... amazing.
Hampshire Pagaent of Motoring was on this weekend, about 3 miles down the road from us, so decided to pop along today. Met a few guys from the MR2 Driver's Club and got some membership forms for us. Saw loads of tasty cars, but car of the day has to be the Fireforce jet car. They did a static display in the little arena - basically covered the grass in water, tied the car to stakes in the ground, plus a 9 tonne military tow truck, fired her up and gave it some welly. Fantastic sight! Just looking into booking tickets for the Flame and Thunder show at Santa Pod in November to see them in action properly, rather than tied to a field!! Got a s**te vid from my phone if you wanted to see what I was on about.
Other highlights included a stuntman team setting each other a light and blowing shit up, cars like GT40s, a few Hendy Ford rally cars, some crazy kit cars, lots of old Bitish stuff like Jags, SD1s, Stags, Minis etc, loads of nice Capris including a Rover V8 one and a massive autojumble. All in all a great day out. And next time there's a similar event we're hoping to get our MR2 on the club stand :)
Plus, to top things off the Mazda is going on Thursday, the hardtop is selling well on ebay, the Sierra's sold on ebay and still has a few days left, I've found a tidy 360 GLT, and have also aquired a garage for free out the back to work on it in. Result! :)
