Title: Second successful Bristol Kit Car Club meet
Post by: 'The Gaffer' on 12, July, 2009, 10:39:47 PM
Well, the second Bristol Kit Car Club meet was another resounding success, not quite as many turned out as last time, but it is a busy time of the year. It was great to see some new faces and cars too.

We had a surprise guest as well...

A few members with the new club banner. (Thanks to those who made a banner donation, I'm sure Bulldog Bri would like a few more quid in the hat if you are feeling generous ;) )

Thanks for turning up everyone, Lets hope we can get a get turn out for the up and coming Cheddar Breakfast run.

Well, looks like another good turnout. Wish I could have been there again, but I'm stuck in 95deg heat here in Jordan! Not as glorious as it sounds cos I'm spending most of my time working :(

I think I'm away for the next meet too  >:( and to make it worse, I'm not getting anything done on the kit so don't think it'll be ready much before Xmas!!

Banner looks good and I'll drop Bri a few quid when I manage to get to another meet (I'll return your pipe bender too mate :) )

Take it easy all, hope to see some of you soon.

Another really enjoyable evening, weather behaved and even with a few on Hol's a reasonable turn out with 4 new cars to see. Including glosjammer, with the second Tonic for the club, aka glosjammer (yes, he's come out at last. lol) Mark with the striking MK Indi and 2 Westfields, robp and friend (sorry forgot your name for now  :-[ )

The run home was interesting as well. We followed the other Bulldog boys back to Keysham, where we caught up with glosjammer, the Bulldog boys then turned off towards Hanham but we followed glosjammer down to the ring road, got caught at the lights for a bit, as we pulled away Phil had just got to the end of the Keysham bypass. glosjammerleft me for dust as we went on up the ring road and in the mirror we could see Phil catching up from behind (oh, for that 5th gear) we kept Phil in sight till the A420 roundabout where we turned off. Great fun guys, kids loved it.

Good to see you all there in your cars, a couple of the pics with engines showing through "holes" in bonnets in one of my galleries.

Our chassis has a couple of "holes" of its own now  ;)

Great to see a couple of other cars, got to say sorry as we ran out of battery power for the camera to add more into the gallery, as usual higher resolution picture versions available of those we post if you want them.

Great to see a mixture of cars each time.
