Sounds like a great way to spend a day and now wish I'd signed up! Good to learn something new and nice way to raise some cash too.

Sanjay, is that some Movember action going on there?? Double charity fundraiser! 8)

Mark we really don't want to know what you do in your spare time :)

Looks like another great James DDK day out. Well done everyone.

Hi Nigel thats not for Movember thats for my audition for the up and coming Arthouse DDK movie directed by Cubist starring Bootsy and casting by Jasper. I asked for a script so I could learn my lines and apparently there are none , so I assume its improvisation !!

Seriously though you missed a great day a big thanks to Chris and his team, and, of course, the DDK lot was lots of fun!!

Regards

Glad to hear you're taking the audition seriously - it's a tough game to get into but the rewards are endless.

Great day out - very informative (I'm almost looking forward to dismantling my suspension now) and it was great to meet every one.

Chris, Jane, Peter and Sophie were excellent hosts and will definitely be getting my business in the future.

Thanks very much for organising this James!

Cheers, Ross.

Surprised no body has mentioned the fact that we all found out for definite that LHD early cars are the purer design :wink:

Gutted I missed it but daughter won a gold medal and a silver in France so guess my continuing sacrifices are worthwhile.

Would love to go again if another one is ever arranged....maybe in a warmer month by the looks of the photos!

Glad you all had a good time, next time....

..and I reckon when I get mine on the scales, it'll prove that the oil tank being in front of the rear wheel is even purer in terms of balance....at least when the engines not running....

My first time meeting up with the DDK boys.....Just like to say what a great crowd, met up on Friday night for a few beers and Indian to get acquainted. Good company, food, Sunbeam beer and nice to put a face to names.
Great Farm house B&B there James, well done.......can't believe how lucky you were with your bank card.

A big thank you has to go Chris and Lad from Centre Gravity for talking us through and letting us get stuck into your car. I think we all learnt a lot in such a short time, You will definately be see my car next year. Lets not forget Chris's wife and daughter for keeping us fed and watered throughout the day, the sauasge, bacon sarnies n biccys were just the ticket to keep us going for the day. :)

Thanks again to James for organising and hope to see you all again at future events.
I'll try to post a pics when I get time.
Sanjey, just loved your LHD RS, its mint!!!

On another note, had to get back to tidy house for wife coming home from 2 weeks teaching in Nepal and meal with Tipec crew.......on leaving the meal around 11.00pm not realising there was frost on the ground I pulled away from a Juction and spun 180°c missing kerbs, just lucky there was no other traffic.....lets just say it was a ass twitching moment. :shock:
