Well, all started on Friday for me when we had a few visitors to my other halfs house, namely Atlantean, Morphiuz, Matt and Woko. Matt and Woko were on a curfew for the hotel (so they say ;) ) and Pete and Si spent the night at ours. Went out, had a few beers, came back, bed at about 0130 then up at 0500 ready to start the day.
Started out a bit chilly when we got there just after 7, soon warmed up and action started. Great turn out, shame the organisers at Combe (not Morph i hasten to add) cant organise a piss up in a brewery and had the daftest pitch marking system that nearly caused a bit of a ruckus with the next club along (who had actually jumped into another clubs space, just as well that club didnt turn up) but got sorted eventually (after a fashion)
Some great cars both on our stand (Petes Monza and Fluffs Vectra standing out), on the track and on the various stands, fantastic sun, good (if somewhat overpriced) food and my personal favourite part being the drifiting sessions, clips of which i will post when i get home.
Only downer of yesterday was Morphs car breaking down. I know a few people will say the usual 'what again, how surprising' but to be fair, it was a fairly minor thing that simply could not be sorted in an hour or so with a couple of spanners (apparently)
Recovery came and went when the driver discovered that the cavalier was a bit low so went back for no.11, a 7.5 tonner and, well, ill let the video do the talking (i did speak to si about this and this is in no way a dig at him in anyway)

As i said, ill drop some pics and vids in this thread when i get home and have my leads with me.
Thanks to all involved in the event, great turnout and great to see you all again.
Finallly, thanks to Pete for finally bringing his MOnza over, definatly a gorgeous classic (and thanks for the bits ;) )
