Great weekend, fantastic host and good company. And I can report that at the half way point home my number plates are still attached!

Great weekend, fantastic host and good company.

Absolutely, thanks everyone.
Hope everyone gets home safety, roads are very slippy, found myself doing an unintentional powerslide in third, thankfully she gripped again as soon as the power came off. A bit butt clenching I must say!

That's what happens when you put crappy french tyres on it! Mine was rock steady all the way back. ;)

A great weekend apart from some of the company; MAF, take a bow! Thanks to Rip Van Robert for his hosting and fantastic tinned sausages and thanks to everyone for making it so enjoyable. Let's do most of it again in December!

Just arrived home, nice easy run back. What a great weekend as always. Good to see a lot of the old faces (apart from Benny's ugly mug) and see some new ones. Robert - your hosting was exemplary! After all that driving I still have a quarter of a tank of fuel left in the Ghibli - the new wagon continues to impress me and I think it won a few new admirers over the weekend.

Can't wait for the Xmas bash!

Robert, class my man, very hospitable.......you deserve a medal (mainly for putting up with Benny) for being a great host

I'm near as dammit home, easy but long drive that always leaves me wondering why idiots drive Nissans. Either too slow or in the third lane with nothing in lane 1 or 2! Not going to surface again till we've watched all three classes of MotoGP.

Got home at 4pm so an easy run. I must public thank the Toad of Toad Hall for his hospitality it was an excellent weekend.

As with a lot of the SM events they are becoming less about cars and more about friendship.

Sounds like you all had a fun weekend. Sorry I couldn't make it. Xmas bash is out for me as well so hopefully will see you all in the new year.

By friendship do you mean alcohol?!

True there was a little alcohol but nobody got silly w@nkered, just great company and super host.

I got home for 1pm having had three different police escorts on the A1, A14 and M11 for probably 1/4 of the journey! Felt slightly paronoid....

On to the next one then!

Really glad everybody enjoyed themselves, when the invites go out for the next one, I am in, no need to ask..!!
Great people make a party and having it over a full weekend works for me, come up for air and start again several times over..!! I was impressed with everyone being willing to travel some distance to attend, including the transatlantic traveller **** bent on being there, impressive..!!
Theres a couple of bottles of beer left over, so Ill save those for the next one..!!:jptongue:

Thanks again everybody..!!:beauty::beauty::beauty:

I'll add my thanks to Robert for being a gracious host and everyone else, a great weekend. Matt is right - it's about good friends although that's not an excuse for bringing the Audi . The midnight ghost tour was a highlight
