Went along to the summer bbq at chelmsford yesterday for a quick peek at the fellow flat 4 boxers.

This really is a great event. They throw open their doors to a number of car clubs and throw on a bbq and some live music.

From memory there were all manner of Porsches, Ferrari's, TVR's, Lotus', 1 EVO X, an AC Cobra, some new and very very old Jaguars, some classic maserati's, some Triumph TR4/5/6 & a 7 and even a stand representing the ESC (and even an MSOC member)

Like last year we turned up uninvited and were made to feel completely at home, were given a prime spot at the top of a bank highly visible to everyone.

We wandered off and looked back and there was a regular queue of people looking at our cars.

Thanks to Flat Eric, BeeSTi and especially Budgie, Jackie & Tom for making the trip all the way over. Flat Eric was seen dangerously close to the EVO X at one point even sitting inside

Loved the kids coming running over when BeeSTi arrived telling him how much they loved his car, loved even more Budgie driving off with the anti-lag accidentally switched on

This venue would be ideal for the Subaru/Ford idea you were thinking of

I don't have pics but think that Flat Eric might.

Oh yeah, I've now had a chat with the organiser and he was delighted that we made the effort to go along and loved our cars (no classics cheapening the place )

Next year won't be a problem with us turning up in full ESC force

Thanks for the invite Chris, sorry I couldnt make it - as you probably saw from my other post, the GT2 didnt arrive to me until 5 so by the time it was stickered up I was knackered and just wanted to get home.

No problem, completely understand

You would have been the star of the show though by the look of it

lol

jon was also knackered

he had been driving since 3am, a quick nap on the boat and a drive thru at McDonalds just to get to me.

He usually drives 8 hours with 1hr break at the track but he said the adrenalin keeps him going.
