Just setting off, weather is really bad here, what's it like there?
Jim
Moderately moist!  :grin:

May we respectfully request some moderately moist gossip and pictures, please.  :grin:

Pictures = None. Didn't take a camera and it pissed down all morning anyway. My photography skills are zero.

Gossip = Met up with Jim and jmsheahan from the forum, we walked, we talked, I was tired from having been at work all night so was probably just spouting my usual twaddle. Only 3 mk6 GTIs there plus the Milltek Golf R (so two silver and two white mk6s). The show was very quiet but was still good. We got piss wet in the morning yet I came home with a sunburn and half the skin falling off my nose thanks to the combined efforts of the sun and my manflu. Some excellent cars and driving on the track but we elected to merely spectate rather than try and blag rides.
Interesting car of the day had to be the 6N Polo with the electric forklift truck engine. Silent apart from the sound of wheelspin when the driver put his foot down!!
