Please enjoy yourselves.

A good meet and excellent lunch. Thanks Neil for organising.

Still not sure if Dave's car is the same colour as mine though, even parked side-by-side as his was clean and mine filthy.

Dave, my paint code is T5 on the build: Irish Green Pearl LZ6G/T5.
(The spare numberplate surround I have, which is a perfect match, is supposedly LY6P Ragusa Green!)
__________________
2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions, ski hatch retrofit; extended leather. Aftermarket DVB-T, reversing camera and full XCarlink (Bluetooth etc.).
2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Mike, I thought you were not going to Christmas meet. Anyhow if you want the exhaust it's available if not then it's available to highest bidder.

Thanks for organising, Neil. Good to meet everyone and see all the cars as usual.

24.7mpg on the way home to Essex thanks to the fog, I think that's a record

Great to see everyone - and thanks to Neil for organising, and letting me sit in the naughty corner. Looking forward to the next meeting...

Thanks to everyone that made it, including 3 cars from the Audi Owners Club, nice to catch up with friends old and new!

Heres a few pics including 2 of the 3 cars in the naughty corner (Mike and Angela parked their Skoda sooo far away and then walked to the pub )

Thanks also to Steves (Trophy 885) friend Ian for coming along to take some proper photos and we will be back soon with those also. . .
