Fantastic weekend.

Thanks to Daz for the organisation, Mr Dundee for a great curry.

Thanks to everyone who worked on my car, no more front wheel bearing noise, engine management light has stayed off, door locks work, cambelt changed.

Great job lads. :y

Been back a while myself, been busy trying to dry everything out ;D

This afternoon, I was going to look at handbrake before my 7am MOT tomorrow, but time has now got on, so here's hoping  ;D


Thanks to everyone for a great time, sorry I wasn't able to tackle too much physical stuff on Saturday, but I think almost everything got done in the end - great work everyone :y

Also sorry some of the quiz Q's were familar - thats what comes of trying to do 5-6hrs work on the morning before you leave  :-[, still, at least you should have known some of the answers ;D


Really enjoyed it, roll on next year :y

Secretly, although she would never publically admit it, Mrs Sethsmate is impressed with my Valleys accent ::)

Before or after the application of "falling down water"????

She is a star, though. My nipper says so!!

BTW Broocie......will bring a decent single malt with me next time we meet, would really enjoy a wee dram and a natter, we didn't get much time to do so with everything that went on, but I won't forget..............

Hope that Westfield makes it all the way to Glasgae too Kevin. What a way to go just to get a decent malt.................

Back knackered and lying on the couch, unpacking can be a job for tomorrow. ;D

Thanks to everyone for making the effort to turn up, Pinky for doing the bookings, MD for the curry, Jaime for the quiz Tony H for his home brew burgers and TD for the spicy pickled eggs and last but certainly not least Andy B for lending me a cup of electric when the battery went flat.

Cheers everyone friends old and new we had a great time as usual and hopefully next year will be back to normal with the apprentice in tow.

Pink will confirm, I think it was 25 pitches, most were 2 or more people.  Most came in 1 or more Omegas (Jimbob/Ljay and VXL V6/Mrs VXL V6 both turned up in their matching his-and-hers Omegas). Plus a few day only visiters.  I think only LFF64 turned up in a non Omega.

 ;D a big thanks to 'Sethsmate' for the signs...they were indeed excellent, without them I'd have been driving around all day  :D
Also thanks for letting me use your oil pan, couldn't have done without it.
There were so many friendly people there, it's hard to thank them all for their assistance individually.
It was my first time at a big meet, and if anyone else is ever thinking about going to one for the first time...go for it  :y

Unconfirmed, but my little lad says he counted 41 miggies,( but with all the moving around on the site, and cars being worked on and then moved he could be wrong) and said he had never in his life seen as many cars of the same make in the same place. Most impressed he was......

Anybody actually know?? :-?

Good work sethsmate, will they keep til next year?

I see no reason why not Chris, though the dayglo pink paper seems to deteriorate, even when kept covered-over.
 :-?
I might just have a crack at fine-tuning 'em - once I get more into gear with this new iMac of ours.
I also reckon that the background colour should remain pink, as it's, well, distinctive.
 :D
Oh, and it meets with DLK's approval, of course!
