Grand Day Out
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!

Needs a wash and it now has an ever bigger collection of dead flies.

It's Donington not Donnington 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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.
Pat ;-)

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
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
