Good to meet you all yesterday and thanks to Dan and the Topcats team for organising it.

These meets are always a good reminder of how ridiculous your online username is when you have to introduce yourself to someone in real life!

Great pics and vids already and I'm looking forward to seeing Dan's official report.

Andrew - I'm with you on the 'username awkwardness' situation. It must be the same for kids at school who have to explain why their daft parents called them 'Skyrocket' or 'Zebedee'

I've quickly thrown together a few vids taken from my iPhone earlier today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn8E9nVOGPg&li...

Nice little vid. I wish I'd left the same way you did rather than using RS. Very disappointing on the vid (mine was the saloon at the start of the vid)

Dissapointed I couldn't make what looked to be a good day, especially as I've been racing with TopCats for over 5 years ( The Orange Marcos and blue TVR Grantura ) and I own a C63 Coupe!!

These two babies. ( Thanks Paul)

The TVR was lovely, did I see that race at Silverstone Classic?

Did you forget to switch the camera out of it's 'monochrome' setting?

yep, until the driver change when I jumped in and a mechanical failure left me stranded as I pulled out of the pits. Ho Hum, Spa in a few weeks!

Snapper Chris has sent through his pics, which I'll be adding to the story. Thought I'd share this one though. Since I had my 'final collection' email from young James (he from Merc with the black AMG polo shirt and with the Black Series) I've been inclined to feel a bit melancholy. This is, of course, a waste of energy. Far better to make the most of the time I have left together with the car and enjoy it in the spirit intended!

Cheers,

Dan

And in case anyone was worried/about to call social services Junior Trent wasn't in the back of the car when this nonsense was going on and was fully supervised a suitable distance away.

It must be one hell of an article!

[ghibbett]

I think Dan's been waiting till 'his' C63 went back to MB, such that he could post a final report and roll the owners' meet details into it.

However the C63 did go back yesterday...
