And who said Si never had a fd.....;) What a nice one it is too.
got to say the convoy was a real blast. Never seen so many jaws drop as we passed people on the M40.
Nice turn out of Fd\'s and nice to see grahame\'s FC aswell. have to say Ben your motor looks quality mate,not usually a fan of graphics but yours look superb.
Only bad point was the traffic absolutely unbelievable,enough to put me off goin next year i think.
Cheers Jay...:wave

Yes - a couple of those roads were a little on the narrow side. I think we gave those lads at the bus stop in the middle nowhere a shock as we shot out of some tiny single track road!
Sorry we lost you in London. Lucy had a moment of indecision with the sat nav and you actually ended up going the right way. We turned round and tryed to sort ourselves out but the laptop then crashed so we had to wait another 10 minutes in the middle of Hackney! :rollin

Convoy was good, thanks Graham and Ben and grahams mate. We only had a couple of hicups on route. sorry....
Traffic was a nightmare, not good for rotary\'s on a hot day.
How did you get on with track Graham, did you do two sessions in the end?
John York had a nifty little BBQ thing going on but the service was terrible, i still havent got my 1/4 pounder! :rollin
I got some good pictures! heres one...... had the wifey with me so had to use the rouse that i was taking them for carlos as he had given me his tickets.

Well for those of us who had a bit of a trek - Just got back to Manchester now.
I can safely say that the lads who came in the back of my fd for the 350 mile trip would never allow themselves to fall in the same hole twice. Must have been cramped in the back seats. :rollin
Anyway, heres a pic I took of the track session. Got in trouble for climbing the flag pole.. oh well :D
ps Nice fd scooby.

I bought my Gram Lights thru Shin at Prospec, cost me £1650 for the rims and then £550 for the rubber. Nice guy, V.helpful and happy to recommend him! His numbers 020 8492 1541.
Yes competition was fearce for me at TRAX! It\'s great to see so many nice FD\'s in one place. We\'ll have to get them all out on the track one day, that\'d be a sight and a sound:D
Even had someone in a black SW20 ask for my picture whilst heading back down the M11 (moving too I might add)!;) :cool
I love FD\'s and wouldn\'t change mine for anything else!:)

I didn\'t have enough fuel for the second run as the pumps packed in at the petrol station on site. Its a pity cos the drift boys were out in force and I would have attempted my first drift session.
Does anyone have anymore pics of us on track? I can get some from the video but its crap quality.
