Good work Mike!

Twas a very enjoyable meet, as you said.
Sadly, upon uploading my pictures, I discovered that my camera has a ££££in fingerprint on the lens!:wallbash:
Most of the pictures are not too bad I gues, but they are not as good as they could have been. Anyway - nevermind, see what you think....

(I'm just erasing a few number plates - I'll post them asap.)

Nice to meet you guys!

Should I have a way of keeping her (the car!), then I hope to see you all again soon.

You have my vote to make this one a regular Southern meet. It was a hek of a drive home after I warmed upt the tyres, hehe!

Nice pics. May I suggest blanking out the number plates. Many people don't like them been shown on public forums for fear of cloaning etc.

Good to put some faces to names and see a fine collection of like minded people.
I too am up for more of these meets on a regular basis, was good to trade tips & see how things can look with a bit of time and effort.
I think Leon my faithful hound enjoyed the day too, half a burger and lots of chilled out people made for a good day.

Was going to upload some pics but they looked very similar to the ones already uploaded :nut:

Hey you guy's was good to catch up with you all and had a great day out. Thanks to Arbee for instigating the meet and hope we have a festive one later this year.(All the cars were great but Rens realy does live up to expectations, well modded and looks superb, shame circumstances means he has to sell but lucky for whoever buys it).

Sorry my mistake, hula hoops are healthy cos they have a hole in the middle, so less salt.It's just gone 8 o'clock and both my kids are in bed.Sweeeeeet.

I thought I got home a bit quicker with the weight reduction, lol.

The splitter is of RT Mechanics. I actually purchased it off him from ebay, to sae all of £5, but i wasn't to know that until closing. The thing is, quite rightly too, he doesn't like to post it because he has known them to go missing or break so he recommends you go and collect. £200 notes, fits 850R or V70R. See http://www.rtmechanics.co.uk/index.html

The car is on autotrader for £5,695. Sure we can work something out for members, lol!. But as I have stated, a bargain it is, a giveway it will not be!

Would be good to have a festive/christmas next meet. Be good that seeing the SOUTH is so spread out that maybe we can alternate between salisbury as the centre point for southies then go lyme regis to be nearer the westies and worthing for easties... just thinking out loud :rolleyes2

Great meet guys, it was nice to see not everyone on the site is UpNorth.

I think we should make it a quarterly southern meet, lot's of room and great food and service, we even had our own area in the cafe just for us, nice waitresses too, they seemed be happy to have us there.

It was good to put faces to cars and users, and like the pictures too.

See you next time hopefully(with some Mods done by then)
