I thought the front had a look of the S2000 about it, maybe a sign of what is to come in 2010?

That looks soooooooooo much better than in the Honda photos of it. Actually, so do many cars on this thread. WTF is wrong with photographers used by teh manufacturers/mags?

Yes, the car (possibly with a hybrid flywheel) should be here in 2010.

Aha - top pics fells, keep them coming!!

Yes apologies for my tardy meeting up on the Friday. I did truely have a shocker of a hangover after a night out on Thursday. Only managed to meet up with Chris and Jo (good banter! )

Still, the weather on Friday was great and there was so much to see! There were loads of highlights but two stick out.....
1. Having a chat to Jochen Mass in the drivers club at approx 7pm on Thursday - top bloke!
2. Red Bull F1 doing a quite superb couple of donuts at the top of the hill!

Roll on the Revival!!

Looks like I fecked up with the beers guys, sorry.

Was a quick day to find our feet on the Friday and Saturday I was driving so I was intending to do some beers with you lot on the Sunday.

Then I discovered I had no phone when the wife phoned my mate looking for me. Oops.

Anyway, FWIW, what a great event. Really a lot better than I was expecting. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm only just back so I'll post some pics/comments later as the pics are on my laptop.

Next year I shall be there and camping!

BBQ anyone???

Well only just got around to sorting my pics from the Friday, so posted a few below. It seemed a bit quieter than in the past - maybe the threat of rain kept a few people away. The machinary was unbelievable as always, and the mechanics and drivers all so chatty.

Damon Hill on the hill


New Scoob rally car launches of the line (I still can't stand the lights)


Damn! She got in the way of the car


Would you pay
