had a highly rated week end,
that's shit that I can understand about nothing at what was talking around me, or told,
I so much wanted to share with you this moment!
Whatever, was really good to put a face and guy behind this computer.

I'm now of, completely deflated, I'm rost as a beef, and tired as I never been since fifteen years.
We were back home late in the night , around 3, did go to job at 6 and just came back. After the sunday, night, it sart to make a LOT!
Really enjoyed to met you all, a special attention for the star of Sunday:
Denis times are from an other dimension, and my mooth was just stuck open when i realised his time.

Nic, Nic, Nic, Nic, you're a star!(on and off track )
The five porter glave, did ring this week end!

can't comment any more it would take me the week to report, maling a post with pics to show what I saw.

was an absolute pleasure to meet you fab, and your english is very good!

My cylinder head is off, No4 gudgeon pin has wandered out of the piston into the bore. Twice this has happened now :( chalked the first off as bad luck. will need to solve this problem, shame as the other 3 cylinders plugs are spotless as are teh pistons :(

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Denis O'Brien.

Just managed to gather all my tickets together and looked through them.

Opinions please. I dont think its too bad, but I dont have a clue lol, its certainly better than any of my previous outings since 2006.

Here's some pics I took over the weekend. Mainly from Saturday, as I was too pissed to hold the camera steady on Sunday morning.

Metro Van on the rollers. A respectable 68 bananas at the wheels and a of peak 95 curly wurleys. Drew quite a crowd. A turbo will be shoved under the bonnet soon











Steves T2ed Midget. A very nice install.







That tax disk holder looks heavy



The smoke machine...





This clubby gave me the rageing horne.



















Monster Vauxhall Viva. It was litterally twice as fast as my car!



I gave the car a quick strip to try and get the 1/4 mile times down into the 18s. It worked!



Shame it didn't get me home

Good to meet you Fab. Your english was good enough for you to loose the drinking games a good few times

erection caption comp needed on this one








Lisa working hard

That car is a hoot. three wheeled to about 330ft Vauxhall should rethink the Insignia

And Fast Carl looking particularly smart this week end

,
well done!!!!!
, my wife was just behind, :
"what's a drinking game?"
"euhhhhh!"
I'm rosted and now toasted

Was a good day Sunday - well done to the awesome times run by the usuals- nics mid 12 looked very fast all the way through the run - nice job. Sprock your times are right for 100bhp and a mid weight car.

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

Not Nic's but there's more than a passing resemblance

Whos is this?

Not Nics surely? if it is then more has changed than i first thought!

Good weekend as usual. Top company from the Turbominis massive. Some amazing times & great cars. It was great to meet a few new faces as well as catch up with the usual crowd.
The saturday night "dodgy disco" didn't dissapoint with some awesome "freestyle barndancing". All in all a top weekend.

still can't work out how I've got so many bruises all over me

Team Racing

Me too. I reckon it's Nic's energetic style of barn dancing

argh, just tried to upload pics and i've lost the cable for my phone...

lucky escape for you nic!

Great weekend, always good to meet up with everyone. Amazing times posted, really raised the bar this year!

My best run was my last against Paul R in the van.

I'm missing a few timing slips including the 18.770 I ran in Andy's mini.

My best reaction time on the slips that I have was 0.50354 which I don't think was bad for my first go at the strip.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I didn't recognise Carl without his beanie hat:

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

Nope it was me who ran against you in the Metro Van Paul. I'm John BTW.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

That was John (Midmadmotorman). He had a weight advantage over me, so he was quicker in both cars. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Those £2 sunglasses just finish off the image nicely don't they,lol
