7th July - Downshift Meet

[Tobes_WIR35]

Made a right mess of that otherwise nice RX-7. I get the feeling they won't be invited back to Rocklea Showgrounds...

Unfortunately,

I followed him from Granard road too the meet, Chirping it every now and then. Can't say I'm surprised by the outcome, unfortunately.

Didn't see it as i left early.
Not sure if i will be going again as the euro meets are more my thing.

Thought exactly that, i saw what was in the car park at Runcorn shops in the AM, they were heading there, at that time i was going to head along and after seeing the ricemania in the carpark gave it a wideberth, not my scene either. Shame about what looked like a cool car if you are into it, real shame to see it end up like that, all aside hope the folk are ok

Where did the crash happen? Background looks familiar.

[Tobes_WIR35]

Looks like just up the road from the showground?

[RoryDSA]

Unfortunately all the chatter of the crash would be fine, if speculation wasn't saying it happened outside the meet. It happened quite a ways down the road, probably 3-5km's. No one even saw it happen, apparently there are no tyre marks to suggest idiocy either.

It was quite a sad end to an aweosme meet Planning is being made to get rid if the riff raff though

[Tobes_WIR35]

Been there done that myself when I was younger and stupider, it doesn't happen without a good measure of idiocy

[EvoBlitz]

Hey guys, was great to see that everyone made an appearance for this. The euro force is strong on VWWatercooled

Here are some that I took, check out my flickr for previous meets.



















Also head on over to Downshift for the event coverage and many more local events!

Still no love for the big blue beast


Maybe happy laps or driver training will be more photogenic

I apologise team_v it was a pretty busy day helping to setup and get things organised, so I didnt get all that much time for photos, but I do plan on attending the next happy lap session on the 28th (?) PS. this is when the next downshift meet is :O

No worries mate.
It isn't the most standout car to the masses.

I won't be available for the QR laps but i will let you know about the Lakeside laps sheduled for mid-August.
