Cracking weekend, i had lots of fun both camping and PVS day.

well, packed the car as full as i could and was impressed with how much it could take. no longer can coupes be called low in space.





On the way i passed by Jodrell Bank, well armed with my new camera, i just had to stop and try out my amateurish skills. gotta start somewhere.

i love the close up of my bonnet with jodrell in the background.

So eventually turned up at PVS being a tad bit angry about what some PVS go'er did to me and a few other on the motorway, but thats another story.
parked up with the yorkies, simply because i was on phone with jayne about where to park.
and heres some pics of the night.

Yes i took these pictures to hopefully solve the purple/blue discussion of the corsa.




Yes thats right, it says "Its Fu**ing Blue".

Jayne's Niece trying to hide, so she picked the boot to hide in.....it didnt work



Well after much drinking, and some eating, including my mouth watering salmon and garlic butter with a splash of Balsamic Vinegar which made a few of them jealous (yes i like my tasty food while camping) and a bit of clubbing and laughing i went to bed to wake up jsut a few hours later to get ready for PVS.

after seeing a slightly disgruntled whitebullet at my rubbish time keeping (an hour late) they agreed i looked...trashed.

On the way home i had a bit of a bad drive. i was extremely tired and i was stopping off every 30mins at each service to take a break. when i neared home i heard my bed calling. but with an urge to collect a last few pictures.

but i cant show u them. :)

all in all i had an excellent time and i thank all who recommended PVS to me
and to all that made the weekend excellent.

Got any more details on that Vectra Ecotec turbo , running bigger turbo and sweet looking engine .

Good to see you again buddy. Glad you enjoyed the weekend.

I think the best advice I can give about photography is look at what other photographers do (pros and established ameteurs), practice composition, learn the functions of the camera, what they do to the photos and practice using them.

I must've missed that one! :eh
It's not a common conversion, I know that much, there's a few C20LETs about, but not seen many Z20LETs, if any...

If I'd spotted what it was, I'd've been after the owner with a few questions... :Cool2:

Same engine as yours BTW... ;)

Oh yeah and had a really scary problem on the way out of PVS. i removed my key from the ignition in the queues coz the annoying door open buzzer was going off. and steering lock immediatley went on. then i needed to move my car a bit and the key wouldnt undo the steering lock. panic panic.

it jsut would not turn, tried forcing it n all sorts. Branny to the rescue as he was only a few cars up. he tried and it still woudlnt work. he then sprayed some WD40 intot he key hole and it didnt work, a bit after and im panicing like mad with sweat rolling off ym brow. and i sprayed some more wd40 in their. and somehow it jsut turned. the key didnt leave the steering wheel after that till i got home.

Cheers branny.

:lmao:, this may sound like a daft question but did you try moving the steering wheel while turning the key?
