Looks like partial success if they are down to me, the yellow car was sporting angel eyes headlights, some how i didn't capture that feature i'll have to blame the diretor for that frame, plus the fact of dancing between drifters and wheelies didn't help, at one point i thought  you might be
peeling Shaun or my self of the road.

Looks like the chap to the left of the yellow car is just picking himself up after coming in contact with a drifter Nice VW Splitter you can't allways take in what your aiming at.

T'
The Ace is starting to become a victim of it's own success -

Not 'starting' at all, Manky, it's been that way for a long, long time. Mark Willsmore must have some very good photos of high up people in the local constabulary and highways departments.  I'd seen a couple of friends in the Executioners at the weekend and had intended to go, but the bloody trek round the North Circular on a night when the tubes were still a nightmare defeated me.

Anyway, it's Bury in a couple of weeks which will be sunny and lovely and in the daylight and nowhere near the bloody North Circ!

As always, thanks to Rick, (with help from Janie), for his pics. Most of mine were too blurry to use but I've added a few in.
Can't wait to turn up at next year's meet in my Pop. Maybe.

Which show is that? and what dates. If manky and I are free we might go too 

[panthershaun]

The Bury show is Paul and the Krazy Horse crews party in the center of Bury, not sure of the dates but is was excellent last year. I suppose I could do you a small write up and pictures from last years Manky?

Blue, you made a wise choice I think, it took us 3 hours to get from Meopham to the Ace and I think thats what killed Rolland's engine

Ooh, yes please matey!
Just haven't had time to add write ups to many photo galleries lately so all contributions gratefully received.
Took us just over an hour from Basingstoke -straight up the M3 into central London, then turn left towards Kew on the North Circular. Slow moving traffic on the circular but it kept moving.
Janie & Dave always go M3, M25, A40, but got stuck in traffic on the M25.
Rick passed us on the M3 going home & disappeared into the distance.
You lot obviously live on the wrong side of town.

The Krazy Horse do is on 23rd September. Paul swore last year it was a one-off for their 10th anniversary and he'd never do it again, but so many people nagged him (including the local council and shops who had their best Sunday of the year!) that he gave in. Last year was brilliant, although there were a few sore heads from the amazing party the night before.

Yeah Shaun, I think it was a reasonable choice! I hate that trek round the North Circular from East London at the best of times, but trying to do it during rush hour is a nightmare, did it for the hot rod night and it took me the best part of an hour and a half to do 20 miles. Even after having been there dozens of times, the Ace is always a lot further away than I remember it!

There was a picture showing all of us in Ricks lot but when I saw the face you were pulling I thought that you would definitely not approve
