Thanks for putting that on guys was a really good morning! Sausage and bacon bap for £2.50 and plenty of interesting cars can't beat it!

The orange defender was pretty special don't think I could have chose a bigger car to park the Spitfire next to!

A cleavage of Bristols?

Another great morning - thanks to all at PH and MINI. I reckon the baps were right up there with the best we've ever had - certainly challenging Rolls Royce for supremacy (maybe it's a BMW thing ).

Fab day out, echo all the thank you's to everyone involved, now when's the next one??

Had a fun run home with wide arse's V6 and a White Clio 200!

Was that you when we went along the A40 in a little gathering? MG ZS and Civic Type R.
There was a black RS6 as well. Then there wasn't.

That was me in the Clio 200... was it me or was everyone else on the motorway driving really really slowly??

Cheers PH / MINI... good job as always. Bacon and Sausage bap hit the spot nicely!

Garlick, was that silver California your blag for the day?

Hi Rochester,

Did you buy your car from London West??

[torque2me]

Sorry about the I phone, format a bit strange!

[nigelpugh7]

Guys,

Thanks for a great day out well organized and some truly wonderful cars turned out.

It was a bit Icy for our Trio of Caterhams at 06:45 this morning, but it was a fun cross country blast too!!

Also to echo what others have said, the Bacon rolls and tea were great and well priced too.

Hope to make the next SS if its not too far away!!

Nige.

I asked the wife "what's the difference?" The drive home was nice and quiet anyhow

Great SS, we travelled just over 160miles down and well worth it. My daughter's opinions were as follows:

7yr old: "MINI!! MINI!! FERRARI!! FERRAAARI!!!"

9yr old: "I think I want a Lamborghini"

11yr old: "Music to my ears" - on the Wedge (400) we followed out. She's right, it sounded lovely.

Speaking of wedges, hope you and the 350 didn't get company on the Mway. A battenburg S-max came flying past me going after *something*. Exchanged sheepish glances with the white Clio, thankfully we were both bimbling along.

Lovely meet, my choice, the silver California I think, nice mix of sports, cruiser, and just plain poseur!

Thanks to all stood in the cold and serving brekkie.

Huge thankyou to the Murcie owner for giving it the beans away from the lights just outside the plant. We felt very lucky to have left by chance at the same time and be treated to an aural delight! I have some average quality movie footage - pm if you would like to see this. We were in the Z4MC in the inside lane trying (and quite quickly failing) to stay within earshot.

What a fantatsic morning! Superb route for the convoy as well, sorry if i held anyone up i had the Tuscan spinning through 3rd and still struggling for grip in 4th so could not remotely get my toe down in the morning. I had atleast 5 "hairy" moments on the way there. I think i'll be bringing the Type R out to the next one till the weather warms up. I sadly dont have the driver tallent to tame the Tuscan.

Fantastic selection of cars i had to get a pic of mine next to the 90, what a machine!!! I'll be ordering some 37"s for mine now my 33"s are too small!



Till the next one,
Sam

hi i was in the 400, the police car turned off just as it caught us up, a worrying few seconds but all ok in the end, your daughter has good hearing then?

[Bowler]

All I am going to say is:

Garlick and the PH Crew

Oh and

[joncon]

well done chaps
great meeting, good food.
our first ss , well impressed.

[Hark]

My first Sunday Service and I will now attend some more.

Good run down, good yet affordable grub and a beautful array of cars. I could have sat all day and listened to people pull away at the top. My favourite being a red RS4 who gave it a blip, sounded awesome.
