Oh noes, it was yesterday. :( A good time, despite the weather, and hailstorm towards the end of the afternoon :? If I can get all the footage and photos together a vid of the meet should be up in the next few days.

My overriding impression of the place was that it's a real shame it was allowed to get into the state it's in now.

Good to see you all, and to meet a couple of new faces. I'm orf to Germany for a couple of days, so I look forward to seeing plenty of pictars on my return :)

cheers

So... a quick run down.

I get to see my new car!
Image

Something amuses Rupert greatly
Image

Camberz
Image

"I see ships!!!"
Image

One of the most drool-worthy cars in any museum... and it still comes out to play sometimes!
Image

Awesome tricycle, more loopy than a car made by Dutchmen
Image

And the cars
Image

Rupert's S80 and Jet... the first car bought at a V3M meet?
Image
Image

The album is here, but I kinda got excited taking pics of my new car, sorry!
