Re: Its official we are GWR holders
This is for WRA2 Mike, when i originally set up the record because they already had a world record set by the mr2s in the Netherlands we had to change it to largest parade of toyotas,why don't ask me we have a record and thats the main thingwibble wrote:just to confirm mick, which attempt was the record for 1 or 2, and the record is just for toyota cars yes as the MX5 lot did 400+ so its just for toyota
well done to all concerend

Due to an administration error, your sent evidence was never logged as "received" in our system.
But as you say they could have responded to messages left and previous emails but it least it will make all the doubters ashamed.
