Rav Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Would have to agree the parking was a little cozy. But it was good to put some faces to the members and at least the weather was nice on Sunday. Saturday night was a nightmare. Running drunk through the muddy puddles at 4am from your tent to the toilets is not fun!!! What happened to the rims on the Fast & Furious Orange Supra? Thanks Mcanny for the keyring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad500 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Originally posted by u_ali whos was the really loud car making popping sounds....I MEAN THE REALLY LOUD ONE.....?? which we could hear/feel from our area.

Nice to meet some of you at last. Looking forward to the next meet already. Who managed to get out in less than an hour at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 Thanks to Paul E a group of about 5 of us got out in about 5 minutes, sneaked out the back door. Will remember that for next year. Some great Supras there this year, seems the supra modifications are coming on nicely, so many different sets of wheels which all looked nice.

Digsy Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Smashing day out. Really glad I dragged myself along (its the first "proper" meet I've been to apart from RWYB at Pod a few months ago. Like many have said above, its great to be able to put faces to avatars. If I had a pound for everyone who said "oh, you're the guy with the three-spokes"... Really lucked out with the weather too. I was wondering if it would turn into an automotive Glastonbury, but in the end it was bright enough to catch a few rays, but not quite enough to burn you to a crisp. Cheers to Ian for lending me some cleaning gear when I arrived (I'll be more organised next year). After getting up at 05:30 I was a bit punch-drunk by the time I arrived so a big apology to Gordon for the very surreal conversation I had with him. Of course I knew all along that your car is storm blue and you come from Beccles. I have met you three of four times before after all! I don't think my brain engaged properly until I got a cheeseburger down my neck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrboost Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Hi guys A Top weekend, Did not manage to meet you all, as I moved my car to a tuning stand and completly the otherside of the show. Left a 2pm as had to be back for the little one. Top weekend and we did not let the rain spoil the day. Boostie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Thanks to Paul E a group of about 5 of us got out in about 5 minutes, sneaked out the back door. Will remember that for next year.

I think I got to see the whole of the site... After sitting in a queue for over an hour, watching all the cars parked on the grass being let out at the front of the queue, I decided to see how well the MKIV would cope off road. I managed to get onto one of the roads among static vans/holiday homes. We quickly found a quick exit and got out. I thought the marshalling was dire, it was just a free for all. "Like many have said above, its great to be able to put faces to avatars. If I had a pound for everyone who said "oh, you're the guy with the three-spokes"...

lust2luv Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Was a good day out; weather was surprisingly kind. Parking, as has been said, was a nightmare! Was a bit distressed to get boxed in right in the centre, as I had to get home urgently by mid-afternoon, but luckily I managed to persuade a couple of Celica owners to create a way out for me, with about 2mm to spare either side! They were really nice guys, don't suppose they'll get to see this, but thanks again guys! Oh and apologies to the lady sat on a camp chair directly behind my exhaust when I started her up to leave! I've never seen anyone leap from a chair so fast (or maybe she was blown!) I had my spec sheet on display and was surprised how many people stopped and took time to read it. Definitely a good idea for next time, shame more people didn't stick one up. Who's was the rather spiffing purple veilside kitted beast with spidepods replacing the rear side windows? Certainly novel! Shame I didn't have more time to meet more of you guys. Some *really* nice cars on display. Many thanks for the keyring Michael - looks the biz!

Guest Terry S Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Top day guys, only really let down by the parking. Hope no one was distressed by the noise of my car.

cashpoint Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Great day out and great weather as my tanned face proves. The convoy up was fun as being on the M1 and only being able to see Supras was great an the look on the driver of other car as we came past was great. The car park at the Northhampton services was something to see as it was early all Supras. There must be loads of pics of that as the scooby behind me at one point had the passenger pointing the camera all over the place The convoy was broken up after leaving the service station but that was because of the traffic light's on the Junction. When i arrived i was sheeparded onto the grass by the lake, so left the car there to start with then went back and got it later. Though i did catch the exhaust as i left the carpark ... and my car isn't lowered. Loads of nice car's around though that Veilside 350Z was a deserving winner. Does any one know what got 2nd prize as i didn't see it? Lust2luv i've got a couple of pics of your exit through the Celica and the isn't much air between you and the cars around. Though i talked to a few people, dought i'll remember names come the next meet so really need to pay more attention when introduced Spoke to some of the GTIR owners next to us (last car was a GTIR so i knew some of them) as wanted to find the Guy who we past in convoy on the way up. Found him in the end as he was talking about getting "mobbed" by supras on the way up:D , said it was very impressive sight seeing nothing but supra spoliers in front. The one way system was a bit of a joke on leaving but it gave me enough time to read that free mag that was handed out while i waited. Those who went out the "quick route" have any kids say "wheel spin, wheel spin"? or was it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam W Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I got the wheelspin thing as well, from the marks on the road it looks like they'd had some success. I revved mine up a bit and they went all hyper, then I shook my head at them and trundled off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Originally posted by Terry S No just kids giving High Fives:D lol I felt kinda special since I had the only Lexus GS300 Sport there. That could be either good or bad though Also, did anyone notice how there was no police anywhere in billing the entire weekend - I never saw one until we got onto the M1, very good I thought, think they were relying on people not to prat about from previous events. I think 2nd place went to that mad 4x4 400bhp new Fensport Toyota Corolla 5dr! Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I think you won a prize if you revved the cods off you car in the car park. I can't think of any other reason for doing it:innocent: TWATS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Well I was supposed to be going both days, but then could only make the Sunday. However when Sunday arrived I was unfortunately throwing up for most of it. Nice. Appologies to all my legions of fans who I know were obviously only attending Billing to see me. Unless there are any other chundering incidents next sunday I will be at TOTB2 and available for autograph signings. Sounds like a missed a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
