AJI Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I found it a great day out, fantastic arrangement of cars. Never seen so many GTR's, RX7's, 300ZX's and of course Supras in all my life! The meet up at 15a was cool..... about 25+ Supras waiting until set off time then all of a sudden we hear growling and back popping from behind the trees then another 25+ Supras came roaring in! The local plod parked up at the other side of the car park must have felt a bit scared being one police car versus 50+ modified Supras! (+ R32 Skyline that fitted in quite nicely to our 'gathering'). Convoy into Billing was great...... seeing so many Supras in a single line along a dual carriageway was definately something to remember. I got my bro to take some video footage so I'll get it uploaded a.s.a.p. Good to meet some of you guys, dude with 1999 Black Supra (sorry forgot your name), very cool Supra indeed, looked absolutely mint. Kawasaki blue Supras look the business too. I asked one of you guys at the start of the day which one was Branners and as I spoke a rather big boned (can I say that?) chappie walked past with 'Branners' in big letters on his t-shirt , and I said 'is that him?' doh!

roboldham Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Yeah someone else told me Branners had a big bone too. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 Im not big boned, Im fat...oh no wait thats the wrong way round. bugger. I find the t-shirt helps a little at these events. My main problem is remembering all the people I meet. The bloke taking the group photo was from midnite-uk, JimGill on this BBS is the editor for that mag so Im sure he can let us have the group photo picture. I think next year I will arrange for everybody to be there for the group photo as its a good idea. Star cars of the show for me were Darryls silver car with overfenders, foodfreaks blue with overfenders and Mark Ks silver with those little pipes sticking out of the bonnet (did you demo what they are for?), but just to see that many Supras jammed in to the parking space was great. Are people saying the convoy from j15a to Billing broke up? I was sitting at 50mph most of the way, not sure I could have gone any slower. I know the convoy from J6 got a bit broken up, but thought the one in to Billing stayed together? JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robertio Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Hi All A most impressive display of Supras at JAE, probably too many on Sunday as they were parked so close together it wasn't really possible to walk around them, time for a larger area next year I'm assuming it was someone on here that was travelling back up the M6 with a video camera on Sunday evening? I was heading back up to Scotland in my red RX-7 with a mate in his flip'd FTO at a very sedate pace (car has a fondness for petrol I can't really afford ) and we were joined for half an hour by a nice Supra around the Lancashire border (around 6pm I'd guess). So thought I'd pop over and say hi The very noisy Skybus was with us at the SS-R display as well, it does get a bit tiring after the first few times but it keeps Marc happy and always seems to be encouraged by the crowds. Personally I spent a lot of time with mates at the RX-7 displays to escape from it May see some of you at TOTB next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Yeah, it fractured leaving the motorway at the lights. Took at least 3 cycles to get everyone thru, so even at 50mph we were probably about 1.5 miles behind and after that there was so much traffic that even judicious use of the loud pedal and some sneaky undertaking couldn't catch us back up. It kinda got back together coming up off that A road. Hard to see what more could have been done to keep it together (short of forming a quick roadblock and running the red lights!)
