We had a great evening with friends for a birthday bash , but I have to say, seeing guys like Kev, Bruce, Grunty and others there, I would as much have loved to be there with our two cars.

Thoroughly good evening, had hopped to get there earlier but with The Crestas first run came some teething problems, made it there under it's own steam (literally) also made it home thanks to Ed stripping bits of wire and switches off the wartburg and the loan of a precautionary fire extinguisher from Speed man, Much appreciated thank you. With the overheating issue I thought I'd better allow a good few hours for the return leg so missed out on the tomfoolery and spent a good while fiddling with the car so didn't get to chat to as many people as I'd have liked. Hopefully all Will be fixed for the gathering

yeah twas an excellent meet, even with a slightly lower turnout I'm confused as to why a few peeps with cool cars stayed outside and didnt come in the car park though! (turbo P6 and Avenger as two examples) but regardless, great to catch up with familiar faces and also great to meet many new ones A great day out Just sad all my cars were broken!

Night fell and the evil looking P6 rolled in And we got silly... Little & Large Seth arrived Nose to Nose The RR hardcore Almost worked Swirly antics No, Seths wagon won't fit under there Finally left nearly three hours after I'd intended after the photographic hi-jinks and nattering, cruised the A40/M25/M4 home and at 1am thought "sod it, I won't let it beat me!!"
