Jimi's JAE 2009 Road Trip
What a weekend !! great weather, great time, good laughs and even better people ! all in all a totally brilliant weekend.
It was good to catch up with all the folk I've met at previous JAE's and to put faces to a lot of names great to meet you all.
My car went like a dream, down and up. Used no oil, no water, just fuel and not a lot of that either
Left on Thursday morning 1 hour behind Mark and got to JAE 1 hour before him ( MK1 power rulez ) Took me 6.5hrs to get down (one stop) and 7hrs to get home (2 stops)
total miles = 841
Fuel = 99 litres
MPG = 38.6
Thanks to the Planning Committee / Setup Crew for a excellent job and everyone else who made the effort to come, you are what made it great.
Some of my pictures (lo-res) more here CLICKY

Re: Jimi's JAE 2009 Road Trip
Thanks peeps The pleasure was mine
It says a lot about this club that a lot of the folk I met at 2006 and 2007 were there again this year. Hopefully I'll manage next year and they ( and all the people I met this year) will be there again
A real bonus for me was the way my car performed, it's 21 years 8 months since it was built, as far as I know the engine is completely original and has never been touched, yet it still managed 392 miles in 6hrs without even breaking a sweat
I take my hat off to the quality and reliability of Mr T's engineering
