Yeah, rub it in why don't you. I'm glad you all had a good day as the weather up here has been pants. Pi**ing down and foggy. I will probably make it next year though, so I'm looking forward to that. :grin:

Of them all, I would say Riv Run is the worst, but still a good day out. Not many people and traders want to travel all the way into deepest darkest pointy-head land. MITP and Coombe are very good days.

i thought it was a wicked day :lol:

the drive up was a good laugh, the show was pretty good, although as people have said, it does get a bit dull after many hours there!!!!

still a great show for the less experienced like myself!

shame you missed me nick! i guess my minis just too quick for you :thumbsup:

sadly.... i ended the day in a flat bed....

i was racong some silver 1275gt half the way home, just messing around, and it got prety hot towards the end, when i stopped at my girlfriends house steam started pouring out!!!!
it had split the bottom hose, the ehater take off had just snapped off!!
bugger
ah well, only took me 20mins to fix once id been taken home :lol:

top day out!

I had ag reat day, bought a few bits but

KILLER NECK SUNBURN

god it was hot, ouch, I just moved my head round too fast

Also I look like rodulph as it got my nose and cheeks as well (not as badly thankfully)

The only thing was that flat backed truck that kept revving and pouring loads of poo out onto the show peoples car's... the amount of people moaning about him wasnt true! Oh well! :lol:

I thought it was pretty cool, but as rich said its getting smaller everytime. Missed out on the cruise this year becuase my stomach took over. Was it any good?

Thumbs Up and roll on MITP and Coombe

:grin:
