Had a pretty busy day yesterday. Got a reasonably early start which resulted in me & my housemates giving our cars a clean
Big german tank & my valver

V6 just before he started to put on his £80 a tub swissol wax

Then went to pick my mate Greg (creggers) up and got to a cliosport :shock: mini meet at Donington Park services. Had a nice little drive in the country which Greg got on film. I told him to edit out the downshift that I ****ed up before he posts it up :lol:
The turnout was crap to say the least :roll: but we met a couple of top blokes. I didn't take many pics tho :oops: Also met a guy who was coming to buy my spare fan blower called Ash who's got a williams, unfortunately he couldn't bring the willy so came in his van

This is dave's 182, doesn't look anything special but I've got mucho respect for what he's done to it. It was a fully chavved up 182 with a disgusting & piss poorly fitted body kit :roll: It was also crashed so he got it stupidly cheap & worked quite hard to fix it and put it back to standard 8)

Another guy, matt was there - Greg took some pics of his really nice R5 8)
We then went for a nice little blast and we learned how cheap tyres affect a cars handling :lol: Dave was quite impressed how my valver went round a roundabout while following & Greg got a video of him attempting to go round 1 quite quick and the result was quite funny, he went round it then turned off the roundabout - his 182 turned in really well - then the colossal understeer happened :shock: almost on full lock & still going in a straight line :lol:
Then we had to call it a day as I had to go to work :cry: After dropping Greg home, I got back to mine & realised I was running stupidly late :shock: but I managed to do the usual 25 min trip in 15 :twisted: so it was all gravy, made it with 5 mins to spare so not late at all 8)
Since I had a camera with me I decided to have a go at some night photography in the industrial surroundings of where I work
A few select pictures and the rest should be here http://photobucket.com/16v_paddynightshots
