Hello everyone,
I enjoyed it, and as far as I am aware the rest of the Bristol lot did.
If the chap with the white S2 who popped a coolant plug is reading, I hope Mark's(beeka)and my rapid bodge repair with garden twine and ingenuity worked!!!
Bye folks,
Mike.

(Accompanying mike vestas in the green griff, hello to all)

Absolutly superb. Reminded the gorge what 30 odd TVR's sound like to boot (that was just our ickle convoy when we parked up). Good driving, good people and a great setting. A big thankyou to the organisers, sterling work

If it's any consolation Ed, the A303 was also a nightmare - 3.5 hrs back to Guildford.

A big thanks to Bristol for another superb day.

some of our pics can be found at www.tvrcc-south-wales.co.uk/gangongreen.asp

Unfortunately one of our region was rear ended at a roundabout on the way home by a people carrier, thankfully they were not hurt, but obvious damage to the car.

He has just put out a message on our egroup entitled Bang off the Green.

Cheers Bristol

Myself, Mrs T. and TVR Mon-keh enjoyed the weekend immensely. The hard work put in by Mark, Dan and Duncan and their long suffering other halves really showed. The whole weekend ran faultlessly, especially considering the scale of the event. Also met bunch of new friends as well as the old. Lovely to meet you all.

Finally managed a mini-convoy on the way home with Mike, the Rev-erend (+ Elaine), Tom and Mrs T. and I. Had an absolute blast going home and a swift u-turn on the A303 sounds like it saved us a lot of bother. The A30 was a real hoot today.

Hope everyone else made it back ok.
Cheers,

Steve

P.S. Thanks again for the banner to Bob

A nicer bunch of people you couldn't hope to meet

Thanks to all the organisers for what was a fantastic weekend, you all deserve a large pat on the back

Nacnud, two great RUMBLES Saturday and Sunday....my ears are still booming

Due to traffic (yes the A303) we had a five hour drive home to Essex but not even that has dampened our enjoyment of the weekend.

It's lunchtime, I'm feeling peckish and can't stop thinking about that delicious hog-roast! Great event with super organisation.

We followed Graham and Sylvia and George back and had a clear run all the way (just over two hours home from Wells). What was up with the M4? We had the RDS traffic on all the way home but didn't hear a single report!

My digital camera decided to pack up yesterday, so if anyone happens to notice a blue S3 registration J444TVR in any of your photos I'd be very grateful if you could email me a copy.

Thanks, in anticipation,

Richard

From then on just traffic traffic traffic

Oh on the road from Wells to the M4 a transit had broken down half parked on the bank.. queues a plenty there too.

Oh just ordered a monster PC drive for home so I can edited the hours of footage together. Have to drecide on what music to use... so difficult!
