..... 7 hours to get home. useless fluorescent-jacketed morons. full report when i'm not grumpy No, no, no. You want to do the full report now, that way rather than a rational assessment of the situation, we get a bloody big rant!  That's why if I can I try to only log on here when I'm angry, my posts are so much more entertaining to read when I am! ;D ;D ;D Go on, rant and rave, you know you want to! ;D ;D |

Bug Jam was actually pretty cool and laid back, apart from the jam on the way out, many ppl in there for over 4 hours without moving. I waited for a while in the van and listened to the hillariously bad nitro FM, then when I did leave, it took all of three minutes  |

It's a 6230i 1.3 megapixel camera... not too shabby I thought... (original res was 1280*1024)
That Gypsy was cool.. ran a couple of times.

right, i'm less grumpy now Bugjam was pretty good, i thought the qualifying on saturday was EXCELLENT, far more interesting than normal - not sure why, just seemed really exciting with lots of insanely quick cars and personal bests. Street bugs getting into low 10's always makes me lose a small amount of yoghurt. I ran a 17.9 in the scirocco without caning it too much (ran a 20-summat on the first go due to my odd method of going 1st-4th-3rd gear. 2nd is a bit funny and i missed it totally ) was fab to see you mister cruiser - i shall arrange maybe coming over to see your golf in the week although i won't get your hopes up as i'm loving the rocco a lot right now! and also the rainking and abidento, nice work mostly drunken people my only grumble was the inept way of clearing the pod when the rain hurled it down and everyone wanted to leave together - clear the bottom fields first and don't even think of the people further up. we stood for an hour, so i parked in the queue and went back to jay's tent where we sat for another three before returning to the car. it took a total of 6 hours from packing up to actually getting through the gate, and for people in the pits-side it was even worse. |

Saw you run the 17.9... top effort dude! I was down next to the track when Paul Hamilton ran his 9.95... mightily mightily impressive... wheels up in 2nd... superb! (he's the guy with the purple bug that got the wheels up about 4ft at RCS 2004) |

Like I said, it was a cool weekend, ran into a few of yous , did spot some familiar faces of old too. Pillock, just PM me your number, I'll call you and we can arrange a visit if you like, but I'm getting a hankering for the golf again, now it's got all the 16v bits back on, and look sooo hard, like I said, just let me know when you are ready to part with the rocco, cos i'd love a storm. |

Yay - just got back after a week off from work (hence week away from t'internet) Had a good time up at BugJam as usual, though the rain on the Sunday was rather grim. We played out a similar scene to Rainking's picture in the back of a mate's Devon Bay but whilst playing marathon Ludo & pass the pigs  It was nice to meet cappucinocruiser - I look forward to seeing your 'unusual' plans for your wedge unfold ;D I did have a cycle round the general camping later on the Sat evening, hunting out interesting retro fodder - which revealed a number of very nice euro-styled watercooled VWs & a London Routemaster bus  En-route I did spot the Pillock Scirocco, but it seemed your camping area was un-inhabited at the time  My memory of the rest of the evening seems to be a blurry haze  ;D One thing I missed, which i've enjoyed in years gone passed is wandering around the pits during the racing - seeing & hearing the cars close-up, marveling at the incredible level of preparation on many of the racers these days. |
