Firstly; it was really good to actually see some Monaros at this show for once (usually, just me). I counted a good half-dozen - including 2 CV8s.
Nice to see BO55 doing his bit to sell the mods - I'm sold on the 'zaust and ripshift (wish I could get the headers too!) and he practically sold a supercharger setup on his 6000rpm note alone! Heh. Is this man on commission?
Actually - I'm also sold on the Corsa VXR...
Good to meet Pete (Astra coupe GTO setup)- just a shame the car wasn't ready in time to get it out in the open. Maybe Billing...
I saw a couple of CV8s hammering up the strip (14.0 - 100mph and a 13.something) - but no VXRs (I couldn't be tempted this year).
It's a shame there is nothing dedicated for us to get all the 'ros in one place - but that may change in the future (if anyone is interested). I didn't personally get any pictures, but I've already seen one of my car in www.clubcalibra.net. Anyone else take any?

Had I known there would be the opportunity to drag the `ro` would have been there.
Spent the weekend at the NSRA meet at Billing and Gary`s Picnic in my 1948 Chrysler.
Had a great time but couldn`t help wonderin what the `ro` would have beaten.
Guess next time I should check out the webby before.

was a bloody good day, mine was the blue cv8 on the strip, dont know who was in the silver one. best time was 14.0 for me, great fun. didnt get over to see B055's car but did have a quick mooch on way round to register, very nice made my mates mrs mildly moist for the rest of the day lol durty gurl.
crisis - Were you in that hellish traffic with all the old metal? We went past some rods and an old Camaro/Mustang etc. Looked fantastic. My mate said "I wonder if there is another show on nearby".. well, duh. Lol
PVS, on the Saturday, was £20 for unlimited runs until 9pm. Sunday was £15 for 3.. so it was well worth coming along. I didn't do it myself as I'm pretty sure the car would have broken on me (yeah, that's my luck). Heh.

Yeah was out on the cruise. All good fun.
Mine was the silver one going down the strip...
Wasn't too bothered about something breaking cos It was booked into Monkfish the following day for a HUGE amount of work.
Massive thanks again to those guys for working their nuts off for me all day Monday. I'm loving my car even more now... if that's possible!
I believe Chris (BO55) took a lot of pics on the day, he certainly took some of me going down the strip.

was gutted by the time i got over to where you all where yad all gone doh, maybe catch up with some of you guys at billing next month. so what you had done gas mate, was car standard on sunday?
Sorry to butt in, but whats at Billing?
Is there a strip and can we all go?
Chris, still getting used to this, bit new... how do I PM you?
The car was mostly standard. There was an aftermarket catback exhaust on it and a partial remap, not running particularly well. The exhaust was a chopped and modified version of the SP1 Loudmouth system, only found out at Monkfish the day after. Estimate about 360bhp at the fly with the setup I had...
NOW I got the focus pac (430) and ripshifter, and road response pac, and AP's on the car (expensive day Monday!) and a massive thanks to the guys at Monkfish, Roger pulled out all the stops for me.
It's a whole other car now
