I didn't take any photos today becuase I was in Row X and my zoom isn't great. Lots from Friday and Saturday though when I was much closer.
I think the knackered Smart got fixed, and they have several spares.

Thanks for the pictures, Dutch. Those are great. James looks awesome on the keyboards and there's one of Richard in his Evil Kenival outfit where he looks like Rowan Adkinson in the face. The Stig in the buggy with the motorcyclist is really cool. I watched the YouTube of them playing their music. That was great, although I would've like to see more of it. I need to watch that again.

Evenin all Due to being very excited at being in the same space as James, Richard and Jezza, my camera skills weren't up to much. My shaking hands were NOT improved by the fact that I was within groping distance of Jeremy and Richard while they were doin the Cool Wall at yesterdays MPH........   {sorry its so big.... cant get it to reduce...} |

Then Richard spotted my angling my camera and started to pose.... but every time I got myself sorted and about to take a pic, he'd move. In the end, I mouthed to him to "Keep still!!!" (much to my daughter's embarrasment) He did, and I got this....  |

This made me laugh, cos it was such an obvious pose..... so I told him so........ and he did this -  Which cracked me & my daughter up, cos he really hammed it up. I snapped this one & he gave us a really lovely smile & a giggle which my daughter's friend just caught on his mobile... if I can get that on here I will.... its worth sharing with you all |

Just got back - had a brilliant weekend, saw the show three times (Yes, I know...) and managed to get myself a little chat with James on Friday evening which made me an extremely happy bunny for reasons I'd rather not share. Also managed to get up close and personal to the cars in the paddock tour by virtue of going out drinking with the crew and being invited to 'cross the fence' in the paddock tour. Unfortunately, my complete inability to take decent photos means I have about a million pictures but only about two decent ones... *sigh* Don't worry Becks; seeing the show three times is close to normality actually (speak to wch!) Now how on earth did you get to go drinking with the tech team?! I bet the guy who helped you 'cross the fence' was the same one who helped us 'cross the fence'- he's a right cheeky one! The crowd control ppl were NOT happy with him! Awww it's lovely you got to speak to James again- gosh if he fogets you're a fan now he'll be in need of a memory transplant! |

Those are wonderful photos Bluebird. I love it when they play along like that. Richard is a real star and a good sport.  Much nicer that he's like that, rather than being two faced about it all etc.  |

Thank you both, Becks and Bluebird for telling us about your weekend at MPH. I'm glad you both enjoyed yourselves. You deserve to. Anyway, thanks for the Richard pictures you were able to get him to pose for, Bluebird. Very lucky, both of you. |

was a bit disappointed that James disappeared round the back when J & R came up the stairs.... but Richard did more than make up for it.

Er... I was at the last show on Sunday, now I haven't got time to go through all the posts on here but did they play the instruments at every show at Birmingham or like they claimed only on the last show? I absolutely loved it. I was in row D slightly to one side. That was my only bug bear the guys concentrated manily on the middle section with little if no contact to the outer edges, not even walking up and down much if any. Still loved it but felt slightly out of the action. |

Fussycat -
I was at the 2pm show on Sunday and they did play the instruments (badly) at that one.
Jeremy and Richard came up into the audience, too, but only the middle aisle.... lucky for us thats where we were.

I dunno really - Steve and guys came over to us on Friday night and we got chatting. We were probably having a conversation about cylinder heads or racing slicks and they probably thought they were in there with a group of pissed women who know about cars!! What was best though was that becuase we'd met the guys and they recognised us, on Sunday our friend's little boy got to go and sit in the cars and stuff, which made his day even more special. |

Yup that sounds VERY familiar! Oh they are a naughty lot! Bunch of flirts as well; apparently I have a nice smile! That milkfloat didn't know what had hit it! And I think WCH got to know Steve a little better than she expected! *winks to the girls* |

I had no idea anyone on the board knew the guys quite so well, I'm still quite new on here. I'd be interested to know more about how you've got to know them - in a girly chat kind of way, not a stalking or freaky kind of way! I thought the music/factual car bit was, erm, 'interesting'. I think it's great that they can add bits and pieces into the show like that - stops them getting bored and keeps us entertained! |
