Hey guys, just got back. Great meet, nice to see everybody, shame everybody didn't turn in but it was nice to see the folk that did.

Loved being the focus of talk.... insults left right and center.. especially from somebody who arrived in a orange FIAT!!

Few pictures of cars at the museum and coupes.

great day!, great people, good food, amazing cars!.....what more can a man ask for (answers on a postcard! lol)
Was a pleasure to meet all of you, those I've met before, and especially those that until today have only been names on the forum.
Bex, hope I wasn't too difficult to follow with no indicators!
Rhianna, hope your mums OK
Whether you was there for the full day or only managed the Donington part or the meal, your efforts are greatly appreciated and I'm grateful to you all for sparing some/ all of your day for the club......my hat goes off to you all. :bow-yellow: You all made the day very worthwhile indeed :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Nearly crashed on the M1 laughing at total_headcases fiat as I went past him on the way home......."i love c*ck" all over his car written in dirt.....(good sport)
Kieran, as always took the ribbing he got in the good humour it was meant (and he gave as good as he got!).......and trust me.....his car actually exists,(its not an urban myth as some have suggested :laughing-rollingyellow: )
Anyway, some pics:

We did around the same in the Trossachs + Loch Lomond today, certainly know the feeling of a filthy car. Was red when I left and almost white with salt at the end :icon-lol:
Looks like you had a cracking day too at the museum. Nothing on the sheer scale or quality up this way that I know of other than a few aircraft ones but we have the scenery at least :)
Tis the start of Spring and the meets are kicking off nicely all round :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I get the impression that my Orange car was something of an outcast... :icon-lol: I'll have a different car next time - And maybe a clean one at that!

But yeah, it was a great day, nice to see the old and new faces, and I'm sure you'll all see me again at some point :handgestures-thumbupleft:
