It was nice to catch up with old friends and to meet some new ones ..... especially Ian B Walker (thanks for the EPC), after all the correspondance on here ! there were some truly stunning cars there, Alps C36 , just soooooo low ! dare i say Mambos Beemer (beautiful, the interior is amazing) The wheels on ShazAMG's coupe just look fantastic, and what a colour , C43 AMG's er C43 AMG, you would have thought it had been dropped off by low-loader it was so clean !!! and what about Fastlady's old skool SL (wow)

Maffs CL as ever, stunning.... there was a good w124 turnout, nice to meet Janner finally ! Grav's 500bhp E55 (cool) , Scumbags SLK 55 , sounds awesome , I could go on and on but i wont ... suffice to say that everyones car was looking cool and i reckon everyone had a great time....

Apologies to anyone i didn't mention , and thanks to the organisers , top day !

See you at the next one!

A huge thankyou to all of you who attended today and especially Grav for organising and staying all day. That was great fun and lovely to see faces old and new.

What a stunning array of cars!

A special thankyou to those of you who looked out for my son (11). Thankyou to whoever bought my son his lemonade. He has no idea who paid for it for him but thankyou! Thankyou to Scumbag for taking Martin on a test drive in your SLK55AMG.

Thankyou to Maff for hurting my neck by accelarating in the beast!

A final thankyou to Grav for letting me drive his modified E55 AMG. :bannana: :bannana: :bannana: The noise of that car is awesome and it was very generous of you indeed. Thankyou.

I'll let others show the photos and that video;

PS. Thanks to Steve for fault clearing about 20 cars!
PPS. A big thankyou to those like Ian Walker and Scumbag who drove a very long wy to be at the GTG.

You will need a quicktime plug-in to run it in media player.

[glojo]

It's times like this that make you believe this is more like one big family, rather than a forum.

It is certainly a priviledge being a member, thanks for the excellent photographs and hopefully we will see pictures of other cars that also attended?

Regards,
John the envious

 

[PJH]
