thanks kevin!

i didnt think it was too bad considering that was on my photography camera since my proper video camera's battery went flat barely a minute after leaving the festival theatre... lesson learned make sure everything is charged in future

and yes it does look like we could be on the opposite side of the road (sweden?!?!) if you look at the pictures i posted previously there is one where dad was driving my car on the wrong side of the road!! only so i could get a better angle to take pictures... its actually rather difficult trying to lean out of a moving car! held only by my seatbelt

music is ALWAYS my choice moreso when its my car

had 6 cds in the boot and my ipod in the front so was working between the two... was going through my "hits from the 80s collection" and kept asking dad if what id put on was the right age for the car

cant beat a bit of 80's rock and power ballads for driving to

Cool

more pictures from our meet on sunday, courtesy of Gary Austin's son

some rather good pictures of my car there xenons look better than i had thought.

































what a day out nice to see my car somewhere other than in a garage and me having the bits lying around it

forgot to mention before, did NOBODY happen to notice me and my dad had dressed exactly the same ?
it was meant to be a joke but no one seemed to say anything to either of us

anyway thats the last from me i think, till next time
Nick

Thumbs up dressing the same

Hi nick

Hamish and i actually noticed that you were both dressed the same!!!! The pink shirts and the beige linen jackets.. We did find it rather amusing to say the least!! However, we thought that we would not mention it just in case you were aspiring to be like your dad!!!!

And they said i was there with my expensive stylish clothes, HA HA that was my point also, i am in my volvo and should wear my barbour and cap

i know who the sylish ones were!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A bit of humour never goes a miss...........

Anyway till next time all....

And i am sure i say this from all of us. Good luck with the exams Nick, as my little brother is doing his at the moment and its quite a lot of stress.

Once again thanks to all for a lovely day and the great pics.

Michelle'elise and Hamish
