Default Annual meet - report and pictures!

Well we are all forcing ourselves to have a good time here in the lakes - Friday evening was good and drinky, and after a big boys breakfast this morning we met up outside the Brackenrigg to talk much car b*llux and met up with the 4 German guys who came to join us from A8 freunde.

Pics and full report to follow shortly . . . . The rest of you are missing a fantastic weekend!

Just like to add our thanks to everyone for another great weekend, will get our pictures sorted out and a link posted up soon.

Had a bit of a "brown trouser" moment on the way back, as we were driving along in the outside lane some numpty drifted across the middle and outside lane in front of us, bounced off the central reservation for a few yards and then shot back across in front of us again on his way back to the inside lane, then he just carried on as if nothing had happened, can only assume he nodded off for a few seconds, but it certainly gave the Brembos a good workout...
