ivqii's Baur. Still missing its valence, but nice none-the-less

Gaszman's Touring. Don't mention the kids...

Jon_bmw's latest car, 318iS

oilycol's 4-door. The man with an engine shinier than Dave T's...

Suchy's Sport, This man makes me look sane...

PaulSport's Sport. Shinier than it looks in this pic.

DelphinCabby's first Southern meet. Welcome mate.

Post Mon Feb 25, 2008 7:45 pm

Thanks for a great day it was nice to meet you all again and nice to meet new faces. Some great photos, Nice one Gordon.

Post Mon Feb 25, 2008 8:38 pm

Nice pics guys, you can tell who the expert photographer is though. Suchy, your pics have a totally different texture to the rest, do you 'make' them look that way, or is it just the kit you use?

That's the best Nokia could do mate, my camera decided to have a flat battery moment, despite reporting a full battery on Saturday eve...

Super pics guys, well done all. Glad everyone enjoyed the meet.
Cheers

Gordon I'll have you know mine was the dirty'est.

Good meet, good people, good food. Shit slow service.

Suchy did I lose you up the motorway slipway!

After that it was all traffic!

The superior 4-pots rule again eh Jon?

I keep telling you Chris, get an M40 with a nice auto box...

Post Mon Feb 25, 2008 9:49 pm

Well done Gordon, good to see you all again.

Post Mon Feb 25, 2008 11:29 pm

Nah it's a combination of equipment and actually knowing what I'm doing (with a bit of post-production tweaking!)

Suchy did I lose you up the motorway slipway

Hardly!! I know he desperately needs a re-map, but he's not that slow!!!!

The superior 4-pots rule again eh Jon?

Get Fuct Gordy

A few more snaps for y'all

'I'm sure there's an engine in here somewhere...'

'...but all I can find is this hairdrier.'

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't keep up with the combined might of the m40 slipstreaming the $hitroen...

...& even the mobile roadblock couldn't stop them.

Post Tue Feb 26, 2008 12:36 am

Note how he is checking for the racing pedigree sounds...Yep not present!

It must have been cold, I look like i'm on drugs!

Post Tue Feb 26, 2008 12:35 pm

Jeez, and I wanted to push the $hitroen cos I wanted to go quicker. I knew Suchy and HKF would be unhappy going that slow...

Sheer class. I like it.

What's with the bumper? Is there an intercooler comming there?

And what is in front of this one his headlights? Some protection?

Seemed like a nice meeting!

Post Wed Feb 27, 2008 12:20 pm

What's with the bumper? Is there an intercooler comming there?

Nah Rob (HKF) was bored with the look of his car, so he hacksawed a section out!! He's planning to mount some huge Cibbies or KC Daylighter or something in there!!

And what is in front of this one his headlights? Some protection?

And that would be our council representative DaveT's light protection units!! He also has anti-stone grills on his fogs!! Not that he drives fast enough to get any stonechips- that's why his car is soooo bloody immaculate (except for his engine bay- his water pipes are awful)

Hmmm, I think I liked the idea of an intercooler better

Still, 4 of those KC Daylighters would be nice.

Intercooler was my thought when I first saw it, but sadly not!
