If the coupe is gone, ill pop up in what ever other car I have or the 500 and park in the car park! Ill be the one looking at other peoples cars as inspiration for my next vehicle!

Sorry to hear your bad new Dave.

I'll be there but I'm going to be late I'm on a stag do in Nottingham save me a spot.

Give me petrol money for the 300 mile round trip and I won't drop out Christ - that's a full tank (probably, knowing my less than relaxed driving style, more than a tankfull!) just to go to a meet! I'm definitely out!

Pretty sure yours will be the shiniest example there anyway so probably get the most attention.

Poor Belano would be all mucky and filthy by the time I'd driven her down there! She would receive only scorn and I'd get a slap on the wrist

Cor blimey, but, that's what happens when you put your name down for a meet......



There are these new fangled contraptions found at petrol stations all over the country. If my memory serves me correctly, you pay a few pounds and point a stick thing with a trigger on it at your car. Water comes out and I believe this washes the mud away. There called jet squashes or something like that

Well, at the time of putting my name down for a meet - there was this thing, paper like and in abundance in my wallet. Since that time, the papery stuff has all disappeared - perhaps on the new car....perhaps on alcohol....perhaps on women of the night...perhaps I just lost it all, who knows!? (I know)

Jet washers? Belano? NEVER!

Also living ooop North I'm rather used to petrol stations not opening til after 9 so my presumption was that there would not be such a service in t'middle of the country at such a daft o clock

Won't make it tomorrow. I found out yesterday that the people building the block up for John won't have it done until at least Monday. They've had the block for knocking on 3 weeks now and have just realised they'll need an oil pump gasket to finish the job

Are we expecting the weather to be dry tomorrow? BBC are not forecasting rain, so looks as if it is going to be OK...

James

I'm checking the weather reports tonight and if its dry I'll tag along for a coffee and bacon butty

weather is looking good for this with light cloud turning to sun. Car is as clean as its going to get however. Meet at the put as normal?

Yep the weather looks like it's going to be nice Pub it is then Sam

What time you aiming to be there? ill be on my tod tomorrow as the better more sain half is working

I'll be meeting up with Joe (FCSS) - weather depending - so we will be there around 8:30 Sam

just as well he no longer has a 16v, you should be able to keep up with him now!

That's just cruel Sam!

I'll be in Mrs CC's VIS but I promise to hold back and wait for you Phil

You'll need to mate, you know that driving fast increases the chances of getting bug splat on your car - and you know how I feel (or how anal I am) about my little precious!

If you sit 2ft off my rear bumper I'm sure I can deflect a few bugs for you

So im to bring the bucket of mud to tip over phil's car when we get there?

Fixed that for you mate - how true

Oh! Sam, cruel and now plain disgusting, I would never dream of doing such a thing to yours.....

Brown and yellow is so 70's

Two buckets please Sam

Cool, the weather looks like it will be fine. It's been raining here all day, so the coupe is not clean, but if I get a chance I'll give it a go before I leave in the morning. See you guys at the pub.

James

looking forward to seeing you there james!

Sorry guys I'm not too good this morning I'm still in nottingham a bad mix of go karts paintball and lots of whiskey yesterday.

whoa what a crazy night!!

sorry boys, by the time i woke up it was too late and i am still drunk, way too drunk to drive

hope you had/have a good day, gutted to have missed this

Thanks every one for a good day

Come on Tommy, where were you?

Was nice to see those who made it

As for Paul and Steve = lightweights

Yes thanks for finally turning up Sam

What a lovely morning, weather was spot on, didn't enjoy waiting 40 minutes for the bacon butty though

Some really nice examples there today, love the DB5 with the James Bond arm rest with driver aid switches, could of done with some guns and rockets for the M6 drive home and the V8 Robin 3 wheeler looked wicked

Picks of today are here.

There weren't very many of us, but it was good all the same. Good to see you guys again and nice to meet you Sam.



James

Nice to see all 4 other attendees - even the FTO crew had more than us Lovely day for it as well.

Still good times were had, no video taken this time only only these two shots...
