ok guys heres my take on renault day and some of you will probably moan as there is not many photos of the cars (in fact there is only 5 and they are at the end) but i thought i would write this from a different point of view.

Rather than just being a load of people that meet to talk about cars everynow and then, i am going to try and portray the more social aspect of the group.

So anyway after an early start for me and a slight detour across the dartford bridge and then back through the tunnel, Myself , Morris etc, Kenny, Adam, Lana, Jenna, Camden and George arrived at our final meet point (newport pagnell services) to meet Dan.



some pics of our cars.



PS this is camdens not Scotts!!







So anyway back to the tale... after some quick greetings we set off for silverstone - Untill we came off the m1 that is..... in the end it was around 2 hours to get from the m1 to silverstone.. the amount of people heading in the same direction was unreal.





After our two hour crawl to the site we were happy to eventually find the guys hiding in a corner cameras at the ready.



unfortunately some of us were more interested than others (sorry jenna i couldnt resist)



Scott and Bex trying to get that perfect shot





eventually i got spotted taking all these photos... so the honour was returned (this were all done at the same time)







after a short while it was decided we would break for lunch, which meant a nice walk for me, Dan and Kenny to the nearest burger stall. £6.80 for a cheeseburger and a bottle of coke!

so anyway by the time we had got back most people were finishing eating





By this point the sun had stopped hiding and the full power was unleashed onto us unsuspecting people.



Thanks to the sun i think morris may have gone a bit loopy!



The afternoon involved lots of shots of the track and a walk around the current offerings from renault though i think we all agree (apart from craig) we are quite happy with ford.

The trip home was a bit manic as we learned there had been an accident on the m1 southbound so we ended up going via the m40 which pretty much took everyone (me, Dan etc and adam etc) the wrong way home. In the end we all made it back and i think it was worth it, though i could have skipped the sunburn.

So anyway although in places everyone did do there own things i think all in all it was a great day with great company. I shall never forget the look on the girls faces after riding the waltzer

so as promised some shots of the cars (i took a lot more than this but as i mentioned before its not always about cars!)











what a lovely site to come back too

Really good post there Ian. I really enjoyed the day myself. Before going I firmly believed it was going to rain, on the day there wasn't any to be seen... which made it even more enjoyable.

I know what you mean about the sunburn though... I'm a little red lol

4 weeks until Ford Fair... I CAN'T WAIT... W000000000T!!!

Just to note, it was brilliant seeing all you guys at the show. I also agree that the social side was really good and we did have a good old laugh

Looks like you guys had an awesome time - sooooooooo jealous I couldn't be there

great pics ian will put mine up tonight

it was a fab day and a long one

hat to get up at 4:30 this morning to go to work got at work at 6am. fell asleep in the car and woke up at 11:00

Good pics Ian, straight to the point (your events of the day), I'm sure some of us will go into more detail and they'll be very L-O-N-G and still enjoyable. We had a great day yesterday, thanks for mentioning the detour, though you forgot to mention you still owe us £3 for the toll
They'll be more later, if Morris can keep his eyes open ZZZzzzzzz
We got home at 11.30pm and he had to get up at 4.45am, so one very tired bus driver today.
Looking forward to doing our write up, all good things come to those that wait
Claire (mo's missus)

ill sort out £3.00 each for you and kenny at ford fair!

and thanks for letting everyone know lol

Thats a brilliant write up with equally great pics to explain your events of the day Ian.

It was great to see new and old faces for this event, albeit that i didn't get chance to chat with everyone as i was waiting for that pic that everyone wants on a race track....you know which one i mean.

I had a brilliant day with you guys, and yes, i'm a bit red also today.

Ford Fair next...

Brilliant pictuers Ian,

Think you got spotted quite eraly on with taking pics of the group lol, Dave was at it aswell.

Great pics and a cool post Ian! You're a right voyeur aren't you!?

Especially like the pics of the convoy, quite a few cars you had with you!

A really good post and some great pics there.

I know what you mean about getting sunburnt also. The thing was... although it was dry and sunny most the time, it didn't feel all that hot at the time. I just kind of suddenly realised right near the end that I was actually burning. And I know am a bit sore.

I hadn't see you sneak that picture of me with the sandwich lol. I think I definitely need a haircut soon!

Don't worry Ian, I took loads of people shots, I like to catch people off guard!

Uploads soon...
