Fairmile Arms Annual BBQ 2006

What a cracking event. Cars of all types from the willie waving mid life crises Corvette brigade to Austin Sevens and even the Barried up Chav mobiles put at the back behind us. There were some lovely examples of all types of cars with the pick of the bunch, probably the Shelby GT 500. What a car and in perfect condition. I am a little bit worried about the condition of the clutch on the Lambo Diablo with the blonde lady driving. As powerful as the car is, it doesn’t need to be revved so hard to get it to move 2 yards, lol. Our section was well attended and it was good to meet a new mini face. Darren we all hope to see you again soon. Also the Supra and Subaru owners club were also well filled out.
Plenty of willie waving from the Corvette owners club with a lot of “my Corvette sounds better than yours”, “mines quicker than yours” etc. All good fun to have a giggle at and at the end of the day they could back it up with the horse power to boot.
The BBQ was good and went down well with all those that had it. Shame about the queue but if you got in quick it was fine. The band were a little bit to be desired for. I offered them our services as our Karejokey skills were probably far superior to this band. Even their recorded backing singers were awful, bad enough to crack glass.
The weather, for the best part managed to hold out and with the odd shower it was funny to watch all the convertible owners run out in a hurry to get all their tops up, only for the light spitting to stop.
We all left at about 10 o’clock, even though the event went on till 1am. It is a shame we didn’t stay till later as the Corvette owners club had an organised “burn out” which they do every year. This is a must to stay for next year.
Overall a terrific event and a must to attend for lovers of all types of motoring. There were plenty more cars on show but too many for me list at once and even remember. A top, top event, well done to the Fairmile Arms and those that organised it.
