Well what can I say apart from a big thanks for an amazing day. The waether was great, the cars looked amazing and it was a big turn out.
A big thanks to Dillon for all your help with the stand and for hanging out my passenger window with the camera for the parade lap.
Another big thanks to Aj for coming with you lovely girlfriend Jo who even helpped out as well.
Thanks to Ant and Stuart for the BBQ and hope everyone had some good food off it.
Would all so like to thank PugGTI Rachel and her little boy for helping us all get out for the parade lap
The parade lap went like a dream with noone messing about unlike the Saxos . I was a really nice sight seeing all the members in my rear view mirror, was very proud of all us.
Anyway I will get on with the pics now.

Well I wouldn't have gone that far. The saxos didn't have an excuse though, as it was effectively a memorial, though I thought your's was meant to be as well? To Quakrz?

Excellent pictures. Very pleased it all went smoothly, especially for you and the other guys who spent so much time organising this.
What did the saxo's do? I dont mean to be judgemental, but I'm not surprised!

Race control were more than pleased with 206info, hearing them on the marshals radio in car they were saying we had cracked it. There were some periods where gaps opened up and there were a few gunning it here and there, but we were told it was one of the best parade laps they had had when the pack got tightly bunched together going round in lines of 3.

They are the same ones as I have - got them on ebay a while ago, was very lucky though, they are limited. They are basically the standard crystal ones with black innards.

ant's 206 was very lumpy on the throttle so keeping it line was like having to keep pulling back on a leash of a big dog.
but by god those exhausts are amazing! especially when you went through the 'exhaust appreciation tunnel'
