Partly my fault, I was too lazy to get my camera out
Me too...I was too interested in disturbing everyone to bother getting the camera out. Also, it was in the boot...that's SO much effort!
Hmm fail.
I was sure I took them, perhaps I left them at that guys house on the table....
Ain't in my car unless you put them somewhere that isn't inside it.

The DC2 ride was the highlight of the day
Glad you liked it dude, good luck in finding one if you're able too!
Nah you weren't too bad. It was the first overtake where I followed you into a gap where there wasn't really enough room.
I was a bit surprised at the white 'Teg though, on the way back from the pub I believe I was behind it and when there was a gap I was expecting it to go but it didn't - so in the end I did and ended up behind GIR for quite a while; was a hell of a drive that.
I followed the white DC2 to the pub and we were behind a Polo and some people carrier, I couldn't find a decent clear spot for a three car overtake and kept hoping he would overtake so I could get past the slow people too...but he didn't.
Yeah, DC2 was following me, then I saw SoliD come flying past him, then you appeared and I decided 'enough is enough'.
Was good fun, could probably have had the Golf but thought I better play it safe.
Lol! I was in sensible driving mode for the journey to and from the pub... didn't know the roads at all and the rain didn't help, so didn't think I'd rag it past just to be on the safe side
Was a good meet, nice to meet you guys 8) Thanks very much to those who gave me a ride in their cars... the Evo X is mental and the S3's new brakes from the R26R nearly threw me out the window lol
. DC5 equally as good as the DC2 from the ride I had in it, just doesn't have the 'rawness' that the DC2 has.
I enjoyed the fact he'd just randomly squeeze the brakes half way down the dual carriageway
"Look at my new brakes, 120.... now only 60"

I did overtake in an NSL, not knowing the road, and going straight into a 30 as a result.
I did slow down but for a moment I was going rather quickly, and I apologise.
Oh, and...

My car managed to avoid every photo
Finally got home from the meet! (bit of a detour afterwards though)
Good meet I thought, just a shame about the weather really but what can you do, silly of us all to assume it'd be nice in the middle of August....
I'd just like to thank the people who all sat in my car and made the police's job a lot more difficult when I pull off my bank robbery later next month.

Be interesting to know how they compared to the EVO's as I've not had a car with better brakes than the EVO X. But I never went in the S3 and the owner of the S3 did not go in the EVO.

I wanted a go in the Evo but was actually too scared. Everyone coming out of it was near to tears or vomming everywhere.

They weren't man enough to handle it tbh.
The brakes on the Evo were epic - quite literally it was ear popping stuff.
I think for most it was turning onto that country road and then just going full throttle and not letting off at all and taking that sweeping corner flat out, thing is the car could do that corner a good 20mph faster, just needs a lot more horsepower to get upto those levels. Then if that failed to scare most throwing it into that roundabout at the bottom and getting a nice drift on causing people in the back to get real personal.
