BBB meet 25th june - Photos for website & zone fundrasin

[d6dph]

Evening all,

Richard has asked me to pop a thread up for the next meet, We are going to be shooting a load of photos for the new BBB website gallery and are thinking about doing the meet as a late afternoon (4?) start so we have a bit more "good" light.

Photos will be offered for sale for a nominal charge of £2.50 each or 5 for £10, All proceeds will go towards the zones hosting fees for next year.

I also have canvas printing facilities at work so can get them printed ready for the next meet, I wouldn't be able to post due to possible damage.

If there is enough interest I will get there early enough to spend 30-45 minutes with each car taking pictures, I'm not fantastic with a camera but don't do too badly and have some ideas for some shots that could work very well (no promises )

If people want to get up there a bit earlier say 2pm, I may do a bit of lunch, Big pot of chilli con carne or the likes?

Hi mate where is this being held?

[d6dph]

Raydon, Just over the suffolk border

[penton08]

Thats a good idea that I cant get there till after 5pm but my turd looks better in the dark anyway.

[d6dph]

Bump. Come on guys, If this isn't looking likely by thursday I'll probably just get up there normal time (7ish) and eat burgers while chatting crap

[Rav335uk]

Is this at BBB's premises????

[d6dph]

Yes sorry should have said that

[Dan320is]

I'll be there early as the guys are doing some bits on my car.

[harry_p]

will have to see, the mrs is away friday, but if she's back in good time i'll pop along for a bit, weather forecast looks like it should be quite nice too.

hope i'm not stepping on any toes dave, but i'm happy to lend my motorsport photography experience if people would like some tracking / motion shots on the runway?

still won't be in the e30 though

[Jhonno]

Hi..

[d6dph]

Harry, Any advice is more than welcome. I've done a little tracking work but always grateful for help.

Dan, Why did I read that as a super ghey "Hiiiiiiiiiiii"

[BigBavarian]

So how are the numbers for pics then or is it just going to be a normal bbq

[d6dph]

I'll be there early anyway Richard. I need to spend my alone time with Mr Wilson

I'll pop to the shops on the way and grab some burgers, I'll also bring a coolbag with some ice blocks to keep them cool

[BigBavarian]

I've got a rusty 'is' to sort so will be there earlyish anyway, need to get the broom out to clear up after its departure.

What time do you want the turd darling?

[d6dph]

This is tomorrow guys and girls. Be good to get a nice turn out

[harry_p]

I'm still entirely dependent on when the mrs gets back from manchester

[d6dph]

Aiming to get there for about 3.30~4.00 this afternoon. Looking forward to the banter

[d6dph]

Not a fantastic turnout so the photos didn't really get as much attention as I'd have liked.
Some spent a fair bit of time doing a wheel bearing on Dans 320is so it got a tad delayed. Got a few nice shots so will upload those over the next couple of days.

Was a great meet, Loads of food and some good piss taking.

[penton08]

The piss taking was great And it was a novelty to see Richard do some work!! Good burgers too

[Dan320is]

I think me and Richard now hold the record for how long it takes to do a rear wheel bearing. The pee taking was as always, first class.
I do regret not socialising more as everyone seemed to be having a great time.

Thanks Richard & Nathan, another awesome meet.

Also thanks must go out to all those that helped with things that developed later in the evening, I really appreciate how everyone got stuck in and tried to solve the problem. Team effort.

Twice in a row I've turned up and seen Richard with a spanner in hand.. Shocking.

Another great meet, cheers Richard and Nathan.

[BigBavarian]

Thanks everyone who came, sorry i was bit preoccupied with Dan and my record breaking wheel bearing change attempt, see you next month when i will endeavour to have more time and less spanners in my hand!

[mabz]

You did look like you were having fun with that bearing!

[BigBavarian]

We did! And we ended up fitting 2 in an evening so queue up for your rear end to be sorted out!

Rear wheel bearings, what a fun packed job, next ones Pentons - watch out for flying spanners!

[d6dph]

Pics are just uploading to photobucket now.
