Agreed, I really enjoyed the meet, well done to Rav to organising it, think there were 31 cars there in total!

Nice to meet some of you and put faces to names (especially as I'd not been to one before!)

Guys, what can I say but "Well Done" for the turn out, and for those who travelled down from far away places, Sheffield "Faz2cool" and Mancky boys, M3Gaz and Kieren325", well done boys for actually getting there.

And Baz666, for his Epic journey and dedication, picking up his Front bumper and valance, getting them on the car, driving down with a detour and i think it was about a 210mile trip on way.!!!!

Total turnout for the day was 31 cars altogether, with regulars and some strays too.
I think the weather being what it was today made it a bearable March day.
Thanks to Dan-fam for taking the pics, good one :cool: , and look forward to seeing the pics.
And to those who missed it, ah well, maybe next time. :mad:

I was one of the strays. Even though I arrived quite late I managed to speak to a few people and have a look at a really nice variety of cars/engines.

Next meet I'll get there earlier and make sure I introduce myself to more of you!

and I recognised your car first lol :mad:
It was nice to put some faces to names, just a shame I couldn't stay for long or get there earlier. Next time... :)

I think it would be good if people wrote a few notes(zone name, car specs etc) on some paper and left it on the dash, I think that would help newbies like me... plus it would be useful to easily identify mods/upgrades :D

Thats not that much of a bad idea, atleast you know whos car is whos then, only if its big noumber though, if only 10 turned up, then it would seem a bit geeky.

May I suggest you include 'bring packed lunch' as part of your planning?

I was most impressed with the speed you demolished your roast dinner...
