Last time I was there, also about 3 years ago.

I had a little traffic-light G.P with a Supra and ended up doing a 360 spin in the middle of the road ](*,)

Wasnt you was it Tiny :?:

It's started to get a bit better now, as was understandably quite quiet over winter.

Come down and see what you think, quite a few of us off SXOC have started going down there again.. usually meet up and say hi, look around at the cars then pop to the pub round the corner for a drink (The Swan in Three Mile Cross, literally about 2 mins drive down the road :thumleft: )

Well if we did have a T.G.P then you would remember as I embarrassed the Supra from the lights.

It was very wet, I was about a length in front when I did a 360 spin and nearly took the front of the Supra out with me, (luckily didnt hit anything in the end)

Stopped in the same lane as I started the spin in, pointing the right way with my nose just sticking out into a roundabout. :shock:

A mate who was behind me in a white R32 Skyline along with 3 other of my friends said it looked like I had it all in control, trust me I didnt LOL.

:? well what a turnout :-s

Saw your car stealthy went over to say hi and asked the bloke who got out if they were stealth from IMOC to which i was told dont know what your on about.

Myself, Nikaiyo and another chap who wasnt even planning on going but just ended up there meeting a friend were the only MR2s there apart from Stealths and a proper Dog of a rev1 white mk2 na.

Major chav fest if the noise from all the corsas and other non jap cars doing 40+ mph round the carpark like a bunch of morons didnt put you off then the constant stink of weed did.

One to avoid =;

Yeah my car was there :wink: but I let my mate have a go so he would have been in the drivers seat (I hope Julie doesn't see this, I wont let her drive it), he didn't say anything about you coming over :roll:

Evening all,

I made the trip accross to meet a mate of mine in the 350z owners club, and I am glad I bumped into you guys as I think it may well have been a much shorter night otherwise!

Hope to see you around,
Ian.

It's cold and dark.. you're not going to get as good a turnout as in the summer..

I didn't see any chav's driving about..??

And it is a PUBLIC carpark.. so there are going to be non jap cars around I'm afraid.. nothing we can do about that is there.. :roll:

Cool to see you Matt :thumleft: If you're about next Weds we're going up to Windsor for a couple of drinks :thumleft:

Thanks Lou, good to see you too :thumleft: . Not seen any of you guy for ages apart from MIP

Going to Windsor would be awesome can I convoy with you guys as I'm rubbish with directions :roll:

Also what time are you going? I'm having an alarm fitted to the 2 at 3pm, not sure how long it will take :? but I guess I could bring the celica if it's not done.

just after you arrived two guys got out one wearing a beanie hat. my car was opposite a black s14.

Turnout was good easily 25+ jap cars just the 40 odd corsas and 106s fiestas other chav sheds all intermingled with the Jap cars. For example the Tw@ in a red bmw who thought that parking next to my mr2 by 20 feet away from the space just ramming his handbrake on so he skidded to a stop getting out with a proper poo eating grin on his face saying that was close. :pale:

I didn't see any chav's driving about..??

You must have missed the burnouts, 40-50mph driving round a carpark, with lots of kids running about i saw 2 emergency stops becuase of small children running about then hearing some ridiculous name being called after them courtney chardonnay etc, people doing Stupid speeds up and down the straight outside and the heavy fug of weed everywhere.

I must have been at a different madjeski stadium retail park with a macdonalds a KFC and a pizzahut. =;

I was the one wearing the hat, thinking about it I did have someone ask me if I was on the mr2 owners club but I thought you meant mr2oc not imoc ](*,) what a great first impression you must have of me :oops:
Also I was partly deaf after taking the nur spec on the motorway :clown:
