Russell Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Just got back to Ipswich. Thanks to everyone who made it such a great weekend, some cracking driving roads and Carmel and I had a blast. Also the Spirit of the Event award was a very pleasant surprise, I'm just glad I was there to help with the right parts. Now off to get some much needed sleep. Russell.

Mik Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 If I got the technology right (sometimes Google and Facebook are a black art even to those of us who work in IT every day!) this post should link to a shared photo album where anyone can contribute their pictures. Please send us your photographs of the 2017 event so we can see what everyone else got up to!I'll leave the album open to contributions for a while, then I'll lock it and copy the contents to @TheBorderRaiders on Facebook and also here on the club web site/forum if I can.https://goo.gl/photos/mD5BYvu24Eqj7G6y6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve P Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Arrived back in Surrey at half past 2 today after choosing the drive along through Harrogate to the A1,50 times better than the M6 route,no holdups whatsoever until we hit the wonderful M25 at the M40 junction.Big thanks to Mik,Mike,Chris and anyone else who had a hand in the organisation of this years run,obviously inspired by the man himself.Sadly missed.Car was brilliant apart from a tired clutch but definitely a weekend to remeber.Now i`m off to re-float my liver.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixer6 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Back home in Devon now after a fantastic weekend. 977 miles round trip in the GT6 and ready for a sleep.Thank you to everyone who helped plan and organise the weekend!And thank you to the people who made the evenings special - you know who you are.Andrew and Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAC567X Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Apologies to everyone who was promised that a picture of their car would appear today. I was contacted by a senior committee member and asked to shrink the pictures so that they didn't do odd things to the thread. Unfortunately, when I attempt to do that the quality suffers to the point where the images are almost indecipherable. I'll keep working on it. Otherwise, if there are any G.I.M.P. experts out there who could offer tips.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
