I take my hat off to those who turned up in REAL sportscars!! At least I know that I ought to put a fishing umbrella on Tom's Christmas list!!!

Thanks very muchly Paul, Mrs.G, Gaz and Rachel for the food and drinks!!

Good to hear it went well, so whens then next meet up ?


gttman - 27/5/06 at 06:22 PM

Like to also say thanks to Paul and family for their hospitality, was a good day which can be measured by the fact that he couldn't get rid of us.....

Also good to meet all the other local nutters that also came in their cars and got drenched.

Strangely enough, I had a huge amount of fun driving home! I set my mind to the fact that it was pi**ing down and I was going to get wet. As it happens my motorbike oversuit kept me dry, I was warm enough, so I just enjoyed my drive.

I had to sponge about a pint of water out of the passenger side of the cabin, but never mind!

Great day, so thanks to Paul and family.

cheers,
David

BTW: I'm still in awe of Trev and his all-aluminium car - and the fact that he'd driven from Northampton to Paul's place, AND was going home in stair-rods rain!!!

It's me that should be thanking you lot.

Full marks for turning out on such a sh**y day.

Just look at it now, blue sky & dry roads.

Next time I have one of my bright ideas tell me to **** off.



Thanks again,

Paul G

I feel an apology is in order.
Sorry I didn't make it (you have no idea how dissapointed I was)
As I said in the other post I have an ear infection. It is absolutely killing me and when it started raining that was just the last straw.
So, once again I am sorry I didn't turn up but if there are any photos of the day I would be interested to see them.
Glad you all had a good time and come hell or high water I WILL be at the next gathering (even if I have to organise it myself).
Regards
Brian

Hi Paul I would also like to say a big thankyou to you and your family for a great day good food and good company
It was worth getting wet for and I managed to have a dry run home

Regards

Trev

Apart from anything else, I REALLy enjoyed giving it some welly when driving away from Paul's place - I thought "it may be raining, but it's a good road surface, give it some..."

Hope your neighbours are still talking to you...

I meant to take my camera with me but got half way and realised id forgot.

Trevs car is an excellent piece of work and i cant wait to see Pauls when that finished. Theres some work gone into that.

Thanks to Paul for organising this afternoon even if he got the time for the rain to stop wrong, to Trev for the gas welding demo and to Mrs Paul for the butties. No piccies though


wilkingj - 27/5/06 at 09:36 PM

Thanks to Paul and the family for making us all most welcome. Even though I got my paperwork from the DVLA in the post at 11:30, I even got some plates made, despite Half -Fords disagreeing that a cerdit card statement from a bank was infact a bank statement. I had to go elsewhere to get them made, I got running a bit late, and it was raining.. I chickened out and went in the tintop. I think I cheated myself.. I will make every effort next time to bring the Viento.

Super meeting, just enough room in the garage, Good turn out by the Die Hards in open tops (It embarrased me!!).

It was nice just to meet up an chat..

Thanks to Paul and Family, and everyone else for going.

Hi All,

Thanks again you hero's.

Looks like Gaz has the only pics, and then only two.
Sorry Rusty, but they were taken before you arrived.

£12 . 83p in the Air Ambulance tin. Thanks for that. I'll get a cheque sent off.

Bllody hell. Hope it gets better soon mate!!


David Jenkins - 29/5/06 at 08:09 AM

Bad news!

Shiny, new and road legal car - and all you can do is to stare at the nurses...

One consolation - Paul's pictures don't really convey the stair-rods rainfall on the day!

Get well soon.

David

Sorry to hear that Brian. Hope you get well soon!
