Well, here goes, an attempt at a monster post of our 50-odd pics. I'm sure it won't work, but what the hell....

...the alternative way to pop the bonnet of a six!

...old companions...

...and there's the gorgeous 240z that smoked everything, even overtaking and staying ahead of an Evo for several laps. Someone who really knows how to drive, and a sweet car...

...phew!

some great photo's there mate. Put all of mine to shame. I really need to buy a decent camera.

I especially like the one of my bald patch... thanks

Thanks, guys!

Denise took lots, I then selected which to use, balanced every one manually in Photoshop and uploaded them...kind of joint effort.

FYI, Panasonic Lumix TZ3 with 2GB card.

Thanks again to everyone who made the effort to come, and the shiny cars - more wax than Madonna's boudoir!

PM me your captions, telling me which photo it's for. I'll put them up there (I take no responsibility for what's sent to me), and next Wednesday, the awards for Funniest and for the cleverest captions will be announced!

Now, who'll volutneer to be the judge?
