Im glad to see we all had an excellent time and everyone's posts are coming in positive.
Im looking forward to the DVD Famine, im sure it will be as fun to watch as the Genome project was, so hurry up, you have no LAN to worry about now!
Who's organising the next one?
The pics all look great, and im really pleased Roo's mini is so clear to see, i just hope the caretaker never finds his way onto this thread, though if you asked him, he probably owned GTP at one point im sure....
Famine, the write ups were excellent, and had me in stitches tonite, well done to you.
Looking at the write ups though it appears i may have awarded the T-Shirt to the wrong guy!
Not taking anything away from Mars, who drove fantastically all weekend, and who deserved to be sporting a Karussell by the time he sat down in the pub on Sunday, but Spec and Daan both had a very successful drive on both days...
Must be that magic seat.
I hope everyone had fun and didnt come away vowing never to do anything like that again.. it appears you all enjoyed yourselves, and i think i can speak for smallhorses when i say he had a good time, though we will find out in the next day or so, im sure..
I had a blast, and enjoyed the courtesy of driving aganst human opponents, with the exception of one ring outing, as opposed to the AI of GT4, because its always nicer to see a car ahead of you moving erratically from side to side and genuinely blocking your path, rather than following a predictable line and braking far too heavily for a certain corner every lap as they do in the game.
Famine, the T-shirt is absolutely the best thing ive been given in ages, thankyou very, very much for that, its almost as cool as Daan's avatar shirt, but maybe not..
Definitely a good belated-Birthday present none the less!
Before i go get some much needed sleep, i have to once again thank all of you who attended, it wouldnt have been a party if Famine and Daan hadnt arrived with their kit, if Smallhorses hadnt caught that plane 2 weex ago, if The Cracker hadnt brought his "asleep while playing" and bird shooting skills to the fray, and if Roo, Specialized and Touring Mars hadnt booked their stay in the local, it just wouldnt have been the same without any of you.
I did miss one or two people i had hoped would make it, but there's always next time, and im sure they will attend once they've cast their eyes over this thread.
Roo, once again, thanx for eating the food, and for driving so well in the enduro. I dont know where you learned those lines, but it has gone without mentioning that you managed a 1'18.2 before anyone else did around Deep forest Gateaux, and you should be accredited for that.
As for bringing your car into the hall, well everyone can see from the fotos, that i found that fantastic and hilarious, and im so pleased you did it!
Ben, your combination of smacking someones elses DFP hard when you got spun out with your whooping and hollering for joy every time you got into first place are exactly what Lan's like this need: a complete fun loving nutcase!
Thanx for attending all of you, i had a great weekend, and i hope you all treasure your respective prizes.
Let me know when the next one is, and dont be afraid to give me a ring/text sometime, i'll always be glad to hear from such a likeable bunch of people.
EXelero, well done on securing the venue, it wasnt my choice, but turned out to be perfect for requirements for the weekend, and i think the extra space around the drivers was what made it work so well.
Right, im off to get some kip.
see you around the planet chaps, get cracking on the next one!
David
