Thought I would start a new thread so everyone can post up their pictures from the day as the other is getting a bit long. Uploaded mine to the PC so just need to resize them and host them before putting them up.  Again hope everyone had a good day and looking forward to next year!!

What a great day, thanks CoupeDave for getting us all parked together.
I didn't do the 1/4 for fear of car blowing up !!! But watching the rest out there made me wish I had brought my driving license.
See you there next year, let shope the Ferrari boys turn up next time.

Good day all in all. It was very overcast when i got there day but managed to stay dry and pretty much rain free all day. Muchos hilarity when the 360 driver turned up in a cap and puffer against some lads from Perfecttouch, whose punto put in some very respectable times all day, managed to wheelspin his car in 1st,2nd and 3rd all the way to the end of the strip where it conked out and got towed at about 10:30.. (plonker.) Some great cars there on the day although the ferrari owners club managed to show up with 6 cars....and the only one that had a go broke (makes us fiat owners feel that maybe we have the more reliable cars of the fiat group), so i have to say it was a pretty pathetic turn out by them. Car of the day for me was the stealthy ford pickup with a chevy small block putting out around 500hp  It sounded and looked so and the driver and mechanic were top guys. I managed consistent 14.4s all day, doing about 15-16 runs, my best time was 14.084, this was at 1bar mind, as i didnt want to stress my car to much :P and she managed to go all day without a single hitch Managed to hit a couple of 2.2 60fts and a couple of 0.150 reaction times too The jet car was awesome to see, as were the 2 Fiat 500s/600s, a couple of lambos turned up but didnt make much of an impression, same with the deTomasos, although the detomasos managed to only drag each other through some rather annoying queing techniques  Was not impressed with the quattroporte, i expected it to be much quicker, but there were some very questionable launch techniques by all the 4x4 alfas/lancias, the fiat x/19 (the fast one) was good to watch though and made a countach look very silly. Anyway some movies and pictures (im the ink black 20vt): The Integrales. Countach Daytona Diablo Awesome Fiat! Nice Camaro! (700hp) Jet Car firing up There it is...! Damn, wheres it gone! Major Burnout, yank stlyee! Worlds fastest scooter! Official. My fastest 1/4 My fastest reaction timeMe vs the Pickup (14megs)Me vs 300hp+ Thema Turbo (9megs)Me vs an Alfa 33 (6megs) Camaro (5megs) Me vs an Uno Turbo (5megs) Me vs a GTV (9megs) Me vs a 20vt (4megs)Me vs Thema Turbo again (8megs) Countach vs X/19 (10megs) Fiat 500 vs Beetle Dragster (5megs)Drag Bike (2.5megs) Drag Scooter (2.7megs) Bike vs Scooter (4megs) Camaro vs Pickup (7megs) Dragster (edited: messed up the hosting, so did it again, hope it works well) Was dissapointed in the amount of coupes that actually ran, as it seemed only 6-7 of us did more than 1 run if any at all, did get to see an intergrale blow up though  Next time hopefully the supercar boys will turn up in force and show us what they can do with their expensive posing pouches.

Hi, I'm the guy with the Maser,
Just thought i'd pop in to say how impressed I was with all your cars.
That was my first time @ pod and the first time dragging the Quattroporte, i was a bit worried about using the launch control after the 360CS with what is in theory the same gearbox lunching itself off the line, so I was soft launching, but it still couldn't find traction unforitonatly. On a good day it should do a 13.6, and i managed 3 14.0's which aint bad for a 2 tonne 4 door which probably isn't run in yet.
I have some videos of you guys kicking my arse if you are interested?

Hehe, good on you for getting some runs in with your new car m8, least you tried I was really expecting a bigger presence there for ferrari,lamborghini,maserati etc + maybe a few zonda's, hell theyre werent even any cheeky riders on ducatis :/ Ive been to a couple of Japfest's before and for me the turnout for the italian car day was an embarrassment, i suppose it is a new event, but in comparison it was nothing to be proud of

i've got quite a few pictures and videos too! including a race with an S3 down the M6 on the way back! didn't get chance to speak to many people, had a good chat with Taffy! can't believe i was first one there! only problem with these meets is that i now want to do more and more stuff to my car! even though i promised myself i wouldn't do anything else to my car, as i'm gonna get an LE or plus next year!

Markus was the fastest car of the day i.e. minus jet car, dragster and funny dragsters. He managed a couple of 12.9s without nitrous and a couple of 12.7s with nitrous... so very consistent it's quite remarkable. Markus also won an award for best car of the day 
There was a nice 360 Challenge Stradale which managed to wreck the gearbox I think on the first launch and was then duly towed home 
Hopefully Suba's car just needs a new oil cooler... fingers crossed ![[Linked Image]](http://www.fcperformance.co.uk/fcp-fb.jpg)
