Gerry Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Brilliant day..... Many thanx Mawby for the planning, shame you and Genna wern't there. Thanx to Andy & Susan for a brilliant leadership job, kept us all together with sensible speeds plus a few lattle blasts, plus found a great place to finish up ! Nice to meet old & new faces - glad you enjoyed it Corni' Went on some roads that I've never been on before, and a trip to Beachy Head (although couldn't persuade S00 to have close look over the edge) ! Hope you all got home safely, had a little play with a Noble GTO just after we left the A23 (think you saw him Andy) nice car..... Have a good day today those who are doing car (and plane) things !!!

mawby Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Well guys I'm glad you all had a good time. Maybe next year Genna and I can attend, but I expect it will not be until the year after that. I'm glad the route worked out too. I remember how trouble free it was last year hence I didn't want to change it too much. Get some more photos up so I can see what I missed!

Gerry Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Spotted at the Gummball.... Was on the A23 (I think) wobbleing down the road at about 50 MPH on little skinny tyres. Said "all elactric" or something like on the back, well weird ! The peeps in front to a pic of him as well but he wouldn't give us a smile, probably shi**ing himself that the aftershock of Fays zaust would blow him off the road.... Saying that, may have been his last laugh as we filled up twice that day !!!!! Gatso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornimac Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hey there fellow Gumballers! Really enjoyed it and happy the SEM crowd pursuaded me. Good to meet some new folk from the Dartford possie - I'll try to make one of your meets sometime. Thanks for the engine and ICE advice Burt and RobAce Having some broadband "issues" at home these days but promise to post pics as soon as the office is willing Gatso... that's funny that you take a picture of me while we wait at the lights under a .....gatso?! he he... Great company, great people.... it's what this place does to make it all special.. Thanks... to you all but mostly for the organisers (Mawby) and our esteemed double Gumball pilots Andy and Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Well, what a brilliant day yesterday was. The sight of 12 Supra's in a convoy just brings a smile to everyones face, in or out of the car. certainly turned a few heads going through Hastings & eastbourne sea front. Thanks to all who turned up on the day for their comments about the meet, & big thanks again to Mawby for planning the route. Luckily the 3rd choice for the last stop at a Brewers fayre pub was a success, being able to all sit together, with some nice food aswell. The slight detour to beachy head made for some good photo's too.(try to put some up later) And yes Gerry, I did see the Noble starting to play with you as you left the M23. I hope you showed him who was boss! PS great photo of that bike Gerry, it certainly did not look at all stable on the A23 & even worse after 12 Supra's flew by him!
