[Martin]

I did stop for a chap in a white FD around Chertsey way but he seemed to have it under control. Not sure who it was though. I forgot to ask

thanks for stopping jit, wasn't expecting anyone to do that.
made it to the pub for the 2nd half...yay.
think my block has had enough, time to borrow an engine crane.

fingers crossed she's good for 7/7/20

Great pics, looks like it was a good event, I'll be keen to go if they do similar next year .

All your guy's cars run pretty warm! I was still in traffic for half an hour on the m5 yesterday, coolant sat at early 80's with the AC on .

Show off

Mate, the engine bay is outstanding! I’m sure we can forgive the front bumper looks good in grey anyway lol

No worries mate. Hope it didn’t take too long to cool off. Just make sure it’s definitely the block that’s had it before you pull it all

Unedited one cut video. Sorry if the narration and camera work is bad, it's not my day job!

Nice idea of the vid for those that didn't make it!

I love the end bit where you just happened to be filming the cars and not following that bird with a nice body

You noticed the pause before I kept panning left? Haha

 

[Ceylon]

Only just got around to watching @cib24 's video.
Good footage there, some awesome cars, thanks for sharing. The group B FB is so sweet. Did laugh at the RB/Bathurst bit .

 

[Spendyrx]

Haha and 2 fingers to anyone that says rx8s are shit! How awesome does that thing sound

 

[Jit]

Personally I think that rx8 sounds awful. Sounds like the exhaust fell off and was dragging along the ground

Also the sort of thing that puts Mazda off hosting these events.

Lol I did think that

Wasn’t sure if you were going to go side ways as well hahaha

I thought maybe you were gonna be chavvin it up as well but maybe you had turbo issues and the NA rotary couldn’t get you sideways
