It was great putting a face to the best mate of a spaniel  Some great photos there although Nero looks a bit grubby. A fine day out in spite of a rather bad hangover which the bacon butties helped a bit!

Great stuff ....apart from the Bright Eyes "incident".  ...good to see all the Morgans strutting their stuff - with some v spirited driving. And the 5 speeders ....BIG UP to Mark Reeves - he gives it some I can tell u!!  And he has never driven there B4. A great meeting - we really enjoyed it!  Did not enjoy my N/S exhaust falling off on the way home tho:((( Great pics SBM....good to see u too...and our friends the Scutons on track action!

Good to see some pictures although a complete lack of two and three speeders which were more numerous. The trikes you think were Trikings are! Quite well established in three wheeler circles, quite a few are, or have been owned by MTWC members. They are of course, under 450kG

Great set of pics, thanks SBM. The driver of sidecar No.15 looks very diminutive- a lady, perhaps? Gerry.

Love photo 1 looks like the two crash helmets are two people stuck in deep conversation till you glance down.

Steve, great day out and the report was fantastic.
You should a writer. You have such a nice way with words!
Seeing many of the people that are, I'm sure some of them in the pictures are members of this forum. Could someone put some names/MT screen names with the people in the pictures?
Thanks again for the great pictures and the wonderful write up.
Dan

Looks like a great time had by all  Now, what about those tyres (tires) ? They look like a high end pocket rocket "round sided" motorcycle types? Has anyone tried the bike tires over the original,, Avon flat sidecar tyre? Need to by something soon and was thinking about Blockley or the Corer tire they sell here in the un United States. Thanks for any input Orange Carrot Pilot Jay

It was a brilliant day and it was great to meet you SBM (Steve). Your unique coloured M3W was spotted well before you made yourself known to us. We actually thought you were a MTWC official when you asked us to line up by our race cars for some photos.
For the record, the black M3W 5 Speeder was driven by Nippymog (Graham Sherwood) with wife Dawn as passenger. The red one was driven by John Scruton with wife Jackie in the passenger seat and the green one was driven by me (Austin Smith) who had persuaded Julia Perry to risk life and limb in the passenger seat. She also played the role of Sunday Wife until riding off on the back of her husbands motorbike after prize giving...leaving me to do all the packing up!
Looking at the pictures I reckon that I lost most of my time against Mark on the final hairpin. How did he get so close to the kerbs...must be the tyres, mine just understeered to the outside. I found that pumping up the front tyres from 24psi to 30psi made not a jot of difference
