MR2 Only say thanks - Oh the Highs and lows of JAE!

Post by steveybMR2-173 »

Got to say all things considering, a) the nasty weather and b) my own personal misfortune, our first MR2 Only JAE was a brilliant weekend, shame we couldnt get much time to socialise as much as we wanted to, we have 2 x 1gb camera cards full of photos though, highlights of which have to be the MR2 OC calender shoot organised by Bevs, what an absolute laugh, althrough innocent onlookers must of wondered what the hell was going on, with me taking photos of half naked fellas draped over MR2s, thought I was a photographer for Gay MR2 Only (no offence meant to anyone btw! lol)

Also great to see the MR2 Village guys enjoying themselves at their Hawaian party despite the monsoon! chatting with the Dutch guy, my blast in the 250bhp Mk1 Supercharger, and meeting Perrys wife for a chat and to photograph his awesome Lambo orange Roadster for his tribute feature. And of course the Tug O War!

Also a massive thanks to everyone that came over to our MR2 Only stand and gave us words of encouragement and bought a few mags, resubscribe etc etc, and it was great to put more names to faces and cars to user names etc etc, awesome how high the spirits were considering the downpours of rain we had.

Hears to next year!! thumbs up

Thanks Ian (Ianskiman) for being the grim reaper and confirming to me that I have probably a broken piston on my tubby, have to big up the RAC for my ride home, not quite how I had planned JAE to end, but at least I got to have a few pints in the Harvester to sit and reflect on the weekend while I waited for the tow home!

Will be uploading all of our photos taken at JAE this evening to www.mr2only.com please feel free to cut and paste them here etc

Yeah! gutted we missed out on the Pig, Anna and Lisa had been dispatched out to fetch our supply of alcohol, and couldnt start the mk1 up outside the supermarket, cos the ignition is fiddly, so we had to wait on the stand for them, when they got back the pig was no more! lol

ha ha, yes got some quality photos, all will be uploaded this evening, who was it dancing in the rain putting on a lighting show with glo sticks?

Nice photos.

Typical that the link for the only photo of mine (20070116.JPG) isn't working :cry:

Its only that I want a new background - my current one of the restoration show gang has been up for a while now.

Yup - nice photos Steve! All that wandering around paid off!

I had to laugh a bit though - there's still no photos of me or my car (including some other forums)... I'm beginning to think I didn't make it to JAE this year... :lol:

You should've gone a bit closer on the tug of war. They didn't mind us wandering onto the pitch (I went a bit too close though as I got told off! :) ) and there were some great faces being made there... :)
