got home last night....
face red... not sure whether that's sunburn or cos we were standing in the restricted pitarea when the jet car left..... I video footage from there, but it jumps in the middle cos I sh!t myslef when it took off (big smiley face here)

had a blinding day - Good crowd of people from the site. am currently building a 1/4 mile strip in my back garden to practise on...

Top respect to Gaz.... david and goliath style arse kickin on the strip!!!

(although the james bond style smoke screen he was laying down behind him might have something to do with it) (shocked smiley here)


When can we go again?

Rich - anytime mate! (winky smiley face here)

Title: Re:Back from Santa Pod
Post by: carrie on 13 July 2004, 17:34
the nice virtually new inner headlamps i bought there don't fit. the brackets are slightly different on mine DOH!!!!.
