I'd have thought this would have been better held at a weekend so more people could go..?

I got an invite but guess what, Tuesdays are really busy around here. I wouldn't have minded a look too.

This is not put on as a public entertainment... it's put on to reach a certain goal.

It is apparently the date that is important along with the place. Fortunately I have seen all of the vehicles except the new electric racer, and to be honest the FIA series does not enthuse me as much as it does Don and Lord Drayson.

It was an enjoyable event. i believe as well as the significance of the event, the Theatre has weekend matinee shows as apposed to the weekday evening only show. As a consequence, the theatre itself would have been unavailable for the presentation. Starting up K3 on the Haymarket, using a bathtub for the water scoop was quite a site, and certainly got the attention of passers-by.

K3 firing up-



It mightn't quite be the right lump, but I think it's great that K3 can still make some noise! :D

News report on the whole event-



Seems a shame that CN7 couldn't be there and as for K7, well, ladies are always fashionably late! :lol:
