Thought this was a really good show this year - good job there will be two next year. Was good to put some faces to names and see cars in the metal.
Funniest bit for me was trying to get Bean's name right after the announcer guy had messed it up. Must have taken me about eight attempts before she wrote it down for me! Nice car and a worthy winner.
Plus I got back without the Sprite breaking down!!

lol the announcer didnt have a clue. Was good to see you mate, and glad you liked the cars and stand. Roger said next time your over here he will take you out in the mini and he will take you for a propper drive lol

Good new about the sprite, still think you should have auto'd it LMAO

Wait til you see it Pie! You'll be jealous!

LMAO what see it, pass it and then see it getting smaller and smaller until its a spec in the rear view mirror? 4th gear at 27MPH?! i think the word clarkson would use is "POWER"

I didn't mean to leave you behind.

It was okay, unfortunally I didn't know which juction to get off so I just got off at J11. Big mistake!

The traffic in Cheltemham was awful and the traffic lights were very slow! Should have got off at J10, next time I'll actually check the map before setting off.

Generally had loads of problems with traffic on the way back, took me 3 1/2 hours insted of the 2 1/2 it took on the way up. It could have gone much worse I guess.

Your exhaust hangs very low, doesn't it?

Aww dont pick on Jeff's sprite, it's been a reliable workhorse for the mag - we'd be lost without it!! lol

Was a good show and nice to meet some of you guys. I can't believe how many people came up to me congratulating me on passing my test!!

Nice to see your cars too.

That it does. Hence my big issue with speed humps.

Ahh well it didn't knock or touch the ground when i had both Pie and dog in the mini so i'm sure its okay

[Dog]

What did every get then?

• I got a new grille for the Van, as I have a sneaky plan to stop me loosing the skin on my knuckles...
• A garden Mini
• Show plates
• 2 mugs - one is from my club, the other is just a random mug i liked
• Cylinder head hose take off thingybob
• A Toy Van
• Gear box gater
• New roll pins

Not worked out how much I've spent, but I've saved loads by haggling
