MG Live 10/07/09 - 12/07/09

[Adam]

Well it was a good weekend up at MG Live at Silverstone. Took both cars up there (didn't get any photos of them though :slap: ) and they made the trip with no problems at all, the new oil cooler on the track car working a treat.

Was good to meet some new and old faces at the show....Rab, top bloke, didn't get to chat long but was good to meet you....Adam, cheers for the port, you really didn't have to but it is very much appreciated...Paul Luti of Dreadnought fame, another cracking guy, let us perve all over his cars and was one of the friendliest guys I met all weekend, very jealous of the motor home too!

The old man and I spent all 3 days there, saw some very nice cars, watched some great racing, ate rubbish food (except for my burger/noodle/bean combo) and got quite wet on the Saturday night when the heavens opened. The weather was actually pretty good all weekend, but the Sunday did empty out quite a bit.

Anyhoo, here are some pics and viseos for you...

Very strange 4 foot high figurines...

Great pics, looks like it was a great day.

[BRMark]

I love the idea of putting a modern engine in the gorgeous looking classics!

[The Mole]

That MGA was good, it has special suspension and modern brakes, need that with that Honda lump

[Rab Anderson]

Yes. It was a fun but ultimately wet weekend. Nice to meet Adam and his father.

I have a picture of me on on the Tour de Silverstone Rally on the Friday but I need somebody to tell me how to show it on here.

A little help chaps?

[BRMark]

Rab - get yourself a free account on www.photobucket.com - upload your photos to there and then you can copy and paste the link beginning with [img] into your posts :)

[brmad]

Good job I took a couple.

Cheers Ad! Check out the dirt and the ultimate in anti-theft devices :rofl:

[brmad]

Can't you spray it ERM to really deter the tea leaves?
And it's dirty cos that was just after you'd finished the rally stage wasn't it? cough!!

[The Mole]

I bet he hasnt washed it since the last trackday hehehe
