Thanks Mags, yes we were lucky with the weather. Certainly brought some great Cappers out to play.

Getting home was ok, apart from a faulty red traffic light that got stuck on red :!:
Me, Gazza & Nick wheel spinned through it, that put us in the mood to do a fair bit of tyre screaching on the way home. :lol:

We came through Greenford, just over an hour from the ACE to home.
Didn't leave the ACE till gone 4pm. Made the most of a truly fantastic day.

Roll on the next one, it's already marked on the 2010 planner at the ACE.

:shock: :shock: HOLY ****** ****** ******* ******* !!!!!!!!!!!
There we were Gazza Al and me saying that the grey cosworth capri is the fastest Capri in the country at 500 odd BHP. Then i heard a growl from the street. I looked in the street to see a standard mk3 with a hole cut through the bonnet and a small square box of metal sticking out by about a couple of inches - nothing imposing, but sounded like a bear trapped in the engine bay of a TVR. It didn't look as purposeful or menacing as the cosworth and we all discussed what engine it had in it as no one knew, possibly a 3.0 v6 or rover lump and brushed it aside.
I have this second just seen the BHP readout of it and surely that cannot be the readout of that Capri. Surely it's the readout of a nitrous powered skyline GTR or a V10 Lamborghini.
770 bhp :shock: Holy cow batman are you sure???? That is beyond comprehension. What a Jekyl and Hyde motor, a wolf (or more a Velociraptor) in sheeps clothing. Unbelievable. - mind you the reg is wrong on the readout...
