Wasn't too bad apart from the weather! Some great cars there, never knew there were so many Integra DC5s in the country

Gutted about the red Hawkeye Type 25 who had an engine problem though and the silver Scoob which spun out on its spilt oil and went into the barrier backwards everyone seemed ok though

other than the sticker stalls, nobody actually seemed to be selling anything.

rota and bc/ksport were there but just seemed to be showing products rather than selling anything.

Spotted you when you were on the way out. I gave you a wave, but I think you were annoyed at the stewards on which way you were allowed to leave lol.
