Food was ok but a long wait for it. Admitedly it was very busy, but I enjoyed the banter.

No the calypso (?) cab was there when we came out of the pub about 4:30-5pm, wasn't there early on, . Then Fowler turned up, who I passed on the way home, just cruising above the speed limit buy 3 mph (gps checked )

Ah, right. Cheers Cotty. That explains that then. And Fowler would be in the A-Tech advertising board, and another very late arrival then.

Nicely cleared up. Thanks guys. Was starting to wonder if I was losing my marbles... more than I already had... :D

Should have just said hello, a lot of new people think the Zone is klicky. I admit I tend to chat to people I have met before but I have only met those people by jumping in and saying hello. Its a bit funny walking up to someone you do not know (even though you may have chatted to them on a forum) and saing "hi im XXXXXX" but it breaks the ice and you get involved.

Tej's car is an Individual colour, Santorini Blue. Looks even better in the flesh G.

Rushy, you and Tej put us to shame, sat there in the carpark polishing, while all of us with dirty cars just stood around talking... :o: Did you leave early 'cos we were putting you to shame? winkeye

munnabhai69, sorry to have missed you, I love Calypso red, and yours looks a prime example from the pics.

So who had the A tech liveried one then? Was that Fowler? Was the guy with the other lagoon green Touring that turned up later with us, or just a coincidence?
