Title: My Elite at Billing 2011
Post by: twiglet on 06 July 2011, 00:18:50
Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd post up a couple of picture taken last weekend at Billing. All comments welcome...  :y

With the Pageant in tow...

A 'twins' shot with a fellow OOF members car on the ABS stand...

(http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx344/qjz10nyu/Omega%20Elite/Twins.jpg)

With my mate's Calibra...

Polished up and ready to display (the little white specks are the bloody greenfly which swarmed the park on Saturday evening!!)...

I doubt it looked that good when it was parked in a VX showroom in 2003. :y 8-)

Shame that someone was inconsiderate enough to park a burger van right behind it in the top pic. :D ;D

That'll be that new wax I'm using. Makes the car appear invisible in certain lighting conditions! Excellent security solution!! :D

Nah, it was off the stand on Saturday being polished to within an inch of it's life!!  8-)

Well pleased to meet you anyway. :y. Can you apologise to hubby for my deafness and thank him for his comments.   :y Twiglet appeared for a chat and twins photo not long after you. He is giving me serious competition in the polishing stakes. ;D ;D

Albs, sorry it was a bit dirty. I'll try and have it all cleaned up for next Monday!!  :y

I should think so too. ::)       :D ;D
It did feel a bit sluggish tbh. Felt like the engine was pulling 3500kgs rather than 1750kgs. :-/

 :D ;D ;D ;D

T'was nice to meet you too Dan! We must meet up again soon, as we didn't even get onto the subject of Cavaliers...  ::)

If you are struggling to decide which car to fit the park pilot to, you could always buy another system off me...  :-X
