Thanks for the thanks everyone
However, a day like this wouldn't work without all of you who came along. It was great seeing so many members getting together to chat about
their cars/setups/techniques rather than just listen to me bang on.
Big thanks to Jon for bringing the steak.
I do think we'll need to do something like this annually. As it was this year, Rocky track was the perfect location, with the bypasses being accessible for everyone forming a loop. Let's hope it stays like that in future.
A highlight for me was Chen letting my drive his new V6 GV. Getting a feel for how the traction control worked off road and what it did when we left-foot braked was very interesting.
Seonaid took a whole bunch of photos - I'll get some up on here soon.
Steve.

Thanks steve for a great Vid.
I could see him running, in the corner of my eye.
Thought he was going overtake me
Rocky Tk was the easiest I've ever seen it,
but I was still pleased to drive it for the first time in me Vit.
Coils and auto ROCK

Any photos that look like you kids are talking tech rather than driving and bbqing?
Surely someone was holding a tape measure some of the time?

Looks like perhaps airbags were being discussed.

Now now...
Let's keep it PG13 guys. Grimbo might be lurking.
Seriously though, we need a photo with a car on a jack with people pointing and pondering, or a blocked Q78 being test fitted on a grand vitara.
Surely that happened on Sunday??!!
