    Kudos to George for coming back up afterwards too!

    I'm embarrassed to say it but I thought George was a dude in his 50's, wasn't expecting a youngish fella :o

    I took a video of the Challenger. Unfortunately, I held the phone at a 90 degree angle :o

    Luckily Windows Movie Maker has an option to correct that, so here it is:

    NOTE: TURN UP SPEAKERS, AS IT'S SOUND WAS RECORDED VERY LOW


    ...not... tee hee hee hee

    Ah no bother, you may ask someone else how to do the fade in/out but you have a start now anyway.

    Had to make a quick exit, stuff to do back in town, I'll probably see ya cruisin around :)

    Looks like it was a great day folks.
    Lots of lovely jammers, but that red 525 estate (marlow's?) is a thing of beauty.

    Next time ye are meeting at midway drop me a pm, I know the guy who owns the O'briens there and i might be able to arrange some sort of a deal.

    Sorta glad i didn't go tho. Some of those cars would have put my alfa to shame:p

    The MPS surprised me pleasantly! I tend to drive all cars like an RX8, hence a fair bit of unnecessary revving :D

    I had good fun too - especially since I don't actually know a whole lot about cars :o I love that you see all kinds of machines non meet-related wandering through the car park.

    Thanks to the randomer in the lovely RX7 for parking beside me and making me feel like one of the japscrap crew :D I need bigger, bleached hair and heels next time. And lots of purple stickers.

    I still feckin' love that S2000.

    €50 worth of petrol well-spent!

    I managed to get my Average speed up to 48km/h and even better my fuel consumption down to 11.7l/100km

    Total success!

    *chooses not to think about the money spent on petrol driving the 200km* :pac:
