well apart from the weather and leaving early sunday as just fed up of being wet, we had a great time lots of drink n bonfire as normal, stand was in the worst place ever tho imo and only 1 mk1 there all day sat, would of parked mine there but the ammount of stuff i had in the cars couldn't risk it plus it would of been half mile walk to and from the car so i just stayed in the camping area,
jay was as drunk as always lol, bbq, fire n music kept spirits up in the bloody cold,
packed up in the rain this morning n left site, got to tesco for breakfast and wow n behold it stopped raining and out popped the sun
hope every one had a good time tho

just one thing... everyone go out and check your spare wheel! got a pucture on the way back (oo not a puncture virgin anymore!) swapped it over no probs but up the road the spare was flat as well

I LOVE POD! _________________

Hi folk, twas a tad wet there.
I also did come looking for you when there was a break in the clouds, but only found your cars on the hardstanding & no peeps.
I did beep to Chris on way onto our stand, i was in my Green Vec today.
Shame i didn't catch up with you all. Billing aint far & iirc we're in the same spot. _________________

Blimey, it was a tad wet wasn't it! Why was the 'club stand' so far out of the way compared to last year, was it due to the numbers put forward Matt?
Didn't see any club banners either, was it just too damn wet and miserable to bother puttting them up? _________________

don't even know who had the banners, noticed the rain stopped when we got to tesco's, but was too tired n p*ssed off with the weekend so just went home, went out in car today and the pass side shocker mount has broke off, i now have a nice 2" hole to sort,
i don't think i'l be doing pod next year, i think more classic shows with a lot less chav's are the ones for me,
