Great meet IC, not to mention the weather which always shines on the righteous lol

TR6? Well the paint on that old girl would put many new cars to shame

I agree mate a who’s who group hug might be a good idea next time if the turn out is as good

Cheers

LOL

That's the funny thing about meets isn't it, it's a complete bugger trying to match screen names to people

Excellent meet today, was great to have a good cross-site mix of people and the cars were all definately worth a good look.

Here's my pics.....

Default The future for Volvo? :)

With apologies to Graham

'twas a balmy August morning when I first saw the car.......

Bright red it was, and showing contrasting yellow badging which I was confidently told would herald a "new brand identidy" for Volvo.

I was a little worried, but one look at the badge on the grille and I knew it could just possibly work

Cheers,
John

Thumbs up

Fantastic meet as always. Marie really enjoyed it, although I don't think she will come every month.

Great to see all the regulars and lots of new faces too.

And Mike, the bus never came!

Anyway, I'll see a lot of you at Gaydon next week.
John, are you sure the wife won't let you go? After all you have a wedding anniversary every year!

Only joking, Happy 1st anniversary for next week and I'll see you soon.

Hear are my pictures from today. My favourite is the one of Mo (S60 MBS) hard at work under the bonnet of Mikes (mikecrox) S60.

Yup, was another good meet. I meant to bring my new camera as would have been nice to get some piccies. Unfortunately all I got was sunburn

Hope to catch up with a lot of you next weekend at Gaydon though.

Great meet - we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Learned a few more 'names' - would have wished someone a 'Happy Birthday' had we realised who was who - sorry!

Look forward to learning more at Gaydon.

Meanwhile, not many pics, but here's my contribution...

A nice one of Mike's (even tho' I say so myself!)







and, last but by no means least, one of mine...



Cheers,

Jeff.

Ditto - I am suffering from sunburn as well - lack of hair makes it all to easy Had a camera with me but didn't use it........

Still adding to the names to faces knowledge.
