Someone had an Octocopter flying about, would be good to see the footage from that.

That's the organisers. They had it last year but never filmed the Fiat Forum area.

I saw the "pilot" sitting over by the Lancias, maybe it doesn't have the range to get over there, if that's the case though you'd think they'd position themselves more centrally.

I did a video of the convoy on dash cam....including the mass turn around in Swinford. That old dear must have wondered WTF was going on!! I'll post a link when I've uploaded to YouTube for anyone who's interested.

My other photo's have just finished uploading to the 'misc' folder of the event gallery for those who want to look

Pay brother did a video himself, though we were right at the back as the bravos aren't loved lmao

I'll get him to post it on YouTube,

Hi All,

Not long home, so just a quick post to say thanks for a great event (my 1st here ) - very nearly turned up on the Saturday, until my mate that I was crashing with, and dragging along, pointed out that it was Sunday. Ooops

Had a fairly pleasant drive down from Glasgow on Friday anyway, sunshine most of the way until ~ Manc, then it pissed with rain. I was beginning to think the forecasted weather was going to be accurate, but thankfully not - it dried up nicely for Sunday, was great weather mostly. Even got sunburnt !

Anyways, got to my mates on the Fri night and promptly went to the pub. Then the casino. Think we got in at ~5:30am. So Saturday was a horribly hungover day, but had a bloody tasty carvery to make up for it. Then had a horrible hangover sleep, woke up at 4:30am, so I was looking knackered ALL day long on Sunday, and my hayfever was going nuts.

But, I survived, thanks to the copious amounts of coffee on offer - although my mate did manage to spill a whole cup of it and burnt his hand :bang: The sausages & burger weren't half bad either

Anyways, great to put faces to the many names, had a cracking wee weekend away - same time next year ?

Cheers,
Chris.

Oh... did anyone see ANY other Punto 2012s? I'd thought there was going to be a few, but looked around a few times and didn't see any others

Thanks to blu73 for this piccy of my big purple* monster

Video of the convoy in. I was at he back with the bravos following the Panda's. (Don't mind my music lol) at 6 minute mark was the "turn around" as someone cough cough* went the wrong way lmao.

I said Doh when one of his new nightbraker bulbs fell apart in my hand :bang:

Least you now know how to remove the plug from the back of the bulbs

LOL. We were about half an hour late turning up at Tesco (I blame Friday nights drinking shenanigans)... we were just about there and like it was like oh there's a Fiat going the other way...and another, and another... and... ah dammit....

By the time we went to Tesco, got cash from the ATM and turned around you'd all vanished. Anyways, when we came off the M6 my sat-nav freaked out, instead of sending us down Rugby Road into Swinford, it sent us down the A14, so we came in from Northampton Road... which, by the way, makes a cracking rally track on a Sunday morning

no problemo fella, i loved your number plate, you should call the car Homer lol.

Why didn't I think of that before!? He shall now be known as this!

LOL, yeah that was hilarious. I'll give amazon a bash for getting replacements, but if not will just buy replacements and send the dodgy ones back Thanks again for helping out with that... just couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the bloody plug out ! ha.
