funny thing is, Ryan

The guys were so intimidated by the TTE chaps. Lets face it. One of them looked Like a MENSA Professor and the other one looked like he could crush you skull between his butt cheeks!

I right pair! fortunatley they know more about those engines than Big Pimpin knows about Motel room rates! So I got the honest version from the vendors and as a result, made a rather tidy purchase! All I will say is that it is a brand that we all know and love!

And *** willing, Admin will give us a smilie to represent the feature to which I refer...

It's disgraceful you weren't allowed to have any.... Shame on you Dave

Possibly sensible though.

May have reacted badly with the 4 pints of Pimms you'd already guzzled down ...

:yack:

oh, and Can I also thank Mr and Mrs Winning Celica for showing me their naughty bits in the pouring rain. much appreciated and I look forward to a LOC vs TOC forced induction challenge on the black top...

[ifraz]

Excellent.... B)

What a cool weekend :P

Great to see familiar faces and nice to meet a lot of people for the first time.

Thanks to all the LOC organisers for a fantastic show.

One of the big highlights of the day was sitting and cruising in the IS430 :P

Other highlights were: Wallace locking his keys in the car, :duh: the rolling roads by Paul (Norkep) and Zee, and who can forget the awards. :winky: Congratulations to the winners, Bazza 3rd, MrBVG 2nd and Zee 1st. I have photos to prove everything :)

Photo's coming soon...... :zee:

Highlight for me was pretty obvious. but on the way home I pulled up along side a familiar looking Mazda MX5 and in the passenger seat (ifraz,Chris,Ryan,Zee) was a young lady we had met before at JAPS. SHe was still looking fine and we exchanged a few pleasantries in the traffic while her boyfriend smouldered in the drivers seat...  :P    :winky:

Is this the lady who got told off for talking to us at JAPS :D. Nice looking lady...how old was she again?

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND

I had a great weekend first big show i'd been to and thank you to all who me welcome.

met some old faces and new and put faces to cars,the quality of cars were brilliant and the atmosphere was something else even with the rain lashing down sorry i missed the after hours partying to old these days had to crash out in the tent but it sounded fun.

Well done Zee for winning 1st prize stunning car not taking away from everone else cars (should have had a prize for each model and i would as stood a chance with being the only LS there and the oldest car ) they did the lexus stand justice hope we get some picces in the mags in the next couple of months.

Sorry i had to leave halfway through sunday but had a long journey back and had to direct Tim and his mate in his well smart is200 (what a good looking car) to Dover, hope you guys made it back ok

Looking forward to the next meet ( but don't make to far away )

cheers

Had a good time too, great to actually meet some people from here in real life!

just wish i'd come on saturday and not on sunday as i did! by the time i got there things had started to slow down a little..

After setting of an hour late, and a 2 hour drive. we spend another half hour trying to carefully manouvre the Lex through the crowds without crushing someone's toes, got stuck at the Skyline corner behind a pile of garbage which took us 10 mins to negotiate, and if it wasnt for my girlfriend spotting the Lexus banners I doubt we'd have found it!

I was actually a man on a mission trying to find Insider, even though I had no contact number, no idea what he looked like, nor what car he was in! obviously my girlfriend was impressed with my organisational skills at that moment in time expressing some serious doubt as to me finding him! :D

Obviously me being an optimist I said all would be fine, and as soon as we arrived at the Lexus pitch I set of to find him. Or anyone else...

I had somewhat overlooked the fact that maybe not everyone would be sitting next to their car with their name tags on waiting for newbies like me to come and ask them questions all weekend long..

Luckily I spotted the familiar hairdo of Ryan (Rhaines) staggering accross the pitch, so I introduced myself and asked him if he knew Insider. he confirmed he was there and that he was " a tall bloke", which obviously dramatically increased my knowledge of the man! Sadly there appeared to be rather a lot of people that fit that description so I figured I'll just see what happens and I set off to have a look at the other cars. I then had the pleasure of engaging in conversation with fellow newbie John with whom I had a nice chat concerning Lexi, volvo and DVD navigation systems, and he pointed out Zee and Loz to me

I approached both gentleman who proudly showed me their cars ( still dont quite get how Zee managed to drive 3 cars to the show..?? :P)

Anyway, they were able to point Insider's car out to me so I now knew he was still at the show, and they kindly promised to let him know i was there in case they spotted him

I returned to my car and had a wander around the Lexus pitch again, admiring the IS 430 (what a great sound!! :wub:) and the Monster, and the nice line-up of Soarers on show.

by the time i wandered back to my car my girlfriend had tracked down Mr Insider, so we did our bussiness, and we had a wander around the rest of the site to look at all the other cars

(her favourite car.. :) )

anyway, when we had done the round we wandered back to the car, drove off and after 30 mins of so of rather slow progress we still hadnt got very far, and to make matters worse, the brake pads fell of the car!!!

this was not exactly what I needed, breaking down in the middle of the Exodus out of JAE!!

i managed to pull to the side, phoned the RAC, they came to the rescue, I had to wait for a tow-truck, they couldnt find one big enough for the car ( ), then they couldnt find a driver that had enough time on his schedule to get it all the way home, so they gave me a courtesy car. So I drove in with a Lexus and out with a Ford Focus!

ah well atleast it brakes properly... :D

anyway, hopefully i can get it fixed today and all will be fine. Atleast the JAE 2003 was, for me, an experience not to be forgotten, and I'll certainly be back next time!

...on Saturday!

Many thnx to Rhaines, Loz and Zee for the assistance, Insider for the hardware and John for the conversation!

[Loz]

Micelis,

It was great to meet you. I knew from our chat that you had gone through a lot to get there. BUT HOW UNFAIR!! I would have had a Bruce Almighty type rant if after all that I had to drive home in a Focus... Gotta give you props for seeing the funny side.

Its 8:58 now and I am in bed, in the office. bath running. So glad that I work from home :D

GOnna be making the most important call of the day shortly to Southampton... PssssssssssssT!

Hope you are all enjoying the reality of the office too... ;)

:zee:
