Pete's camera's colour balance settings need adjusting. Look at the rear of the white tourer on the right of frame. That car is actually Moonstone green!

I actually meant you to come in your car too. Never mind matey. Always next time. Was a craic. I think we ought to order our meals separately in future though as kitchen was having a nightmare, spoilt it for some. But otherwise was a good laugh and great turnout. Must have been about 15 cars in the end, weather was spot on so made it all the more as well. Hope to see ya soon

Was a great meet yesterday, always good to spend a few hours talking to others owners, catching up with folks and meeting new faces.

Good to read that Pete made it to Kent OK after the coolant issues - it was an interesting lesson in just how an airlock can affect flow and temperature in the hoses.

Interesting to see Simon's Dealer Launch Model close up, complete with rare early deletions.

Two of us 3 Colin's were there

Shiner's Typhoon, with shiny exhaust finishers (brilliant repair work on this car, I wouldn't have noticed if Andy hadn't pointed it out) and Yeti's Trophy Blue (I think!):

Default I'm no good with pseudonyms.

I've been following the links to try and thank who to thank for solving my headlamp problems, hopefully I know now. I think it's Andy/Shiner so a big thanks to him. If I'm wrong please re-direct my thanks.
Now for a tongue cheek comment, my journey home was blocked by a slow moving ZTT, didn't know they were so sluggish!
I might have wrongly identified the model but it looked similar to Yeti's.
