	First of all, there are some people that deserve some special thanks! The organisation team of Keefy, HotWire et Al... bgtmidget, Leebo, Racer86 and Hitch for letting Toby and I camp with them. Joe76 and his Wife and son Seth for entertaining toby and providing hot water for essential Coffee! Jonny69 for letting Toby start and rev the rod! KFW for letting Toby and I climb all over the truck. mk14dr for letting Toby sit in the car. Dan with Ironhide! Benzboy and Steve for being cool and froody all weekend. Chris Pollitt for general Sharpie madness! Speedman for the photos! The Dutch contingent for the Land Cruiser photo and the Ananasch (sp). This was my first Gathering and it was amazing, I was a little apprehensive as I was in the modern and I had my six year old son with me. People, bring your kids to the gathering, it was an amazing experience for us both. A lot of the pics below are taken by Toby and show what he liked, he went through two batteries in short order so the pics stop early in the day... The Bond arriving after an epic B road journey: Some 309 inspiration: This is the face when a six year old starts up and revs a Flat Head V8 with open headers! Better than Christmas! Moon discs are really in as well! Dan demonstrating Ironhides Awesomeness, I swear Toby was waiting for his Delica to stand up! Toby drawing Bruces' Mystery Machine on Chris Pollitt's Merc: Toby and I on the back of KFW's truck! "I'm Jonny Knoxville and this is Retro Rides" Land Cruiser: Dean, Rob "I'm a celebrity" Racer 86 and 80's Nathan: Benzboy and I had no idea where Street was on Sunday morning, I must have walked past this about 10 times before I noticed: Joe76's ickle Seth showing us all how to drive the Aixiam: Sorry for the high content of people and my son in these pictures, it is just that I cannot really describe how awesome it was for me on the weekend with everyone being so cool and awesome even though I had a six year old with me! TL;DR Thanks for an awesome weekend people! Rysz (and Toby)

	Nice one Rysz, I'm enjoying looking back over the show photos. I still have a warm fuzzy glow and the seed of an idea for another project! ;D

Rysz (and Toby) Please don't be sorry! That pic of your son in Jonny's chariot, and the snaps of the people, really sum up the weekend better than any 'car' picture. He looks very happy, and that needs no apology!

	Was great to meet you fella - glad someone ate the only healthy option we bought for the weekend - would've been a waste otherwise! Toby obvisouly had a fantastic time and you could see his eyes lighting up at all the cars he drooled over. Made his day to be in the LandCruiser - and by seeing his reaction to the 'rod - he obviously has excellent taste. Thanks for the photo's - helping convince the GF my little one will be made more than welcome for next year ;D John
	Back from the dead..... kind of

	Good times! It was my first gathering too and I was impressed with the family atmosphere. Have to get her indoors along next time so I don't have to roll alone.

I cannot recommend bringing the family enough man, I was worried about it, but I was really glad that I did! Thanks for all of the kind words people! Rysz.
