Just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone for day! Had a great day and was nice to meet some of you. Everyone\'s very friendly!
Sorry to any of the 8 owners who I might of span out in front of, thought I would let you all past just encase anything happened again!
Hopefully I\'ll be along to a lot more events through the year

Morning all,

Huge thanks to every one who braved the weather to help build one of the very best stands of the whole event with an excellent showing to the public by all of you, proving what a huge variety of wonderful cars the club has from stock to heavily modified  



Really hoping everyone there will come to Mazda Day at Brooklands on June 1st and then Rotorstock on August 3rd

Really great to see not only long term members of the club on the stand but also new faces with amazing cars as well

Real sorry I didn\'t get to chat to all of you about your cars due to messing around with my own car but hopefully I will see you in just two weeks time where I can have a proper look at especially the new FD,s that we\'re on the stand :chat

[Casey]

Well done and thank you to everyone who came along yesterday to make a great showing. Largest showing on the MRC stand for years at this event and what a great variety of cars on show. I hope someone will post up some pics as I didn\'t take my camera this year.

Sorry I didn\'t get to speak to as many people as I would have liked. The combination of weather (people hiding in cars ) and having to get my car sorted for three track sessions didn\'t leave much time in the morning. By the time my tracktime was over, not many people were on the stand, understandably using a break in the weather to take a look around the rest of the event.

Highlights of the day for me;

1. Seeing Clive\'s car get out on track :mmmm
2. Being on track with the Top Gear guys and overtaking Jezza (twice), Captain Slow (twice) and Hamster (only once). Never in my wildest dreams......

Look out for the next Top Gear series and look out for any Grey RX-8\'s in shot. It\'ll either be me or Dave-B, who was also out in the same session.

Thanks to everyone who showed up and make the day enjoyable despite the showers. Looking forward to meeting you again at Brooklands on June 1st ,where we will bake in the summer sun ( no really !!! ).

[Casey]

Great to meet you too - Phil and Jill (Gill?) if my increasingly bad memory serves me correctly? Hope to have more time to chat in the rather sunnier, but "chilled out" Brooklands event.

Did you enjoy your track session - twas a bit slippy in the 12.30 slot!

[blackadder]

The track session was a bit daunting -first in queue and first time on track since 1985!.......and in the wet.
Had the RX8 at some lurid angles which made my passenger(Neil) very quiet until the end of the session......I took that as a compliment :Giggle
My better half is indeed Gill , or the \'boss\' .

[Fats]

Gutted!!!!! Broke down 8 miles away on the M4! Second year running, clutch pipe or cylinder decided to let go just as I was slowing down for the traffic oh well there\'s always japfest 2
