What a fab day! Lovely to meet everyone and so nice to chat and enjoy the sunshine. And a very civilised chippy lunch too!

Going North on the A9
On the way across from Gourock; all together on the boat

'Like a millpond...'

click to enlarge

A most welcome, 'welcoming committee'!

click to enlarge

click to enlarge

Team line-up, whilst silver-fox takes the lunch order...

click to enlarge

Before a short, but very scenic drive, to our own specially laid-on private pier carpark for lunch. Collected for us by silver-fox herself..!

click to enlarge

click to enlarge

Thereafter, another very scenic drive, somewhat slower due to the increased weight of the occupants on board, to a very lovely spot further down the peninsula...

click to enlarge

Time for a quick pebble-skimming competition, whilst the seals called us from just offshore...

click to enlarge

On street parking...

click to enlarge

Then a trip back to the ferry to await our turn. "Goodbye silver-fox: thanks for everything!"

click to enlarge

Back on the boat...

click to enlarge

And a specially laid on Coupé-rainbow, to match the cars as we sail away...!

click to enlarge

What an amazing day out! I feel like I was abroad on holiday... Thanks for making all arrangements Ed & Silver-fox. And for impeccable tour guiding and itinerary planning, Silver-fox.

Great selection there DG.

Lunch on the pier, rock-pool exploring, seal-watching and coupe-parading complemented great company.

Many thanks Dee for the super-efficiency of the grand tour and organising the crafty bits of nitty-gritty smile

"Well hello, there!"

What have we here??!! 'His & hers' Coupés?

I see a recurring theme in significant exhaust notes developing, if those twin pipes are a permanent fixture!!

Spill the beans, Rosso..!!

Oh that day may come but not for a while yet.

This is a friends new coupe that we collected just yesterday... It was certainly a very enjoyable drive for me on the way home

as mines is still in the garage I tell you i'm certainly missing that exhaust note.

Not a hardship, I'm sure...

(Other than handing over the keys!)

Someone local to you, Brian...?

Yes very much local so we can have a mini meet everyday.

Sorry this has gone off topic completely but I don't think it will take much persuasion to get our new member to the next meet.

Well, I must say it's very exciting to think such a beast is in this neck of the woods

It's purchase was undoubtedly influenced by the sure knowledge that the best meets are in this part of the country...

A little movie footage ....

This apparently unprecedented event brought out onlookers and photographers to an extent not witnessed previously - wonder if there'd been some "tip-off" wink

Lovely location and weather - if that were around here it would be heaving with tourists.

...and I thought you were doing a little composition on a Korg Monotron!

If you need help mounting your bees, as opposed to just ramming them in a handy air vent...I could give them the escapee treatment?

Buddy has 9 rigging points, legs, replacement mouths, an animotor which was supposed to makes his wings oscillate but makes his eyes bounce instead. rolleyes

Oh and a 3 volt bus. chinny
Shouts "Honig. Ich Liebe Dich" in his sleep, crashes into flowers. etc

It's alright, Brian-

I'm disappointed enough that you couldn't make it

You don't have to be!

Any sign of repair work on the horizon..?
