Excellent photos Dave!
It was real nice meeting you on the weekend. I had a great time, despite making a mess of my first trip up the quarter mile! :oops:
I was hoping to get all the Chally owners together for a group shot, but it never happened.
Did anyone else catch Dave in the beer tent Karaoke on Friday night doing a very respectable version of Pretty Woman? He had all the girls (and a few guys) going weak at the knees!

No-one was more surprised than me that I almost sounded like a singer! :shock:
Must have been some fancy electronics in the system changing my voice or something? I will have to work on holding those long high notes. :s004:

Markie recorded it on his mobile phone. I will have to ask him how it came out. :D

Nice to meet you too Bilko. I knew the photo thing would not work out. Too much to do and too little time to do it. :wink:

:shock: What? Roy Orbison is alive? :mrgreen:
EMI Group where are you now...

Can't wait for the next EuroNats to hear "Lady In Red" :s023:

Ok ok it was nice. Even with that quality you can hear it came straight from the heart, bea(e)r-heart.

I am sure if it was recorded on anything better than a mobile phone I would sound even worse! :oops:

Actually I rehersed singing "I believe in a thing called love" by The Darkness but they didn't have the backing track for that on the night. :roll:
