Grand Day Out
Avoneer - 15/9/07 at 08:15 PM

Well, depite what some people say, I enjoyed Donnington.

OK, inside was nothing special, but I was parked on the BEC Owners stand and put a lot of faces to names and met some nice people.

Also managed to buy the last few bits I needed.

And, I even made the MAC#1 open day on the way home and met some more people.

Long day mind!

It's Donington not Donnington

Well I've just got home, and I have to say enjoyed it!

The show was up to Donington's usual standard (rubbish) But for £5 a night to camp and free entry as a driver good value in my opinion.

Put a few more faces to names including you Pat was good to meet you! Was really impressed with your car its a credit to you!

Cheers Dave................

Thanks Dave.

My car has nearly done 1k miles and 1 track day.

I made it to be driven hard and rarely cleaned.

No doubt the ali will get scratched, dented and battered before long, but so what.

Saw you on the M1 Pat, had a look at the car on the BECOC Stand looks really good, didn't get to put a face to your name though, only the quick glance and thumbs up on the M1.

I had a great time!

Especially the free beer and hog roast (I'm afraid I was verry,very drunk...), I agree that the show was smaller than usual, but the track action should be back next year.

I even went in the museum for a bit on saturday.

best free weekend in ages

cheers
