No problem Sarg. I might be turning up in, ahem, 'something else' myself yet. My S8 is in storage these days and could be having some work done at the time of the meet. Personally, I see mini-meets as a gathering of owners and friends - a chance to catch up - rather than a gathering/showing of our cars.

As for WiFi and networking, you can't go wrong with UniFi's stuff, especially if you're looking to install CCTV too. For home use, take a look at their Cloud Key Gen 2 and Dream Machine units. I'll have a chat with you about it if you manage to make it to the meet.

Nice to meet you and your partner this afternoon Mark.
Put me down as a possible.

WHAT? Mark, shame on you! :tuttut: Maybe we should turn up in Christine’s diesel mini to keep costs down?

We might pop along in this...though on second thoughts there's not enough room for SWMBO clothes :o

I'm with Mark on this one - when he, Ray & I were discussing this the plans for this meet, we agreed that this is less of a show meet, and more of a natter and catch-up with friends, which I think we've all missed this year.

So I too may turn up on something a bit more curvaceous than Herman too - variety is the spice of life, as they say +++

I know :-( But there's a dozen jobs I need to do on it before I put too many more miles on it, not least the cam chain tensioners and a pesky oil leak right at the back of the engine that's been getting worse. I'm hoping to have it all done in time for the next annual meet however.

And as long as you bring yourself and Christine, it'll be great to see you both no matter what you decide to turn up in. I'd actually quite like to see your TT but it would be nice to see your S8 again of course +++

Might need to set off a bit earlier than planned though, Stephen ;)

Sorry for "thread creep" but we stayed in a place near Lucca few years ago where the owner had lovingly restored these, stunning machines they were and you could just feel how much he cared for them when talking to him. Really nice old gent he was.

I love the occasional ‘thread creeps’ :)

How do you start with an A8 meet in Matlock and get to restored scooters in Italy? Brilliant!
