Just got back myself, uploading pics and videos of you all.
Very enjoyable day, as always, one of, if not the best show/day on the calendar. Good to meet and catch up with everyone
Got 300 miles to 3/4 of a tank in the ST, very good weather all weekend, and not sunburnt. Roll on Summer!!

Weather was awesome, great turnout and a good laugh too

Nice pics Nick,
Great weekend as ever. Was really pleased with the 106 - 480 miles in total, including the 2 track sessions where it did really well. I'll upload a few pictures when i can be bothered.
Nice to see a few new faces, and let's hope the show season continues on the same level!

Fantastic day, best weather we've ever had too! Stand position was pretty good as well.
Roll on FITP. Hopefully just as hot and sunny!
PS. Burman, we need links to vids
I did see that yes! Thought something had let go! Wasn't ideal being so close to you on track though, none of it your fault I must add, yours was much better on the straights and I seemed to have a lot more in the corners I pulled in on the first session due to lack of gears. I made sure I found them in the 2nd session though.black2 :Hionly thing i noticed though was that with about 1-2 laps to go each time, after thrashing it from the start the car began to get hot and smoke a bit, Im sure tweek must have seen it in the first session as im sure he was following me at one point.

lol sorry if i smoked you out a little, out of intrest was it Blue smoke? Only ive checked the oil and its not used a drop, but I think this engine has a week headgasket, as I can always hear the coolant gurgaling away and it does use a bit of water.
I was really impressed with both the ft.com mk3's there, yours and smos were going really well i thought. Smo was awesome in the corners!
Ive got the bug now though, already planning some new suspension as that just high lighted how s**t mine is! and im going to purchase another 2.0l zetec, but going to go blacktop this time as they are more readily avaliable.
Whens the next one?
Gareth.

Nice videos Mark.
Good to see a few moments of my car in action - although i was really annoyed about missing the gear and letting you through on the 9.45 session!

One of the best action days I've been too. Cheers Wayne and Toby for the passenger rides, and everyone else for making it such a good couple of days. Good to see the track newcomers loving it
Jony it's a shame you didn't come, there were plenty of m3's there.
Gareth, that's Mark in the White fiesta, not smo

Afternoon Gents,
Had a great day (hearing loss and sunburn aside!)
Hopefully I managed to get a few half decent shots on Steve's camera.
Fingers crossed I'll be able to make it to a few future events.
