How was it for everyone this year?

I had a great time, was amazed how well the little 998 went down there!! The show was alright, i really liked the white turbo that was there, is that anyone from here?

i had a wicked time this year, really didnt want to come home last night. got home about 1am and now i'm at work :(

saw a few of the dudes off here but spent most of the time up on the campsite enjoying a weekend of relaxing and tinkering with a few fooked cars in the club. Had 1 suspected blown head gasket which turned out to be a cracked head and block aswell, 1 car with 5psi of oil pressure at 3000rpm. Mine was perfect though, didnt miss a beat apart from burning out the clutch on a very steep hill start in the middle of newquay, anything over 7psi and it slips now.

Big thanks to wolfie for offering to tow my mates car back on his trailer, cheers dude :) managed to join another breakdown company though so he'll call em out when it dies on the way home :)

yup, i'm nursing a very sunburnt neck and face now, not as bad as avon park sunburn though!

NOTHING is as bad as avon park sunburn.

RRun was cool - had a nice chilled weekend - many thanks to Wolfie for the hospitality!

Yeah brilliant weekend. totally forgot to come say hi bud!! sorry dude, was only camped across the road from you aswell. perhaps a few too many brain cells killed by the old amber necter!

good to meet up with a few people again too. was impressed by your 998 Ric, that thing goes ok!

yea i was there, i had to judge tho! took ages, that white turbo was smart, few nice cars there as well. hope every one enjoyed it.

like bud says, it was quite chilled this year. I'm actually up for doing the winter warmer as a little break away.

Avon is going to rule so hard!

Wes, yeah, the 998 is quality, we pushed it hard on the way home and it was perfect. Hope i'm that lucky with the turbo!

glad the minis worked well
