wait for 3 hrs on the strip?
P.S. Thanks for organising Ian. We met some nice people.

It closed for lunch for half an hour then it rained for a bit then they had to dry the track out.

My fastest time was 14.2sec @ 97mph in my Z4 3.0si Coupe

maurice the martian · Post by **maurice the martian** » Mon 11 Jul, 2011 17:44

Hi Daz,nice to meet you yesterday,my fastest run ended up @92.7mph in 14.9sec,not bad for a 3.0 auto,you certainly showed me how to do it on our first run SMOKIN

Maurice

dazerc · Post by **dazerc** » Mon 11 Jul, 2011 18:39

zedwheels · Post by **zedwheels** » Mon 11 Jul, 2011 18:44
