Okay, so headed off at about half six (AM), went and picked up our back seat runners, then dived around the M25 and up the M1, took our little short cut cross country and pulled onto the site just after 0900hrs (was funny not to have a base camp) turns out they had had just a touch of rain on the Saturday -
- although it was largely quite dry, lots of new tarmac -
- some dubious cars for sale (imagine the "before and after" shots though!) -
- and some interesting custom modifications (didn't see him run the strip, but I'm sure it was quick ;) -
- saw some classy burn outs -
- and some really mad and smelly (+probably extremely dangerous to the lung) ones -
- witness as the young ladies become impressed at the engine size -
- decide this might not smell too great on the bikini -
- and then start to choke (it was after this I had to leg it, the stink was like burning cod liver oil) YUK! Now just a few of the sights from the shops/show and shine/pits -
- then on to the Jet Funny Cars -
- snuck into a forbidden area to take some snaps -
- then ran to grab some video from the top of the hill - this one is the Fireforce team -
- and this one is the Jet Beetle, then after some nice free beer -
- we walked back to the car through the devastation left behind by the throng -
- plenty more pics on the flickr stream, if you like this sort of thing, of course... ;)
