Didn't hang around long enough!

You and Vard arrived as a few of us were going in the museum for a wander, when we came out you were both gone!

yea was our bad really! going out and seeing all the 800s has enthused Vard into fixing his vitesse again and hes outside under his car as we speak getting covered in oil and bits of engine block I would offer to go outside and help him but its far easier to sit inside with a pint in the warm ;)




Yea me Vard and Jago went most of the way back, my god your exhaust is loud!!! she goes pretty well as well what speed did you get up to ? I had my speedo needle off the end of my dial 8)

(my speedo only goes up to 180kph/110mph so its not as impressive as it sounds :D , just asked Vard and his speedo was reading 130mph, of course we in no way condone speeding and this was all done on a private track *cough*)

We enjoyed the day and being newbies at this, it was really nice for my wife and I to see all the different variants all in one place at one time.

We must organise something on a more regular basis that doesn't cost the earth.

It was a good day out. Lots to look at with all the other marks there as well as what was inside.

Thankyou all for a very good day yesterday. Was good to FINALLY meet you all after missing so many meets.

I thought i had a nice clean car, till I saw some yesterday, namely Stig and Neo. WOW :shock:


I think I put a name to most of the faces/cars.







There were a few people and cars I didn't tie up though...... :oops:

Maybe next time.
