Fantastic sights, but as always these days, dominated by the Elises. I was told 311 by the marshal on Graham Hill bend ....but he didn't know if it had been confirmed. It was a shame that the build up was over so many hours yet still didn't get across the messsage to all drivers taking part that they had to keep moving and not let gaps develop.

...and since I was so near the back....I could also see behind me the front of the parade coming round to join back up with us!

Good to see you Gaz..sorry we didn't meet more of you.....

I think that it was just a bit too tempting not to back off and have a whiz around Druids :D

Does anybody know how to copy a video clip for me?

If you click on pistonheads website in JohnW first post and go into comments page 4, you will see MeridanTV link.

Any chance of copying it as it shows the Record attempt.

Timmo,Nick,MPx,me and my brother are all on it

Thanks Gary

Good to meet some old and some new faces :)

Gazza i have that video clip stored on my desktop, a bit large at 8mb for a d.load although someone on SELOC has also hosted it. Not happy, it shows your car then instantly pans away. Another 1/2 a second and i would have been in shot as well :( :(

If you don`t get it i`ll try and drag a cd out somewhere and selotape it to the rollbar :)

Please don't tell me they were chocolate hobnobs!! You bunch of lazy bas###ds who couldn't be bothered to walk to the front and offer me, Russc and our partners some :evil: My wife was going to kill someone in the car in front for a twirl.

Russ I will try to get that video, but your offer would be good if I can't. I did see mine and my brothers ruby red elise ( his was near the start and they voomed right in on it, what's the chances of that. )
