Your Pistonfest highlights?
Discussion
JonRB - was hoping to introduce myself to you but didn't have the faintest idea who you were!?! I did ask around but no-one seemed to know where you were (you evasive boy you)
Anyhow - last night I had a top night, as I guess you all saw. I was very worse for wear though and Stuart had to near carry me back to the tent at stupid o'clock this morning. And my head STILL hurts!
Had great weekend though - thanks to everyone! (except the security guard; he was a plank).

Er, I did see you hurling your guts up by the generator. You were clearly OK as you were able to give me the thumbup between blowing chunks...

Did enjoy myself though
Glad to see it wasn't just me who err... had a dodgy prawn...
Was great to meet you finally Tony, and I'm still chuckling after the PH day at the beach
p.s. great hoon too

Harddrive - glad you found your keys - I'd suggest washing the tent down rather that simply drying it - I might have had a mishap when caught short, should have considered the wind - and it was a long way to the toilet block
You bugger, at least it was on his side of the tent (I Hope)
Thanks for the warning!
We just put it straight into the back of Jase's Tusc without putting it in it's bag. I have to say it did feel very damp, and there was a slight smell of wee in the air, but I presumed that was jase for wearing (and sleeping in) the same clothes for 4 days in a row...

Sitting at the table with Mel, Schnozz, Psychobert, Bomber Denton, Rude Girl, Podie et al listening to Mel and Schnozz hilariously taking the piss out of deaf peopel and sign language.
All the time, none of then realised I was deaf, and had my heairng aid on, and it was only until I went for one of my sureal wees watching the 2CVs rave past, that Rude_girl explained to everyone that I was deaf.
By all accounts, you could hear a penny drop, as they were struck speechless and embaressed, and mortified...
Was hilarious when I got back, Rude explained, and I mercilessy took the piss
I heard the tale of the PHers going to the Zoo:
Small Child: "Mummy, why does the sign say keep back, these animals are dangerous?"
Bomber Denton: "See that one there, he's got a gun"

We always have issues with cars and the grass unfortunately. If anyone does any donuts then the security team will then be looking out for anyone about to do them again. That's what happens I'm afraid - it's in the hands of those attending. It's their lawn, I can understand their annoyance at people messing it up. They will also see it as an indication that someone might have had too many beers and might then do something more stupid. Cars and beer and grass - it's bound to attract attention.
Some of their actions might seem draconian, but that's just the nature of operating at a race track. They are expected to ensure that race safety is an absolute priority. Hence the paranoia about things like a football finding its way on to the track etc.
I found the security team at Snetterton to be very amenable and polite. I had cause to speak to them about a number of matters which all got sorted quietly and without you lot noticing. That's a good service from my perspective.

You actually deaf then, Neil?! I assumed you just had slightly less than perfect hearing hence only 1 aid?! (I used to wear them myself up until the age of 10ish)
Hard of hearing I guess, nerve damage before I were born. Should wear two but I got hacked off losing the buggers all the time when answering the phone...
Haven't laughed so much in such a long time. I nearly put my back out laughing (you are evil Schnozz 
)
Highlights for me were the trip to the zoo, and watching everyone do a double take at Corrine and Schnozz's tiger faces Must have looked bloody hilarious too to all the passing cars, "Mummy, why is there a tiger driving that car?"
Saturday night's gathering in the tent and having a bit of a wiggle to the Beastie Boys with Corrine Denton (Ooh those tiger feet).
Driving Rude Girl's Griff
And having a bed for three nights
