Hi Guys and Gals,
Just to say a massive thanks to Mike, Neil, and Darren for all their efforts and reccies prior to the event, although I'm sure you will have all had tremendous fun researching!!!!!!
Many thanks too to all attendees, certainly made my weekend one to remember.
Lovely also to meet such nice people with beautiful cars, makes me think I shall have to make more concerted efforts to bring my wheels more up to speed, and attend to the minor points on my 3.7.
Best wishes to all, I look forward to the next occasion!!
Steve

I was just sorting out some pics this evening and this one popped up from the annual meet earlier this year, think they were gate crashers from a nearby care in the community programme

We must try harder to keep this unruly element out of future meets.
I heard some people calling him "Reffro" and apparantly he was driving something called a "Mercedes". . . . . outrageous. . .Im not sure how he ended up sitting at the end of that table. . . . .ahem . . . .

The German guys may get some of theirs "produced" into a video to tease more into coming to our Annual Meet next year so I will let everyone know and post it when done if I can. The feedback is good so far and several guys want to come next year
Well here is the "Montage" that the German guys put together for their trip to our meet - the music certainly makes it seem dramatic!! great stuff!

Good effort! However, it didnt show the point when Scotty almost ran into me after the "leader" chose to stop the convoy just over a blind summit. Scotty's right foot must have worked almost as fast as his sphincter ... and mine.
