I heard it was 29 and they booked 32 spaces. Mine is right at the back left with the bonnet open (I was comparing something against the other 2.5s!)

First lot of pics from me, here's the scene from South Mimms Services at about 10:15am:

The weather had picked up by some margin by the time we parked up on the stand at the Pod!

Posted Image

Marcus & Kenny weren't shy about showing us theirs pretty much straight away...

Posted Image

Steve's freshly polished kit looked awesome with those fat rims and new tyres.

Posted Image

Marv's 2.6 looking fresh, as ever...

Posted Image

There seems to be a bit of a trend with a certain 17" wheel, eh?

Got back about an hour ago and just finished unloading camera onto pc, so will have some more pics in a bit.

Gotta say what an excellent day it was, and to a bunch of great people, how nice it was to meet you in person. Always good to put a face to the name, even if it wasn't how you picture them in your head!!!

Good show generally, but not as packed as I'd hoped.
Wayne treated us to the sight and sound of his awesome E55 AMG.

Many serious engine conversions, including a raucous E30 and something seriously yellow...

...and finally. The best 1/4-mile car of the day, this thing just ran and ran.
Caught up with the owner as I left, engine is apparently a 5.8-litre Smallblock V8.
In a Porsche 924!

I'm only really here for the Kitchens

phew, epic show guys, really enjoyed it.
Nice to meet you all and do you know, I think some of you lot may be creeping into my memory. I am sure I will have forgot who is who again by next year :)

Neil those strip shots are amazing !
I ran a 16.19s and a 15.97s, pretty chuffed to be honest. Jeremy, remind me again what you got :P

Unfortunately I didnt even get my camera out until pretty much everyone had left , although when I did I had forgotten the memory card so only had room for a few pics anyway.

Stand looked great, I think it was 31 in total on the stand. Great banner, it was really nice having the 16v on ramps too and all the stuff printed out. Shirts are great too.

I will start brewing more beer now for retro 2009 !!
