Looks great, but I saw your weather forecast...I hope it's not just a splash-fest.   :(

Well what an experience for the kids anyway. Don't know where Scotty was getting his weather information as today has been the warmest driest day so far this year in Northern Ireland. DC put on quite a show in Belfast city centre getting up to speeds of 150mph and doing loads of donuts, one of which was done right in front of us. The noise and smoke was something else, I still have ringing in my ears, luckily I had ear plugs for my two boys. I only have a couple of dodgy photos as I had a seven year old on my shoulders and a four year old in my arms for most of the show, but I did get DC doing his donut.

Found these videos on You Tube. I was standing on the opposite side from where it was taken right where DC does the donuts.

There's nothing in the world like the sound of an F1 car at full song!

Nice David.  Sorry about the weather prediction - I had just watched the news and it showed GB under a big cloud.  Glad it was fantastic weather and you had a good time.
