	Had a great evening at the Ace Cafe tonight, after another day of unpacking SWMBO decided she'd pop along to, so we pointed the Camper East along the M4 to the big smoke. Rolling in there were a few familiar cars and faces already in. So we nattered for a bit and got some snaps in. ;D

	We then headed in as the Speedybump was in need of scampi and chips and I needed meat! With an ice cream for pudding After a chat to Keefy and Family we headed outside again as the carpark was filling up nicely. Camera envy from Keefy!

	The peace and quiet of a summers evening was shattered when KFW rolled in the beast. A crowd soon gathered at the business end! Ed minced past like "man @ C&A" And Kim took the weight off her feet by the van Plenty busy enough, I risked life and limb to scale a rickety fence post for Norm! Just as we were about the head home a shiny Lamborghini rolled past and parked opposite, the number plate was took much for KFW to resist. The Lambo owner didn't know what was happening. And with that we clambered aboard and made for home, SWMBO was asleep be Hanger Lane so I had the cruise home to myself. Looking forward to The Gathering even more now. The rest of the photos are here

	As soon as I saw cameras when we drove in my first thought was "Ooh I should take my glasses off!" - I wish I had now! Haha

Thats how I roll if it was me id contest it. there is no law that states a front plate has to be attached to the bumper, or the height it has to be mounted at, plus the font isnt illegal.

As far as I can read in the number plate laws, there is only one font that is legal for number plates, also the plate must be clearly legible from 20m away, I assume plod weren't happy with it hanging from cable ties meaning it swings in the air flow and therefore can't be read at speed. However, this isn't a thread for number plate laws, its a SummerSlam thread

Lewis ^^ agreed - what a tool - I shouted 'yay!' when he smashed it into reverse thinking he had grenaded the gearbox - not realising that was the 'initialise burnout manouvre' - cracking evening though!

	^lol! This crazy Irish fella (walking round earlier in the evening mumbling to himself) set off at speed in his transit. He then proceeded to throw it into reverse and do a huge rolling burnout going forward, but in reverse!!!!!!! On the second attempt he almost took out some passing cars and people as he lost it and went all sideways! Lewis
