Did it involve the 'lift lady'?????

devonutopia · 02-01-2004, 15:15

ahem. no. but it did involve a screwdriver, a torque wrench and a lot of elbow grease.

spinndrift · 02-01-2004, 15:18

I dread to think.

Faye · 02-01-2004, 16:28

I'm not going to be able to make Wales. I'm going to be in the company of my lovely relatives all day

Sackenfrackenfracken (as muttley used to say)

I hope to make it to the next meet.

Faye

devonutopia · 02-01-2004, 16:37

Bring them all along Faye. It'll be worth it to see the look on their faces.

Looking forward to it now. It's amazing how noisy the inside of my car is now since my little incident.

Good for driving involvement though.

Just come home along one of the roads now.

Conditions - not telling!!!

stopan1j · 03-01-2004, 20:20

Thanks for organising Colin - it was a great day out, and great to see a big turnout of Octavias and Fabias.

Cheers

John

**tfboy** · 03-01-2004, 22:37

I'll second that. Those roads are just awesome. Jon had loads of fun (please correct me if I'm wrong!) with knobbly tyres.

I don't think I could say I've ever experienced more "extreme" emotions / feelings when driving than today. SWMBO even enjoyed it although I'll never forget the "noooooooo!" coming from her seat as soon as an observant motorist holding us up moved over to let us fly by

Deffo wants to do it in nicer weather where she can actually see where we're going

Lets just keep quiet about the event at the end of the day for the time being

I had an interesting fuel thing, but will post about that seperately...

Many thanks again Colin.

KLB · 03-01-2004, 22:50

I'd like to add my thanks to Colin as well - it was a great day out, even if the car did get a wee bit dirty

It was reassuring to know that the car could more or less keep up with some more exotic machinery - even if the others weren't really trying - and I could annoy the occasional Volvo driver as well.

Clarey · 03-01-2004, 22:56

Thanks again to Colin and all others who helped.

Has the owner of the yellow fabia vRS joined yet :scratchch (the one we met near snowdon)

Cheers
Phil.

***Neo_VR*** · 03-01-2004, 23:57

Great day out was had :thumb: quite a good turnout considering the weather which varied from crap to dredful. the roads were amazing fun.. was nice to suprise any unbelivers to the Fabia vRS (standard) performance.

The I_CANT_NAVIGATE_FOR_TOFFEE award goes to Ffelan and Ian for needing to turn round about 6 times during the course of the day and also for getting me into a bit of trouble with a off duty plod-officer.

Thanks to Everyone involved, especially ColinD who organised it all, just to show off his monster WRC Octy and Everyone who lead groups.

It was a enjoyable day except for the minor incedent near the end, and will definately be at the next one

Richie the Red · 04-01-2004, 02:08

Like to add my thanks to Colin for arranging the meet......the roads were truly awesome and the Fabias certainly surprised me.

Nice to see such a nice spirit present all day, good banter and even the ladies in the passenger seats seemed to enjoy it with the boys and their toys...........Mrs B certainly did, even if I did try and kill her trying to keep up with Colin and Paul early on.

REB

patkin · 04-01-2004, 09:02

Also thanks to everybody, very sorry I had to leave a bit early, but my wife called me to say that she had to work at 1800, so i got back to Newport at 1755.

It was a very well organised event and it was great to put faces to quite a few of the people who contribute to the best forum on the web.

Would somebody PM me about the happening at the end of the day ?

hope we can do it again soon

Phil (Silver Octy vRS)

i will gratiously accept the award knowing that it passed to us in conjuctions with Colins "lifetime achievement award" for services to the sat nav sales industry.... his cryptic tresure hunt notes had us laughing for hours.....

thanks again Col top day out... sorry we had to sprint off before the end...

....as for the copper... never saw him..

spinndrift · 04-01-2004, 16:49

Another good day out.

Quality roads, quality food, quality people.

Just got home from Colwyn Bay after being stuck on A55 as someone has put their car down the embankment by Hollywell.

Hope everyone got home safely.

That was my last meet until the end of April as due to producing a show in April I no longer have any free weekends but I'm sure I see you all soon.

***ncarring*** · 04-01-2004, 22:17

Yup most enjoyable. Thanks Colin and other group leaders. Paul and Ian - well we had fun even if we didn't catch up every time, eh?

Was fun following for sure ...
