Excellent meet everyone, hope everyone is home safe and sound. Nice to meet everyone again, and the new faces.

I see you've got your camera sorted Mickt from your new avatar pic.

And good work on the cards gentlemen, an excellent group effort, pushed forward well by Cornholio, Mick and I believe Dekay was responsible for the final design? I've already left one on a car windscreen this evening, the nice J reg 340 local to me.

Also thanks Gavin for sorting the moose stickers, I now have some work to do! I still have my window sticker of the url to put on at some point.

Andy (Pettaw) and myself followed one another on the M1, which in the dark was quite a feat in busy traffic managing to stick together. At one point I'm not quite sure who was more confused, the driver of another 300, a green saloon who nipped between us in the dark and off of the sliproad, or us. I looked in my rear view mirror thinking, that's the shape of and the headlights of a 300, but I'm sure Andy was a car further back, not directly behind, then it nipped along the inside level with me and off of the motorway!

Pics and video footage are currently being uploaded to the PC, so I'll sift through it all and post the best things later!

Pete

Just to let you know, the video that martin filmed today is now with foggy so when he gets finished on the movie, i would guess he'll post it.

Ahhh, excellent, Mr Bottrill will be a busy man then! I'll have to do some file tranfers with him to supply him with some of the footage I shot, might be useful. I've got a couple of good clips I might post in the meantime, until the genuine meet video is produced.

I got back (via a stop in Derby) a little while ago. Thanks for coming everyone. Special thanks to Gavin for lending me his coat - shame he left before I realised, and I still have it. Rest assured it'll be well looked after!

cheers

James

Yay, thanks for having me along! I got home, but my wife was too poorly to go out, so I came back again. Sadly I missed you.

Especial thanks to Redline as my spare wheel now matches the other four! Also for the groovy seatbelt thingies, unexpected but very much appreciated. Mrs C finds the belts uncomfortable on long journeys and I've been meaning to get something to pad them for ages.

Thank you too to Redline and d3k4y0 for sorting out the excellent v3m business cards. Oh, and thanks to you all for making me feel welcome.

Good grief, that sounds like an Oscar night speech

Just got back

470 miles round trip though, but since I did the thermostat on Sat, much nicer to drive.

Total miles I've driven Fake in 36 hours... 470
Total miles I've driven Fake in 3 years .... 675

Ooops Getting as bad as MJ!

Cheers guys, was a cool meet, and thanks again to Dai for pointing out that Haynes was again wrong, and Andy and anyone else who helped me do the belt
