For everybody at Pistonfest.
Discussion
I'd like to thank the following people:
Ted for arranging the 1/4 mile runs. Thats the best fun (legally) I've had for a long time.
TVR Power for the fine tuning on Saturday allowing me to run at nearly 175bhp of NOS it was a bit
when the car got traction and shot off.
TVR Motion for lending me the 19" wheels sorry about the tyres tho'
Austec for lending me there tyre pressure gauge.
All the Boys from the Photography tour for all their support and hospitality on the Sunday and the amazing photos that were taken. Looking forward to seeing them. Great bunch of lads and I hope a few more of us Pistonheads people will be taking part in the event next year.
To everybody from the Hampshire TVR region for all the great support and fun that we all had. See you all this Thursday at the Hen & Chicken.
And generally to everybody else who was there.
It was great to finally meet some of the people from Pistonheads and put the names to the faces.
Good luck to Topcats Warren and Charlotte with the racing!
And a big thanks to Shnozz for using the underside of my tent as a rubbish tip!
Sorry to Clair for losing her voice while cheering me on over the finish line.
And lastly I'd like to give a big thanks to my girl friend Becky for putting up with me disappearing every few hours to do my socialising bit.
Thanks again

To Cerbie450
Well done on winning the race - and THANKS for taking me out for a drive in your really nice car. That is the biggest can of nitrous I have ever seen!
Sorry you didn't beat me at the X-Box game - hope you enjoy practicing for next time we meet!!
Nathan
Glad you enjoyed it.
Hope your dad doesn't mind but I think I'll be copying him with the exhaust trims! There the best I've seen yet.
Craig
Glad you had a good time craig - still cant get over the drag strip, and the difference in d*****nut speeds between the exige and the cerby!
i started lining up insurance for the tuscan today... but the most important bit would be what do i change my name too once i've got it? tuscan2viper maybe
i fear i'll be calling upon your nitrous expertise soon!!
Nathan - i'm glad you enjoyed yourself and hopefully we'll see you at our next show... yet to figure out what that will be - but we have a fair idea!
Back to Craig - i'm going to have to check the F40 performance figures out again - what's your official 0-60, 0-100 and top speed on the nos cerby then?

Thanks also for taking Nathan out for a run. After spending 4 years with ME since the age of 7, we seem to have got our son back again and he seems to be trying to make up for lost time, so many thanks.
Well done with the run - the continuous burnout all the way up the strip made even the local hard-heads (who obviously thought we were a bunch of wooses with our 'pretty' cars) suddenly stand up and take notice. The number of 'what did you say he has under the bonnet' comments were great.
Feel free to copy the cans, just hope you don't think I will be returning the favour and copying the Nitrous

will add my thanks to all I met over the weekend. Apologies for being constantly drunk but it was the voices in my head telling me to do it.
Cant believe Craig drove like such a nonce on the way to stratford and then won his second drag race. Mind you, it was against a 1952 Ford Popular.... and he reckons chims are slow. Talking of which, has anyone mentionned that Russell did a 13 second 1/4 in his 4 litre chimaera against criag's 14.2.....
oh, did I really let that drop
top weekend boys and girls. Thanks to those who put up with me camping with them, you know who you are. I had an absolute scream. Craig, you have shillers to thank for clearing up all the shite that was stuffed between the outside of your dib dib scout tent.
If someone can host a video for me I'll send it on CD to watch when Craig beat a 1950's classic car over a 1/4 of a mile.

It was good to meet you all and not a problem taking Nathan out. Hopefully he's going to turnout to be another TVR owner some day.

Yes - Top weekend, lads and lasses, especially the Hants folk including
Craig - Big Bollocks for taking his car on the drag strip
Beccy - Top totti for putting up with Craig!
Shnozz - End supply of beer at the tent (shock)
Clare - What a darling with the frying pan (Flasher clearly thinks the chicken came before the egg)
Dave - The only man to sqeeze the entire contents of Sainsburys in the boot of an S3
Daves better half (sorry forgot the name) - Pakapicknik spread fit for the Queen with service to match
Wife (Ellejay) - Burning up a Z4 on the way home

Good to see you again Craig - finally got a proper look under the bonnet at your car - what can I say, its absolute artwork!!! Thanks for representing the Cerbera lot in style (smoke billowing out still as you crossed the line, awesome!)
Cant wait to hear what its capable of when you work out the right NOS shots and get the starts nailed. As soon as I get my hands on dads car I'll be pestering you about the system (and from a conversation with a certain chim owner - your next little engine project..)
Good luck in a few weeks, let us know how you get on!
