That's a real shame Nikos, it would have been good to meet you. Hopefully, next time. Have a good day at work!

 

[Dhanj]

Guys, Sadly I won't be able to make it - Gutted Just wasn't able to organise things for the kids in time (as a newbie I didn't find out about the meet until last minute).
Will defo make the next one. Have a fantastic (and safe) day guys. Look forward to seeing some pics!

 

[conaero]

Never mind, it will still be a top day!

 

[conaero]

Dan and Benny (and Ryan) are just about to turn up at mine, so we will be heading off shortly for a bit of 'Tunnel Terror' we will see you at Ace at 3pm.

 

[TridentTested]

Guys I'd love to pop along to say hello.

There is no way I can get away this afternoon, will you still be there around 7 pm?

I can't make it myself but as I understand it, the guys should still be there at 7. If you want to double check before you leave, call Ace Cafe and ask to speak to one of the guys to check they are still there.

 

[Mr.Cambio]

Guys..thanks for your thoughts...An hour ago i got back, lost 1/3 of the tickets due to cancellation.

Don't be jeleous seeing the picture of my day trying to fix waters coming from everywhere I'm not the one with the hat!

Now i need your pictures, preferably with video from the H-Tunnel!

 

[Gixerboy]

Enroute at the mo... North London Traffic eh?

Good to see everyone who was there "early doors". Next time, I hope to stay for the rest of the evening.

 

[lozcb]

Great to see all you guys , Gt essess made a grand entrance looking the part as usual , Urb me mate looks years younger proof that lipo suction works even at his age good to chat to Roger, Elliot and Gixerboy but shame about the snow on the way home, made it through the door just in time we have an inch already on the drive, Ian bet you have that hood up on he way home , and sorry Our Dem couldn't make it in the end altho it was he who brought it forward a month hahaha


regards loz

 

[Gixerboy]

Good to catch up briefly with u all... Hope the launch control demo wasn't too unnerving..
Regards
Dave

 

[Dan!]

Great meet chaps, enjoyable company as ever.

Dave, you're a nutter, I like you already
I resisted the temptation to try the "launch control" on the way out of the car park, but you may have noticed that I did turn my MSC off and travelled to the traffic lights sideways whilst bouncing off the limiter as token gesture
Dom, good to meet you and hopefully we'll meet again at Llandow.
Good to see the rest of you old reprobates too, looking forward to the next one.

Dem, shame you couldn't make the Feb meet that you instigated, I've saved a snow ball for when I see you next

 

[BennyD]

Loz; WRONG! Hood down all the way, heavy snow, sub-zero temperatures even ice crystals, PAH! Good to see everyone again. Matt, Dan, thanks for the escort on the way across, it was great fun. Thanks to everyone else who turned up despite the cr4p weather, not a 3200 in sight! Here's to the next one.

 

[Roger]

Good see everyone,

Just made it home in the snow!

Outside lane unusable on M40 after High Wycombe, only one lane usable on A43 and needed a push backwards from half dozen very helpful neighbours for the last 100 yards up the hill to my place!!! ;0)

Hope you all back safely & look forward to the next meet.

Well Dave, it was, especially for Urby who very nearly laid an egg! BTW, I think I might have found launch control on mine; we tried it soon after our departure and it seemed to hook up a lot quicker and went straight into a lairy fishtail! I will try it agin next time I'm out. It might give those pesky Ferrari drivers something to think about!

 

[Mr.Cambio]

pictures???

 

[conaero]

pictures???

I must admit I did not take any and did not see anyone else taking pics

There is some video content that we may release, we are just discussing if its incriminating or not!

Anyway, thanks guys for making the effort on a bitterly cold night. The rest of the Italian night was a flop with only 3 or 4 Fiats turning up, the 8 or so masers we had took pride of place along the front.

Thanks to Dave/Gixerboy, for enlightening us that QP's and GT's do have a hidden launch control...which he suitably abused!....the guys mad and I am pleased to say he will fit in just fine!

Again a special thanks to Benny, Ryan and Dan for the convoy from my house, for half an hour or Tunnel Terror at Hindhead. We made 3 runs in the end, most enjoyable.

Luckily the snow that was sheeting down when I left Ace fizzled out.

Hats off to Benny (Ian) and Ryan, for driving 3 hours in the dark and snow with the roof down...you guys!

Unit we meet again!

 

[BennyD]

Too bloody cold! However, we got a fair cross section; GTS, 4200 coupe, 4200 spyder, Gransport and QP.
