I was going, and was looking forward to it, but the wind and rain here made me decide not to go. Nothing like a decent event ruined by the rain.

I cant beleive it did'nt rain there.

I went for a cruise instead and saw a couple of scooby convoys

That made my day, I'm easily pleased

I had a nice day there aswell Was my first outing with the MY06 T20
I was a bit wary as I only had the Car 5 weeks or so and wasn't keen on visiting Camp tyre wall again.

The marshel at the start line P*ss me off, he wrongly waved the chequered flag half way through my session. "wrong blue Scoob"

Edited because my keyboard can't spell

Probably been watching Eurovision

Glad you guys had a good day, I took one look at the weather forecast and spent the day in the garage working on my old Primera instead. Didn't seem worth the effort of dragging myself to the show now I don't have the scoob

Ah-ha, I didn't see the people (fortunately by the sound of it), but I was parked next to a certain pink Vitara in the public area just behind Quarry - I had a double-take when I got out of my car, quite extreme!

I *hope* you just missed an 'e' off the end of that sentence.

SSO was well organised and well run. Unfortunately the organisers have no control over the weather.

You would expect that in May we could have expected better weather wouldn't you !!

I have attended every Japfest and the weather has got worse every year

SO MUCH FOR GLOBAL WARMING
