Alright T, thanks for the reply, are you meeting anyone else along the a45? would be more than happy to drive up, meet you for a pass and then follow you all down to the pod. What time and place would be good?

Failing that, I will ring you and pick one up there (although it does mean parking with chav's for a while, bet the public car park is full of corsa's and saxo's, with the chav's looking for hks stickers to put on their cars to make them go faster! lol. Am thinking of playing them at their own game and putting VRX stickers on my 2! lol).

Be my first event with the IMOC, looking forward to meeting you all.

Toni, just realised I sent you my work address for the pass... #-o Will have to try get into the office sometime tomorrow now as I forgot to check mail/packages when I got back this evening... :roll:

I will only be getting there shortly after lunch due to a double booking with another local event. Keep a spot open for a scabby MKIa 8)

Jap Show RWYB result!!!!

Simon with NOS MK1 got a 15.1 1/4 mile - so well done!!! =D> =D> =D>
This is with a totally std T-bar, complete with tow bar! nothing stripped out inside and std engine. Makes me wonder how fast he would go if the car was lighter.

Also Philip with s/c MK1 = 15.3 1/4 mile on his first ever run! =D> =D>

Great show as usual - but poor early IMOC turnout - where were all you lazy bones!

Toni - great car, saw loads of people trying to work out what it was! lol

Yeah sorry mate, at that kind of show we tend to put the cars on the stand then bu88er off to watch the action! :D

Come again and meet us, we're all nice really, LOL.

Jimbob - yeah I saw you'd ended up on the J-Tuner stand. It's looking good btw!

I had a brilliant afternoon. Some very quick cars and some impressive results from the MKI's 8)

Was good seeing some of the "oldies" again and a couple of new faces too 8)

bu88er! Woke up on my mates floor at 12:45pm on sunday, realised i was in plymouth, and gave up on the idea of trying to make it up there (i have enough points as it is!). So much for my 4am start! lol.
Will make more effort next time (and drink less red wine! lol)
