     Just to share a moment with you all about the effects of our club.

    Showed the photos I'd taken of the rally to a pupil in school today who is very relutant to speak, had the best conversation with him ever. He spoke most about MX Brat's cars Smile, & then the number of cars. Awesome, it made my day, so thanks to you all for having such brilliant cars, Big Smile Thumbs up

    Pity we're not running a caption competition, otherwise you could guess what I've said to Liz to produce that expression!

     Can't work out how to input pictures, found the image button and it opens a window and wants an URL!

    Re: *******Spring Rally reports and pics*******

    We can only repeat what else has been said about the rally organisation and the superb location but one other thing.......

    The runs............we managed to do the 'Best Of the West' on Friday (hilarious watching people "plodging" across the causeway at St Michael's Mount as the tide came in faster than anticipated, wonder if the lady who dropped her shoes into the sea has managed to dry them out yet  Big Smile) and then the Roseland Peninsular on Saturday afternoon once that sporty mob had cleared the area'. Simply superb and took us to places we would never have found in a million years. Well done folks!

    Re: *******Spring Rally reports and pics*******

     We agree with everything that's been said so far - a great rally in a superb setting.  Thanks to all that organised it and thanks for the runs, we did "A" and "D" together on Saturday and saw some beautiful places and had a lovely day's driving and exploring parts of Cornwall we'd not been to before.

    I've uploaded my photos to Facebook so feel free to click here to have a look.  If anyone wants larger and/or unedited versions let me know.

    Thanks again to the Cornish 5s for a really successful rally.

    Mal, if you look closely at the above picture you'll note that a parking marshal (the one in the foreground) seems to be paying close attention to a particularly well-turned-out and attractively presented black Mk2 1.8iS. In fact, the marshal is on (unofficial) Pisky Patrol, a self-appointed duty to ensure that the pesky little blighters don't get up their mischief with our cars. As we know, emmits are their target of choice!

    Re: *******Spring Rally reports and pics*******

    I would like to say thank you to Sharon, Mike, and the rest of the Cornish Fives for making us all so welcome and for Mike for clearing up the confusion about the parsnip soup.

    A fantastic venue for the Dinner and the Rally, we saw some wonderful places while driving on our  925 mile tour.

    Hope to see you at Prescott.
