Thanks Steve...

***ncarring*** · 18-09-2007, 09:41

For all your hard work, and organisation. It paid off. We all had a great time, and apart from some minor misfortunes which will soon be forgotten, nothing went wrong.

Well done for putting up with all the leg-pulling, daft questions ("what time do they turn the fountain on in the morning?" has to be the best

) and inevitable headaches.

From me also thanks to Q for being a great mate, and all the fun driving the beast, and to those who lent me their cars - Jason, Alan, Steve (again), and anyone else I've forgotten. Barry and the Old Devils for great company in the evenings, and Will for the entertainment

Tom_vRS · 18-09-2007, 09:45

Sounds like a bit of a laugh!

So come on then Nick, what misfortunes?

apd007 · 18-09-2007, 11:11

Thanks again to Steve for organising the trip.

gillywibble · 18-09-2007, 11:39

Yes, many thanks Steve. Loads to arrange and all went pretty smoothly. A fantastic time

irin · 18-09-2007, 12:02

Many thanks Steve!

**mannyo** · 18-09-2007, 12:07

So you are all back then, I am curious about the mishaps and what happened.

**tfboy** · 18-09-2007, 12:15

Well, the "secure parking" we were all promised turned out to be nothing more than a normal outdoor car park with a motorised barrier. No fence to keep your car secure, nor any 24hr surveillance as originally told.

Result of this was that Q had his wing mirror nicked within a few days, and on the day we were leaving, we all came out to pack our cars for the journey home to discover Peter's window smashed with the OEM Skoda satnav unit / stereo missing

Dr Zoidberg · 18-09-2007, 12:29

Bugger!

andy2407 · 18-09-2007, 12:33

Another massive thanks to Steve for all his hard work - what a fantastic time we had.

I can't begin to imagine how much effort went into sorting out the hotel, T-shirts, stickers, factory tour, museum tour, airfield meets, Doksy meet, a meal out with the Skodahome guys and probably much more besides.

And its now official - Steve can organise a pi$$-up in a brewery

Finally, thanks to everyone else on the trip for some great company and some even bigger laughs. Highlights for me were Tigger's escalator ride, the tram surfing, Gilly's testicle sandwich, and Mrs Moony's 125mph airfield run without her "L" plates on!!

Tom_vRS · 18-09-2007, 12:38

Blimey, so a bit of ball ache then...

Maybe next year will be even better!

Haha yes!

Hotel £135
Fuel £100s
Beer £undisclosed
Sightseeing tuppence ha'penny

The look on Paul's face as his learner driver missus went past at 125mph when he thought she was just having some driving practice on the taxiways - priceless!

Sorry to hear about Q´s mirror and Peter´s satnav. Shame

Since Thu we tried to find some really secure place round the hotel, but no chance for so many cars...

***ncarring*** · 18-09-2007, 14:09

I forgot to say a big thanks to Petr, Michal and his Skodahome friends who made us so welcome, chaperoned us to and from the airfield, used up their entire sticker and model stock, hosted us on their stand at Doksy, organised a lovely meal for us and so much more. Hope to see you again sometime soon

Wardy · 18-09-2007, 14:11

Sounds like you all had a good time - 3 cheers for Steve

Shame about the problems though

They might have been able to find your missing horses if you did
