Thanks to you Bob, and the FlipFlops and I'm sure a few others I don't know.

Only my second growl but managed to get all the way home with the roof down this year, which is great - maybe next year we could organise two dry days!

Cheers Bob,

Paul

I can only agree with what every one has said already. Fantastic weekend and it was great to put some faces to names. FFG, Bob and everyone else involved in organising such a great event deserves many thanks ( also the Crazy Horses crew and Ian at Torque V8 for all their help this weekend - those of you I spoke to will know exactly what I mean !! Managed 276.1 on the last run biggrin ).

Can't wait for next year.

Simon.

eta just noticed the change of name Gopher, nice to see you got it in before anyone else mentioned it wink

My thanks to to Bob and the FFs and everyone else involved in organising the event. Also the trade guys who helped make it. Well done for a brilliant event. Special thanks to the Crazy Horses guys for showing me what my Griff can do and to Carl Baker for the impromptu speaker fitting. Good to meet some new peeps too.

Adding my thanks to those already stating what a cracking job done by all

Each of the organisers should pat themselves on the back for all of their efforts. The levels of commitment to the cause is admirable

Thanks once again to the traders and to the Crazy Horses gang for helping with the variety and Good on you Bruce for bringing a fresh idea to the meet (Maybe a linked head to head on a shorter cuiruit next year wink) Nice to see Martin Lilley also taking the time out to share with us

Nice to see so many people not afraid to support the event whatever the weather, and to those who were put of by a little bit of rain .... maybe have a thought next year for the efforts of the organisers who's input is rewarded most by the enjoyment / support of ALL owners (You / your car will always dry out...eventually)

Personal thanks to Del for demonstrating how slow his Griff was, and next time I'll take you up on the joyride offer (as long as you have the right tyres on) and to Hamish for entrusting me to the Monster ( although you may be getting a call form my wife once I have placed my order ).
Dnb maybe next time I could grab a ride in your p&j ( and anyone else too )

I think it good to experince other people cars to help judge the good / bad bit of your own motor.

Well done Gang !!! and see you next year ( whatever the weather )

Moose

Yep. Agree with sentiments of those above. A great weekend was had by all.
Grateful thanks especially to the FFGs, Bob & Deb and of course Bruce and the Cornish Contessa - the vidjo game was great fun and raised more than a few bob for the pot.
I really feel for them and the stalwart traders who carried on regardless despite the worst efforts of the weather gods.
BTW, do we have dates for next year yet? wink

Sames as all the other posts, well done to all of the organisors for a great event! The amount of effort and stress that goes into these kinds of events must never be under estimated. Chapeau to all involved.

I was very impressed by the condition of most cars too. Ages ago, when i was first looking for a Griff, most cars were neglected old nails, now it seems, they are falling into the hands of true enthusiasts, prepared to lavish time and cash on them. Good to see..

Good to put faces to a lot of names on here.
