Hi all.
Have fun. I would love to have gone but sadly it was not to be.
I am however making the effort to make the first weekend in September meet.
Cheers Mark.

Hahaha, I took it through a rain shower on the way up!

Great weekend, I was a bit of a tit and forgot my camera though :oops:

Turns out you can fit 1 axle, 7 wheels and a NSR door as well as a boot full of stuff in a 300 and still be only just about window level!

It's my love of the steam engine dude... I miss traction engines!

Turns out when I was in a wheel selling mood I sold *all* my wheels, including Fakes... So I'm on borrowed wheels atm, rears are Speedy's and the Rostyles are a friend of mine with a mk1 cav :) I may have got 6 new ones at the weekend.

Nothing secret mate! Will either by mk2 or mk3 GLT rims, depending on if there are any geometric differences between them! I've gone even further into the "handling over looks" thing!

Was a great weekend, nice to meet everyone and put faces to names :) I took hundreds of photos but will pick out some good ones and put them up later when I've resized them. Most were of the drift 300's mind :)

A really really good weekend!

Alternative uses for leo alloys...
Image

Talked to the two who had all of these till after midnight sat-sun
Image

Nev's 182 powered 340
Image

and the SR20 one
Image

Some amazing work gone into them
Image

Might steal this idea like
Image

I wan't the only one there with a flocked dash
Image

5-link on the SR20 360
Image

6-link on the hatch
Image

Thought this was worth a shot when we went to tesco
Image

I did take photo's of other 300's too
Image

our V3M corner :D
Image

The shiney ones, were some very well looked after ones!
Image

Wow!!
Image

This was nice
Image

a few of you got stickers off me, some were fitted right then and there...
Image

Orange sold out first haha
Image

A pic I took when the VOC photographer came round
Image

I proper buzzed these, (incase you hadn't guessed)
Image

My new desktop wallpaper :D
Image

Finish off with the V3M stand, which I reckon was the most interesting of the lot by quite a way.
Image

I had an amazing time, really enjoyed myself.
