Was a good event, nice to put some names to faces :)

Cheers.

My thank you list :winky:

First of all my thanks go to David Crouch of Toyota GB for his help and support on my first large event organisation, to Nick Heels of Property Services for the F1 Simulator, to Mike Tasker of MSL for the hospitality suite and excellent cover for Anne’s Celica (one of the perks for being the first on stand for the set up)

It was a real shame about “Toyota Village”, the frantic phone calls to all involved the day before set up were unfortunately in vain but hats off to them for making the hospitality suite available at such short notice.

A huge thanks goes to Janey for her organisation, help and support - especially with the cash collection from you tight-wad Locers………(kidding guys). Because my biggest worry was that the curry night would end up with wrong/missed orders (well done Hot n Spice for getting it right). Thank you to all that survived my bbq. Getting hundreds of pounds worth of meat, stuffing it into our freezer n fridges, then worrying that enough was ordered……well this was a bit daunting! Thank you to the Tocers who saved my sanity with their help and support, Caroline (my bbq extraordinaire assistant), ALL the Loc/Toc moderators attending, as well as the Loc/Toc members who helped with my erections! (gazebos).

Thank you to boss man Steve for getting us that fantastic gas BBQ (It worked a treat), the trophies, the gazebo’s, loads of other stuff I can’t remember and the 100,000 mile round trip journey to deliver and collect it all.

My biggest thanks of all goes to my wife Anne, for putting up with my constant mood swings during the months taken organising the event……Thank you sweetheart…

Thank you to all the hardy members of both Toc & Loc who travelled far and wide braving the less than clement weather to attend JAE 2007

An excellent weekend as always, great to see everyone, it was superb to see such a great turn out.

Still chucking at Kirsty's supercharger impression, Ally's impromptu gazebo push and many other laughs we had.

Big thanks to Les (Giddlepin) for all his hard work, MonsterMat for getting the LOC ball rolling & to Bazza for putting up with me

Well done to all of LOC & TOC who braved the weather and made the weekend a great weekend without all of you guys & gals there would be no JAE :D

[derekyau]

yes, yes, and yes.

Think most people have said it all!

Was another fun year, albeit a little wet! :tsktsk:

Maybe someone forgot to invite the sun to JAE...

Thanks to all those that help to organise it all :)

Good to meet some new people and just to have a chin-wag really!

And am I the only one that always feels like falling asleep on the way home from JAE...

Hope everyone got home safely :)

Will be posting up my pics (and probably vids...) shortly on Facebook if anyone uses it...

Ah, Monday morning at work :D

"GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY, HOW'S THINGS?.............WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHY ARE MY TROUSERS WET?"

I remember to that..... heheheeee..... suddenly somebody tried to take down our tent....

The whole tent was shaking as like during an earthquake and then we saw him laying in the mud outside.

Although the rain we had much fun yes,

but hope next year somebody invites the sun....

[Chris.S]

Amazingly enough with the rain i think ive managed to get sun stroke lol

My JAE was a short one this year. I didn't fancy the rain Saturday (plus had a terrible hangover) so I thought I'd give it a miss. I know - lightweight

However I did manage 6 hours on Sunday, a few spent in the pub though and still got to see some lovely cars. Was very impressed with the latest addition to the Sumo boys cars. Laughed very hard at seeing a Micra put on Thors dyno. It put out 85 bhp with some nasty looking **** being blown out the huge exhaust

Was nice to see a few of you guys once more, although most had left for home by then. Dave your car was looking very nice indeed mate. Very impressive yet still had an OEM look to it. Very sleeper :winky:

Maybe next year I too can have a car, just maybe 4th time lucky

[RoadRash]

ADIE

Had you been there with your car??

Wanted to meet you.....

DAZA W I also missed you!!!

I arrived Sunday morning and was told you'd already left. I didn't have the car with me either. I was in my mates lime green Supra yet again.

Pity you didn't manage to have your car either. Maybe next year I'll get to see it with a turbo :winky:

[RoadRash]

....erm....

....yesterday I got back to Belgrade (Serbia) and we have here 45°C...

[Raz_IS200]

I had a very short JAE as well...! Was meant to be back on Sunday but got swamped with work from the office on Sat night...

Just my luck!

Nice to see you lot though...

Did anyone get any bargains from JAE?

[Tuff]

gutted i didnt make it, boss wouldnt let me have the time off work. but glad you all enjoyed it :)

[Monster-Mat]

well ive just got back.........

well actually i got back at 10:30 sunday evening, but left for work at 0530 monday, and have just finished

another brilliant JAE, made better by the great members.

was good to meet the old and bold, but more important the new members...thank you all that came

big thanks to Les, for the hard work, and the bar-b-q

bigger thanks to janey, and barrie, who are like a mum and dad to me, and in times of utter confusion on my behalf, are always there to help.....and more often than not, sort things out.....for the few weeks leading upto JAE i wasnt reallyu available to get a full grip of what was going on due to work, and Jane made sure all carried on running just swell........THANK YOU

and of course thanks to Steve, for the journey that brought the stuff up, and returned it,

and thanks to the other people, and moderators that helped in what ways they could all weekend....

Thank you, everyone, see you all next year, if not before

(id also like to thank, Sam, Shaun, Wayne and Phil and Mark for the help when at TDI, and all for the support at JAE, it was very much appreciated by myself, and the club)

Mat
