we've just got back (well 20 mins ago but even i have to eat) managed to actually overtake 2 caravanners and an argos wagon on the way back :mrgreen: :mrgreen: result :lol:

big thanks to everyone who came and made it such a great weekend 8) 8) this years was definitely the best socially we had a huge crowd round in the evenings both friday and sat night :D got to meet some new faces and catch up with some old ones, we counted over 100 vans on the field sunday 8)

The weekend wouldnt have been so good without all the help i get we've loads of improvements to make next year even better 8)

The light show was a big hit and that will certainly be back next year, the pitstop tent was always busy and a great place to talk shop with a knowlidgable and friendly bunch thanks to MinorMatt and his crew especially Dieselhead :mrgreen: Mealic's disco entertainment was the best yet - brilliant to see so many people having a good time 8) All those who brought their kids along i hope they enjoyed it as much as my daughter did 8) - it was great to see them all there and getting involved especially judging the light show 8) The show and shine was a little down on last year but the quality of vans was top notch - we do need to get more of the early transits there next year :idea:

It will get confirmed later but I will do my best to book the same field for the same weekend next year so keep your diarys free - roll on Transitmania 7 8) 8)

Gets better every year :D Big thanks to all who organised and contributed to a fantastic weekend :D Had a great time and got to meet some great guys as well as catching up with some "old friends"
Stayed the extra night as I had too much beer to bring back so put another hole in it last night (well it would have been rude not to :lol: )

Already looking forward to TM7 (hopefully next year i'll turn up in a transit that people will want to look at) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
