First off, a big thanks to Steve for organising this and sorting out the passes etc.
Great to meet up with everyone.
All the cars looked a treat, shame my RX7 isn't on the road yet but should be for next year... Tools RX2 also looked the biz and his rotor housing and rotor display was inspired.... it attracted as much attention as the cars did....
Here are a few of the Mazda orientated pics I took today....

Yep, I thought that was a cracking little show. Excellent chilled atmosphere, a crowd full of properly knowledgeable people rather than the inbred hillbillies you find at like Santa Pod, clear sense of humour throughout (Nissan Prairie with window-mount exhaust!? ) and a great variety of cars considering it looked liek only a small venue at first.

Plus, that bloody insane aero-engined Bentley, of course

Great to meet everyone, new faces and old. Thanks especially to Steve for getting the stand and for putting up with my bumper on the bedroom floor for a month, plus his mum and dad couriering it over for me . Think it gave everyone a laugh getting it "in" the car. Well, some of it was in...

Pics to come when I can sort through them. Only took about 500

[TOOL]

I'll go first
