Just got home from the above at Rockingham. Really enjoyed it! So glad i took part 8) Great atmosphere, met some really nice people too :thumleft: Was an awesome experience seeing those many "2"s all together and it made it more interesting being split up into sections according to the colour of our cars. Must say ( IMO ) there were more black "2"s than any other colour. Mind you it was v close as to whether there "might" have been more red ones :lol: :lol: :whistle:
I would hazard a guess that around 250 cars turned up. Shame really as i saw the list on here for approx 450 to turn up :roll:
I've taken lots of pics so i'll pick the best and post them on here later :thumleft:

Unfortunately I don't think it was a record :( I believe Lotus did one of these recently and got 313! :shock: I believe we got 296, how close is that! ](*,)

Anyway it was a super day and nice to meet up with loads of friends! :thumleft:

EDIT: Here's one, will resize the rest later:

Mods feel free to move it :lol:

Was a great day, we certainly have the record for the most MR2's in a rolling convoy, but if Lotus have got 313 then obviously we were just shy!!

Apoligies for the few that I led the wrong way on way to the infield :oops: I blame the guy in front who ragged it off and the lack of signs :lol:

We got there in the end though :thumleft:

Many thanks to the organisers, and congratulations whatever the 'official' view - getting that many MR2s together in one place was great, so well done to you guys for all the work you put in!

Going to go sort out the photos and see what the video from the bullet cam was like now... :)


Edit: I must add, it was great to catch up with the members again after such a while - and of course to finally get a chance for a proper drive in the MR2... it's been a long winter...
Although not too happy about the granny who almost drove into the side of me when I was on the motorway when she decided to overtake another car... :evil: Damned motorways.

Great day out, Emma and I really enjoyed it despite being knackered after celebrating a friend's birthday on Saturday evening..

It was just amazing too see a sea of Mr2s! That little tunnel to get back to the carpark was great as well, my 1.5 sounded awesome on full boost through there!

I was well chuffed because there was Fiat Uno racing (I own and uno turbo) and also alfa 75s out on track...quality!

:thumleft:

Thanks to all who attended and especially the organisers, you did a really good job :D

Yes, a big thank you to the organisers, I really enjoyed myself! :D

Ollie, good to see you and Emma. Still haven't had a drive or even a passenger ride in a 1.5 :( . Hope to fix that soon! :thumleft:
