Nice to see Mick Rogers matt black mk3 Cortina again!!!! :)

Sadly that car is no more as he rolled it big time at the end of the day :-/ . So i have read, he crossed the finish line at 124mph then lost the back end. He rolled it 4 times. He managed to get out and only suffered a scratch to one arm and a few bruises thankfully.

Was that the diagnosise of the Santa pod medical staff?

"Tis but a scratch"

Then he visits his local hospital and finds out he has a fractured skull, broken back, burst spleen and 3 missing fingers.

Anyway, here was Phill warming sausages pre accident

Mark did a blinding lap:
Posted Image

Jeremy too:

Here are the Video clips Clare took of the Auto tests:

Me in the 2.0 Sportline (best time of 26.36):

Jeremy in his 2.5 16v (best time of 24.63)



It was fantastic fun, and i am definitely doing it again next year! ;)
These vids weren't of the best time laps, but one of the many attempts...

After i finished the autotest, i parked up to watch more, and once Jeremy had finished he parked up... and hid... :P
I was well and truly boxed in :lol:

The land rover is the car of the show for me.

It really is lovely. I know a bloke with a Series I that he keeps uncovered, without a roof in his woods. It has been used for hunting there for at least 25 years and never fails to work.

Very smooth indeed nick, we had previously been laughing at some estates going round, boating their way around, but were pleased to see how smooth you made it look. Very tight down the slalom bit.

I think so, I think he may have had grazed elbows or something. Nothing major, although this was just rumour on the day.

Well, here are a few of our pics, now we have our new computer up and running.
Again, Retro was a blast, top cars and top people from the club. A pleasure to meet and talk to you all. Sadly we weren't feeling too well on the Saturday night so missed out on the homebrew type shenanigans this year. Mind you, probably just as well.....
(get well soon Phil!)
After the Saturday night downpour, we waited until the campsite was a bit less like a quagmire and moved towards the stand. It didn't take long to find!
Posted Image
The stand went on...
Posted Image
and on...
Posted Image
and on...
Posted Image
and on...
Posted Image
Blimey, what a turnout! Hats off!

So, the ol' Brownmobile was given a quick shine up. (Was glad I had the rear quarter damage properly done and the parking dings taken out. The quality of 190s on the stand this year was outstanding. Toff's gorgeous 2.6, Andy's mint pre facelift, Martin's Brabus and a more beautiful Cossies than you could shake a stick at!)
Posted Image
(That's myself, Toff 190 and TimW in the pic for those who like to put names to faces!)
Posted Image
(Yep, for some reason, that's me doing strange "brum brum" invisible steering wheel actions!)

More views of the stand....
Posted Image
(Boss man Steve's amazing bonnet art!)
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
(Oops! Sorry Hiten, looks like you didn't get out of shot quick enough! :lol: )
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
(This car is easily one of my faves, Tim's manual sportline. This car gets more original and mint every time I see it. Just lovely.)
Posted Image
(Whoops Tim, looks like the wife was lying when she said you wouldn't be in this shot! :lol: )

We knew Robbie would come up with something special with TYW this year. He didn't disappoint....
Posted Image
But I wasn't prepared for the sight of Aaron's car! Superb!
Posted Image

Posted Image
Posted Image
This was very possibly the star of the stand for most of us, Martin's fantastic Brabus 3.6 24-valve engined monster. I had the pleasure of following this car all the way from Tibshelf to the Pod!

A few members decided to have a go at the handling course.
Posted Image
Sadly this is as far as I got. Guess who forgot to bring his driving licence? Doh!
So, it was up to Hot Fuzz in his mega tidy 'kitted '87 and Tim in his lovely sportline to fly the flag for the 8 valvers...
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Great entertainment came from Jeremy and Steve in their Silver 16vs
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image

Finally, some random photos of stuff that caught our eye. Personally if I could have gone home with the Le Mans Green Mk1 Escort GT on Lotus steels or the Orange Hillman Avenger Tiger, I'd have been a happy man...
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image

This thing was unbelievable. About the size of a football pitch and pulled 11 second quarters!!!
Posted Image
Posted Image

So there we go , a top weekend. So much to see and drool over. Cheers to the missus for taking many of the pics.
See ya all next year!
