How good was the calypso green XB GT coupe behind the barrier!!!!!!!!!! By far the best looking out of all the GT's I reckon.
The zg, zf fairlane turnout was disappointing. Most of them have probably rusted away.

I think the mustangs were right handed. There was advertising for the company bringing them in. Maybe they do the conversion? unless they come like that?

Did anyone else see the guy do a massive burnout then got chased down by a cop on a pushbike? Damn that was funny.
Here's one with some AFF baloons.

Same as if there were people damaging cars , then I'm sure there would be people complaining that there was no police presence.

Have a read of what you have written, reading part B first. That is EXACTLY why we won't allow any of those antics on our cruises and events. The XD was clearly out of control and nearly hit people. Would you have thought it so good if it actually cleaned people up ??
I was actually disappointed that the cops took so long. Stupidity like that ends up getting the event closed down.

Personally, I’m glad that they were there. Nothing ruins a great day more than a small group of irresponsible people who think that this sort of behaviour is acceptable. As Bucky said, it not only shows great disrespect to the organisers and the owners of this great venue but it also threatens the whole event. Could you imagine the outcry if someone lost control of their vehicle and injured or killed a innocent bystander?

Excellent day and as per usual, very well run.

Cheers, Danny

Those bloody organisers tread on thin ice. We got their 10.35 because of the bloody log jam coming into the joint and therefor missed out on the trophy hunt.

I put so much effort to get the LANE up to sctrartch the day before that my disappointment is difficult to put in words for I'd deffinitely be booted off a second time. I was expecting a pardon instead I got a kick up the ИИИИ.

I understand part of that ... but can you explain it is simpler english for me ( maybe by PM )??
If I read it partially right, you got caught in the queue and dipped on on getting judged. You have been bitten by a successful event. To have that number of cars at a single location you are always going to have traffic problems. There is an easy fix.. get there earlier :
