hi guys fantastic day.
I just arrived home in Irvine with just over 800 miles covered since yesterday morning.

Saw a few tidy cars around the place and spent some time chatting with Dan.
Hope to see you and meet some of you at Billing

You will need to balance them perfectly or the maf readings will go nuts as will the lambda sensor. I only takes one body slightly out to mess up lamda readings. You need to allow for your idle valve as well

Had a great day, nice to see so many of you. The photo opp proved impossible with so many cars spread about so as TurboDan suggested, Billing will be easier to manage.

Had a good chat with everyone and will post some pics up later. TeamSlinky took some brilliant pics so he will no doubt be posting them up too.

I was genuinely surprised by the amount of attention my car got, but I put a heap of cavmk3oc flyers on the windscreen which all went so hopefully we will see some new members along shortly.

Burned to a crisp now though, or in the words of Mrs Humbucker, "wow your head looks like a beetroot"
