Went to bugjam yesterday, was there 24 hrs and came home again. Mostly because the weather was shocking but considering it was £135 per ticket the show itself was pretty lame so after many years of going bugjam I doubt I’ll be attending again. However I did run a 16.20 @ 84mph without the nitrous on street tyres, was gonna use the gas today but the weather put pay to that. Also saw Altern8 in the music the tent.

Yup, it was not brill yesterday. I didn’t come out of the garage all day and just fannied about with this and that. Shame about the weather bud , we did only marginally better at the Castle last weekend but it dried up on Sunday mostly for the show and shine. So who’s gonna get a nasty surprise with that bottle of nitrous then?

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,whole month has been less than mediocre :)
