Firstly a BIG thanks to Craig ( The Doc ) and the staff at Carbon chip tuning also Dom for doing a LOT to help craig out with the organising :afro:

so after a stupidly early start and collecting the guest RR driver  :undecided: we arrived and the place was deserted  :shocked:



still the sun was out and we got a good parking slot  :smiley: next to a VERY smart looking van :afro:




so after starting off with a Mk5 with some missing ponies  :grin: :laugh: the bar was set for the day.



Next up was a leaking honda  :huh:



then back to a Mk4 , which everone thought was a tad poorly, til the Doc changed a setting and the 1.8t returned to a good output  :grin:



which was followed by a Pug which decided to mark its territory with some oil when on the rollers  :shocked: :lipsrsealed:



Next up was the first of 2 lowered Mk2's this one went on easily



to be continued . . . . . . . .

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

next up was the first of 3 red mk3's, all which performed well  :cool:



then as a few people werent there, i slung the old wagon on, but as I was a long way from home and she is clocking the miles on craig let topher spin her up  :shocked: :laugh: but she is running very well apparently :afro:









next up was a mk5 with only a few missing ponies



followed by a standard looking but ABF'd Mk2



then the fun and games began . . . . . . . ..

This was the moment that craig had been dreading, and with VERY good reason  :lipsrsealed: but he was encouraged to crark on and finally we had success











but it was a TEAM effort to get it back off the rollers  :laugh: :grin:



then back to a easily loaded Mk2 - a mate of craigs i think



followed up by Mr Lens of Blue himself



Then another Mk5, this time with only a couple of ponies having bolted



then it was time for the newest car of the day to grace the rollers



follwed up by Doms Mk3 which was a VERY successful run and one very happy owner



Then it was time for a bit of RWD action and it put ALL the mk5s to shame and had lost a whole PADDOCK full of ponies  :lipsrsealed:



and then the last car of the day to finish off the trio of red mk3 8 valves



and some randoms of the ever changing car park





Again, great day, thanks to all who made the effort in attending and organising. :afro:
