Unfortunately, I'm busy, but by a bizarre coincidence will be driving past the Snipe at about 19:25! I'll honk as I go past.

Maybe. Can't normally get a pass out on Tuesdays, but I'll try some time.

I'm well hacked off!!

Was looking forwards to tonight, then I get the phone call I was dreading! Work is now sending me off to the North East as a colleague has phoned in sick! The morning shift willing to "hang on 'till I get there", but can't cover the whole evening and muggins here is the only one within the patch!

So I'm not going to see Damo's latest mod :mad:!

Why do I bother :rotz:!? Oh well it's going to be another long day on the M1/A1!!!

Sorry guys and girls, I'll have to try another time!

Right Simeon. I'm extremley sorry I missed your "thanks" out, but I've now thanked you. are you now happy??:rofl:

Great meet, shame about the weather & the sorry I didn't get to talk to most as we were split into two groups.

A big thankyou to all that bought me a drink & to Bryan for paying for my half of the meal.:thumbup:

No probs Oz - meant to get you some matchsticks and ear defenders as well - maybe next month :thumbup:

Good do all round, cheers all!

I have GOT to get myself some of those Porsche brakes. It's like being on a ride at Alton Towers! :)

yeh good meeting.

when i finally found a parking space!

blooming big ship..

Good to talk to a few people last night, hope you know who you are as some names didn't stay in my head very long.

1st time for me at this meeting.

Hello to everyone I didnt get chance to chat to and thanks for being so friendly to the new faces I did chat to.

A special thanks to Ben for the logging of figures and general chat about performance and the test drive in the best Octavia mk2 stage 2 ive been in. IMO your map is a lot smoother and consistent through the range than the bluefin and revo maps. You need to get anyone thinking about a remap to go for a test drive in your car because performance and price wise IMO its a no brainer.

Nice to get a comparrison with another 350bhp Octavia and another set of Porsche brakes (different cars).

Thanks for the chocolate cake too :rofl:

And Oz you were on top form, full of energy. Anyone would think you didnt have any kids:eek:

Weather wise a horrible evening but didnt spoil it for me. A late night but good fun.

Looking forward to the next one.

Another great meet, the weather was pretty rubbish but another great turnout! Thanks to all who made the effort to come down (and to Damo, who got there a little "earlier" than the rest of us).

Oh and thanks Mark ;) How did it go down the dual carriageway? I'm not sure if you were hammering it or not (but I suspect not).

Happy birthday Tisha!

See you all next month!

Back luck Uncle B, I was looking forward to talking brakes with you! See you next month.

Just got back home! Fortunately as yesterday was such a long day work put me up in a cheap as chips Travel whats it! :(

Would have loved to see those brakes of yours! Now the cat is out of the bag, how about a picci????? :D

I know I can't do next months meet due to family commitments, So fingers crossed for September :thumbup:

Sounds like it was a good meet :thumbup:

Damn shame I couldn't make it :(

Will have to be September for me as well, and now I know it's the third Tuesday of every month I won't get it wrong :rolleyes::D:D:D

Cheers

Damian

Mine's not been washed in nearly three weeks, it's filthy.

I took mine through a 50 mile long drive through car wash, all the way from work to about a mile from the meet, looks a lot cleaner as a result & non of those nasty Morrison's brushes!

Good meet as ever. Missed out on the cake :(

Nick, it was funny how the traffic ebbed & flowed on the way home,

it was almost as if people were deliberately slowing down, then speeding up.

Shame there was so much spray as I got soaked trying to listen to your exhaust.

Did you think about putting your fog lights on when I passed you?

cheers .. Darren

p.s. hoorah! cut cable has been repaired

:rofl: Silly Billy.

:confused: Eh?

Smog generator mode engaged

(the word putting was missed from my post)

I get ya. :) Didn't notice any to be fair. Certainly no Class 37.

Or this

. Yanks...

Did you notice that the ultra reliable matrix signs on the M1 were telling people that M18 J5 exit slip was closed, yet they completely omitted to mention the N/B M1 to M18 access slip was closed. The first notice of it was the line of cones! Nice one Highways Agency!

Is that you driving the 31?
