Well done Milamber. Had an absolutely fantastic day. With a spectacular moving firework display all the way home.

Will sort through pics tomorrow, a bit tired now.

Again, thanks Chris for organising this event your efforts are appriciated. As a first outing for me it was great to meet such a nice bunch of people.

Hopefully will see you at the next HWH or Lodge Meet. I won't be too shy to come along as a newbie now !!

For those who took pictures, i have plenty of space on my server if that assists in hosting them. Just send me an email or PM and we'll sort out getting the images to me.

I may pop along on Saturday evening if i get the opportunity in a "Special" graphiced WRX

See you all soon,

Steve.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. The tour was fantastic, the facilities amazing and the cars just gobsmackingly gorgeous.

The convoy was great, didn't get to see a lot being the lead car but I gather you were all having fun.

Many, many thanks to Wozzaa for the lift and putting up with me in a grumpy mood thanks to my car breaking itself.


Thanks to Andy-C for agreeing to do the review

Thanks for the praise everyone, I really enjoyed it and i know you all did too.

It was amazing to get to have a look around all the factories. It's clear that everyone really enjoys their jobs and take great pride in everything they do. They were so enthusiastic which is great to see. Also good to hear the gossip about the other teams....... ssshhhhhhhh best not repeated on here

The drive up there and back was just as much fun as the tour itself.

I think Frayz and the others will have just as good a time as we did.


I did find it funny though when 97Catalunya was blasting throught he dartford tunnel but didn't realise he had turned the flamer off MUPPET

that WRC engine is a great bit of kit, especially seeing as it's got 2 timing belts for each cylinder head
