Yeah was a good weekend. Saturday night was quite funny, i even chundered outside my tent which im sure some you heard! Hahahaha dont remind me, i had stereo snoring and stereo sickness from either side of my tent (did you hear me sniggering?) It was a good avon actually, no dodgems though No dodgems....No anything. I had a good weekend, but not because of anything that the BMC did. This event was great a few years ago, but now there is nothing there. No jet car, no dodgems, no traders, not many minis. We are seriously thinking of not going next year and going to MITP instead. The best thing I saw this year was two bikes ride down the middle lane only to get turned around and told to queue like the rest of us, that doesn't happen often enough. A real shame as I have only missed one mini showdown since the start. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

I still think that the sunday should be for Minis only between say 12 midday and 3pm. I was queuing up for a last run at 2.45-ish only for some poxy fucking scooter to bust on the strip and cause downtime.

had a great weekend, one or two bears on the saturday night Blooming heck, I though you were on the beer! that would explain the mess by you tent the next morning. I am also burn to a crisp, despite Loreal Factor 50 sun block, obviously I'm not worth it. I was most upset that there were no dodgems :( The commentator was a tad on the annoying side but I thought he was better that Zog. Rob PS Did anyone else consider it a bit anti social of that chap to fire up the Dodge at 8:00 in the bloody morning some 2 1/2 hours before the track opened? Edited by Rob H on 14th Jul, 2008.

Yes, I agree, I doubt I will attend next year, It was a very poorly planned and arranged event by the BMC. Which was expected.. |

(sorry if me starting it woke anybody but i needed some heat :$ ) i think i need to say hello to a few people at MITP because i stayed pretty out of the way this time. looked over alot of the cars but didnt really talk to anybody. im abit shy to randomly strat a conversation and plus everytime i was looking around people were either talking to others or busy working on their cars. will hopefully get to chat with a few next time. Cheers, James. do what i do and stick your nose in till people either tell you to fuck off or start talking  thankfully no1 did the former

Good atmosphere as always, which is what makes the show for me. Met a few new people & a few familiar ones.

Is it me or was that commentator the most annoying bloke in the history of the world?

I was a bit peeved to say that I ran a 12.36 and received little or no mention, whilst Dave Hollis sounded like he was about to blow his load when Meads was about to run.......

A particular highlight was when Nic was doing impressions of the commentator, then he appeared and walked over to interview Nic.

" i sure you'll all agree with me we hope Stuart can do it this year again!" and thats when Nathan has just ran a 9.9!! lol sounded a touch sour when talking about Nathans car i thought. lol was quite amusing! seeing the don run for the first time in person was quite and experience! i couldnt imagine driving it! looked very consistant though. although seemed quite big gaps between runs..tinkering time?? |
