Just got back myself...had to come home a bit early as my boy is sick.

Great to meet everyone again and share in the gossip, nosey around and view some really fine cars.

The detailing guy was a mine of information, and the fabulous Peter Wheeler 5 litre 'new' M-Series racer was deafening everyone. I have a little vid of this, which I'll post, as well as a few piccies.

Best of all, was meeting MARTIN LILLEY ! bow

Anyway, I'll leave something for others to report.

Needless to say, the old girl performed faultlessly there and back, returning well into the 20s mpg over the 220 mile round trip across some of Britain's most beautiful countryside. (Did the run over from York in the company of B@tman and his good lady B@twoman). smile

Graham,

I don't measure MPG, just tankfuls biggrin

Left hotel at 2am frown arrived London 6:15, 234 miles. No rain, thank god and a steady 70-80mph inc several caffiene intake stops.

Good to meet you and everyone else. Some seriously nice looking cars put my old girl to shame.

Hi Phil. Nice to meet you too.smile

1. I'm a Yorkshireman ... and 2. our fuel gauges are notoriously fickle, hence fuel consumption is a slight concern, as I never know whether the damned tank is full or empty. hehe

I think you're being unduly modest about your car, and having witnessed your obvious enthusiasm, a 'minter' is being created.

Those wheels did look superb.

Keep up the good work. thumbup

Agree with Graham, i think you're doing your car an injustice.
Looking at the pic's posted it looks very nice. yes

Shame i couldn't make it, would liked to have partaken in the PW rev tribute.
