@ Speedster502, [Broad Northern] Tha's a great soft southern pansy if tha can't make it from Kent t'Newark! Tha wonts t'try a 12000 mile roundtrip (twice) before tha uses long distance as tha's excuse! Tha should also ask Touring Mars 'bout t'trip, as lad 's made t'journey t'other road round for SFGTP2 too! [/Broad Northern]
I'll try and interpret this as well as I can from listening to the farmers around Lincolnshire, they talk like that all the time.....
Erm....you've got a cabbage stuck where?

Seriously, I tried the whole thing and its still a no go, as I say hopefully next time. I think my parents purposely arranged the weekend so I couldn't go, perhaps to do with them being un-comfortable about it. I can't see why, only a few of you are...erm....Yeah. So perhaps next time when I'm 16. Thats October for those who are intrested. I promise, I'll scream and shout until I get what I want next time....

Can't blame parents for being parents, after all, you aren't 16 yet so they still own you 
Although I can safely say that there wouldn't be any problems at a LAN with this lot, I've never felt uncomfortable, apart from the whole Famine/VEXD love affair.

I returned earlier today as I've got work tomorrow and Tuesday.
Not wishing to spoil things for the returners and their news/gossip tomorrow, all I can say is that someone has come out and expressed his delight and fascination for big red knobs.
Watch this space...

And it appears I am the first to return and put fingers to keys.
That was a heck of a lot of racing gosh darn it, and it was jolly hard fought bumper-to-bumper, classic-car-hurling, Dutch-style-action-filled, spotlight-vanishing, door-mirror-phasing, Dodge-Challenger-teleporting, Eco-Car thrashing, Aston-draughting Clio-mowing, Range-Stormer-drifting fun too.
Although we've been through the party 'thank yous' we might as well make it public - thanks to all who helped organise this season's event, from those who found the venue, to those who set the races, and everyone else who helped in-between. You know who you are, so feel smug and happy.
I myself have eaten enough bacon to last me a lifetime, and it seems I still have much to learn, as for most of my stints of the Clio Enduro, I was smoking grass like it was going out of fashion. This is not the meaning of the above-mentioned Dutch-style-action.
Far, far too many double entendres were rolled out, and I do indeed like a jibe as the next man does, but when Specialized was greeted with impressive speed by Roo with a full bore epithet, even I had to quirk an eyebrow. Luckily, the massive insult was taken in the spirit as was intended, and set the tone for the rest of the weekend. My briefing included the words 'this is a family pub, so no swearing', and I then went on to invent at least four new swear words over the course of the 3 days' racing myself. There are squaddies who we could have made blush. I think some of the more inventive combos are going to be included as special moves on the next Tekken Tag Tournament game.
Results and general japery soon (probably in separate threads, when I've got a handle on it) but rest assured folks, we had a lot of fun.
Roll on the next one... and I've (rather foolishly) volunteered to be race co-ordinator for 'The Dixie'... so if you've got any ideas, PM me.

I got in at 7.10pm, but opted for the far more important tasks of getting some food and having a coffee first. Plus there's still some chocolate left over from Ms. Famine's avatar.
Cheers to all who attended and also to those who provided additional equipment in case of "bad" (Hugo Boss, VEXD and Touring Mars amongst them).
If you'll excuse me, I'm now off to drive a Mitsubishi i for some unclear reason.

That was a great weekend of racing, as they always are. Nice to win some events too, I got the Dutcho-style league, only by 4 points over Famine, over 23 races, I was delighted/smug with that win. That was tense!
I think this time around I realised how much effort Andrew/Famine (I know his real name!) and others have put into testing, though Car-less can be shot for including the Algore Eco Challenge, I've spelt that right btw. Big thanks to Roo for the lift, made things a lot easier.
I'm off to eat some Lamb Chops, followed by Lemon Meringue pie. Proper food at last! My Shortbread did seem to go down well, too. About the best it's ever worked I think.

Got back about half past 8, but had more important things to attend to, like the Monaco GP.
Thanks to everyone who put the time and effort in to make this weekend happen - it was ridiculously good fun, more THA than GTP. There was plenty of good racing, and some downright frustrating racing (like being beaten by Famine by 1 thousandth of a second
) and I look forward to the next one, so long as it doesn't involve that poxxy Honda Insight. Pictures to follow.
but
You'd fit right in.
Why the bit in French?
Nah, I'll leave it a day or two. Let you sleep on it.

I'd just like to say a big thanks to everyone (and there was seemingly a lot of you) who had a hand in organising The Nono - a great time was hand as per usual 
It was great to meet those i'd not met before: Holden, Car-less and Venari as well as the UKGTP regulars.
Since it's traditional to not post the Monday results
- who won the Clio Enduro and which track was it held at?
