i had a quality weekend, camping was a laugh despite being carried into the gazebo,

driving in the mud was fun almost like being a crab as i was sliding sideways not forwards,

did the rwyb, first run could have been better but only got off the start as my throttle cable came off ;D but after was fine. didnt get any pictures and had to leave my tent there as it was full of water and mud

Just tried to upload the vid. It only lasts about 2 mins but it has been uploading for about 10 mins. Have I done something wrong or is this normal??

I thought it was brilliant, the mud only added to the fun. The noise of the jet car was amazing! It was my first MITP but I'm definitly going next year.

Thanks to Chris and Ruby for taking me, just what I needed right now :ermm:


:- will be there next year on the drag strip ;D

How miffed was I? Loaded up the truck with my nice new interior from Huddersfield minis (door cards, cobra leather seats etc) sun was shining, wallet was lighter,everything was good) that was until the bloody heavens opened on the M6 on the way home. Seats are now drying out nicely in the conservatory! Sod it.

130 Pictures of the event on my photo bucket account now.


i have about 40-50 videos which i will try and up load in the next couple of days....

please feel free to copy and paste any pics you like or even pictures of your cars or mates etc onto here. reason i didn't post them all is because there's so many...

lost went on and im sure your going to ask about Jammys tent being taped up... see pictures for that one...

now ive seen how things will be set out, next year TMF should have a larger presents there, and the stand will stand out much more.

thank you to Mr Pie for doing the stand and sue for getting the tickets for everyone. was a great event despite the Mud!

also nice to meet new members and hope to see you again...

Mark (the videos i have to upload are mint lol)
