Jspec Germany Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Great meet again this year and the weather was far better.... yesterday it was anyway. So awesome to see some of the faces from last year and meet so many new yam-yams. Carly and I had a fantastic time and we look forward to seeing you all again next year, or at another yam soon. Terrible drive to the tunnel (weather wise, I'm glad we all stuck together), but as soon as we stopped to buy some yam at the monster Calais Vin place two exits down, the sun came out and it was really nice. I hope you all were as fortunate and that everyone made it home in one piece. Sunny skies and smooth sailing for about 15 minutes from the tunnel. ... Then, a 10 mile traffic yam due to multicar accident. We sat with the motor off for an hour. Rest of the yam home was ok. Gary, thanks for haulin all those parts down and I'm sorry finding an ATM was such a PITA. I'll have pics up tomorrow I hope. I have to fly tomorrow, so probably won't post again til tomorrow nite. Good times, and just the right amount of drinking this year. Sorry Ben, you would've enjoyed that lunch I think. I hope you weren't puking your yam-yam out the whole way home. You gotta stop drinking that sh*tty whiskey after beer. Paul, huge thanks mate for making it happen. Would've missed it for the world. Elton, I mean Odd-job, where's your hat? I wanna see that pic Ben. Sorry no speech this year, but didn't want to make a yam-yam of myself. Next year, I hope all the club members who couldn't make it for whatever reason are there. It truly is a great meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Great weekend everyone, thanks. Special thanks to Paul & Donna for sorting us all out yet again. It absolutely p'd it down on the way down the M3 earlier on. Had to slow right down. FFS, at one stage I think we were down to about 60 leptons. I had a right job keeping up with Mad Simon B. Right, I'm knackered now so off to bed shortly. I'm SO glad I ain't got work in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonball Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Thanks guys - I dont know about you but I'm shagged this morning... Also - actually got sunburnt on Saturday (it rained here apparently so we had the best of it...!) Prizes to Wayney - for warping from Clapham to the tunnel it about an hour and a bit... P111ddy for eventually waking up... Mike and his lovely better half - the shy and retiring wallflowers of the forum Pig for peaking at 5 and then going till 12+... ah to be young again! Henk - the new Mkiv bouncer! Gaz - bunging back in the prizes for auction like the gent you are Lui 'you missed a bit' Sorrenti... for the fancy leg work! Simon - who has some great pictures which he will be hosting (link to follow) as far too many to view here And everyone else too numerous to mention...I think everyone agreed it was a great and social atmosphere this year Everyone else will take away some great memories (may be not the main course on Saturday... which if I can wangle a discount from them I will put to the charity if OK?) Just a great atmosphere and good to see such a great bunch of nice people... Next year something different (?) - lets see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 have you smashed that sat nav yet matey Lol. Yeah sorry we couldn't say goodbye Rob & Simon. We could hear that NA exhaust though! Had a fantastic time. Sadly my car wasn't ready, but I got a lift in a much better one anyway, even if it was with a right girl. Great to meet old and new faces and was pleased to see no mishaps or police stoppages throughout the entire journey. I do feel crap this morning to though! Laters all.

ivan Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Wayne, don't know if you spotted my reply earlier, but Lin says don't bother getting the JD, give the cash to Paul to add to the raffle money instead. (She wouldn't mind an air freshener though. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
