Bobbeh Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Saturday was awful thanks to the weather. I saw a few Supes drive passed.. may have been you John. I think the weather put many people off from turning up. The area we had was desserted and I think that put people off from wanting to move in and instead just wait for Sunday which was a much better day.

Branners Posted July 27, 2003 Author Share Posted July 27, 2003 I just checked the plans and the organiers royally fked up. If you look at the attached file you can see D12 should have been up to the trees (the trees the Celica club were under) and the Celica club should have been on the other side of the trees where the mkiiis were. We should also have had the full run along the back where the Eclipse was parked and where we had to overflow some people to. Organisers said 'it was raining when we setup so the map was in the van, we did find a big space down the middle which surprised us'. Still a great event, the future of which is in doubt again and they are considering everything from charging £1.50 per car up to £5 per car, getting proper marshalls, getting an events company to run it. So lord knows what it will be like next year. Good to meet people today, I counted over 110 Supras scattered wildly in and around our area. We had 54 Supras in our reduced plot...

Bobbeh Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Shame about that plot, I was lucky (with a few others down saturday) to get some decent spots. God knows what it would have been like if sundays weather was like saturdays! Nice meeting all the peeps I spoke too etc, see you all at the next meet no doubt.

Supra_Al Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Firstly, a big thankyou to Branners for organising .Had a great day, shame i missed the convoy into Billing.......... i took a 'little' detour north on the M1 up to 17:( .Managed to catch up in the park though (shortcut across the mud).I've honestly never seen so many Supras together:cool:, took a few pics that will be filtered onto the BB no doubt. Great to put faces to names. Brain Duff & Angie (again) Mark Kindell & Donna (again) Paul E (again:) ) Darren Blake Ian C (mad!) Paul Y3K ( ....putting up with my directions) Terminator (busy remapping) Dude Mcanny(thanks for the keyring) Roboldham (TV celeb) Branners....(thanks for the mag) Lust2luv (again) Plus lots of others that escape my short memory. After Saturdays rain,we had the weather on our side,which was a bonus.Shame the parking was messed up as we had a massive turnout. Who was the guy doing the group shoot? Is it for a mag or for us to buy?I might of just about got in it.............as i was at the front, Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Yeah, great fun. The festivities on Saturday night were slightly dampened by the fact it pissed down for five hours straight, I still got hopelessly drunk though - and I was nice and warm because I was sitting in half a 200SX which was on fire at the time You would have had loads of space if you'd arrived on Friday . . . .

Mark Ayling Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Was a great day, seeing all those Supras on the road at once was amazing, shame the convoy got separated quite a bit at times... There was some seriously nice cars there and the weather turned out nice too Also, I got to try out Pete Betts' new Dyno: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10718 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that 200SX too.. very funny I saw Andy a couple of times but never caught up with you, I wanted a demo of your new exhaust! I got drunk on Saturday and got lured away by a strange man, then found lots of other strange men in the 200SX gazebo so I nicked six of their burgers and a bottle of their vodka We had about 20 Mk3's parked up on the other side of the trees from you guys, sorta downhill from your overflow parking.

Bobbeh Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Us.. I didnt see you roll up when I saw the bulk of the Supras join us.. didnt think you were there m8. RE: wheels, yeah got them last month off B3any.. thy're real bastards to keep clean but I like em. Andy was parked up with the Mazda Rotary Club (middle of the two fields). I would have liked to spend a bit longer around the Supra area... but I was out and about visiting the different clubs etc plus I brought a m8 from the U.S. along so I sorta spent a lot of time with him showing him all the cars etc. Food, really liked your car.. looked lovely with those wide arches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 what a great day! Lots of very nice cars Really nice meeting new and old faces again. Us Girls finally got to meet, well me and Donna anyway. Were you there Faye? We tried to find you. weather was excellent, too hot for jeans and a black T-shirt, I'll know next time! Nice also to meet Paul and Kelly with my old Aero-top. They have kept her in pristine condition , nice to know he's still pleased with her. Big thanks to Donna and Mark for getting us a great deal on a auto gear lever, I owe you one.

Adam W Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 The yellow one had no engine in. The SX boys reckoned the chap had a Rolls Royve V12 quad-turbo to drop in there, may have been th beer talking but with the GTR lot who can say? The Fensport GT4 thingy was showing off the antilag Saturday, and there was a blue scooby doing the same on the Sunday. BANGBANGBANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
