A very big Thank you goes out to Gary (lovel) whos knowledge and T4 were put to good use throughout the meet...(i have photographic evidence of it!!)

Coalburnflyer should hopefully not have a swimming pool in his boot and scooterchick should have a dry ECU for a while. Derek we will arrange a date when you sort out the cruise inset in your Steering wheel!

I have a few phots to upload of the Queensferry stop and Cambo will sort through them and get them posted up a bit later.

Pab great drive home as you say all i could see were your Xenons and Aldo's Angel eyes in my mirror.

Hope to see you all again soon at the SARR!!!

That's pretty good. I always thought the 1.8t was quite efficient.

That's better than I expected.

Anna & I had a fuel challenge on. We topped our tanks before we left and topped up again at Anstruther after 116.9 miles.

I achieved 51.6, Anna got 45.

You know what that means........your car tells lies and mine is completely truthful

A good service and I'll challenge you again!

Sounds like a challenge!!!

Okay, other than the fuel challenge I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who made it along today for what turned out to be a great day.

Having got two very tired wee girls to bed now I am just sitting down and going through my photographs and will post some of them later.

Too tired to think at the moment so will say more tomorrow

You saw my pollen filter, no doubt the rest are in the same condition. Of course another explanation is that Derek stated he didn't go above 75 on the way there, at times I was hitting 90 trying to catch up!
