Guys and Gals,

while I would love to be with you all this year, time and vehicles do not permit attendance this year.
Oh the shame of it, a still poorly 3.7 A8, insult to injury, have had to resort to getting a Japanese car that "does what it says on the tin" and even chucks soot to the rear, how times have changed!!!!

I'm hoping next year things will be very different, and, with a little luck, next years attendees can also meet Mrs. Trophy.


Best regards to all,


Steve

I'm afraid I have to bail on this guys, sorry The problems with my front suspension are not going to be resolved in time. Torque converter last year, broken hub this year. This car clearly doesn't like company

Maybe next year I'll bring the FE instead...

Why not hitch a lift with CtL?
On second thoughts, with all Angela's luggage it might be a bit tight for space.....

Does anyone else want to declare that they would/may like to come to the meet?

I may know of a double room (or could be used as a single) which could become available at the meet hotel itself due to illness - just in discussions about this today with the current owner/booker.

Anyone thinking of coming who would now like to throw their hat in the ring?
