Also, a short 3 second video of the jet car, for anyone who hasn't had the priviledge of having their ears blown out as it goes past! It should work in QuickTime of real player.

Haha, nice one Chris

Evening all! I was shattered last night - got in, watched the football and went to bed

it must be my age! Good show though, met a few more people from the forum and once again didn't wash the car once we'd turned up!

I took some photos and will post them up later on this evening
