Right please do excuse the quality of some of the pictures but its actually really hard to hear my dad's digi cam peep when its all focused, so some of the pictures are blurred. Plus the light wasnt brilliant!
First up we all met up at Bas Vegas... (Festival Leisure Park in Basildon) There had to be about 17 or so of us there. We picked up a few as we were leaving however! I didnt get pics of all of them because it was damned freezing and we left not long after I got there so just got a few snaps in.
(below) Aint she shiny?!!!
Along with the Rally Slag (when driving back to service in Wales a car pulled over to let us past, thinking we were a genuine rally car!)
Then we got to Southend and it wasnt actually *that* cold to begin with. Anyway we all parked up and went to a nearby pub to have dinner and just as we ordered someone coming along rang to say there was a traffic warden about & none of us had tickets, so we all dashed out en masse
Anyhoo we wandered along to the arcade places, wandered back, hung about with the cars, laughed at the sheds that drove past, drooled at the decent few that went past (RS500, 2 RS Focus' etc etc). Some people went out for a little spin for something to do and to get the heaters going, because it got cold QUICKLY.
We decided to move on but before that we took over a petrol station as a couple of people needed to fill up. Cars were actually turning away because they couldnt get near the pumps! Oops. After that we went off the "The Strip" where apparently there are loads of burn outs and things but we didnt see any of it really because we decided we'd had enough & all went home.
I'd say all in all at the peak we had 25 ST's parked up all together
Then this afternoon we got together at a pub in the A127, The Halfway House! Not as many this time though..
