Looks like rain

And here too Lisa, but the met office are still saying only a small risk of a shower. I'm going to risk it and leave the roof off I think (that's guaranteed rain then )

[Jon Ison]

well i'm setting off in around 30mins and dont have a roof too fit, in for a penny........

We're 50/50. Still got stuff to shift from the old house.

Forecast says no rain, but its looking doubtfull in Belper, it has brightened up a little though, managed to wash & leather the car without getting any rain on it.

[minimax]

not raining in bridgford (yet) and I hope it doesn't rain because I tried the windscreen wipers earlier on the bug and they don't work

having said that, the drivers window doesn't wind up either so i'll be able to stick my head out to navigate - all's not lost!

[UncleDave]

Sorry couldn't make it...

Couldn't get a lift in the escort

My Dad doesn't want to go to these meets doesn't know enough about cars etc etc...

Looks like i'll be seeing you on the Tuesday after 15th October 2007 then

Dave.

Great to see everyone again and meet some new peeps, namely mr scissors (can't remeber your user name - sorry!), sideways 500, kevin63, V8OHV (did I meet you? I find it hard to remember everyone , John Ison (fab car - sounded rather impressive too ) and Kojak. Lovely to see you again Ballistic - nice motor And it was lovely to meet Rude Girl's mates Neil & Pam (Pam's a right laugh!). Thanks Andy for a really fabulous blast in the Wedge. It is such an amazing car and it sounds absolutely wonderful. And Tom, we could hear you for what was a good quarter mile after you left!

Good meet Emma, pitty i can't get to more of them but when work lets me i will come again.
Thanks to everyone that went.

[kojak]

Yes it was gtreat to put some faces to the profile names at last. Look forward to next time. Thanks Emma.

[sideways500]

Thanks everyone. MrsS5, BabyS5 and I all had a good time, even though we didn't stay long. Great drive home too. Most memorable car of the evening?.... Lots to choose from, but surely the Beetle walks away with it?

Hope to make it again next time for more chatting/leering at cars.

[supaspark]

A great meet with like minded folks, Thanks for being persistent Emma, you've done us proud!!

Scissors name is Mathew by the way..........

[edward1]

Ended up away with work, so couldn't make it last night. Will make more effort next time. Should have the Chim back on the road again by then aswell.

When is the next meet? 2 weeks time.

So the Beetle made it there - did it manage to get back as well?

I had hoped to get there but had a meeting in the afternoon and ended up chatting to a business colleague until well into the evening - after 10pm. I would have suggested we chatted in Matlock but he had to get back to London and I thought adding 60 miles to his journey, starting by going in the wrong direction, might not be appreciated!

Hopefully next time ...

[Ballistic]

Thanks Emma for a very enjoyable evening, well organised.
Great to meet everyone and put faces to names.
Everyone very friendly and some great motors.
Looking forward to the next one.

Certainly made an impression did that Beetle. My ears are still ringing

I didn't pass Tom on the way back to Nottingham, so he must have got home ok. Mind you, I did give him a twenty minute start

Sorry you couldn't make it Grant. See you in a couple of weeks I hope

[rude girl]

I really enjoyed it. Baby Fish is lovely, isn't he?

Thanks to Warren for the lift to the Chippy. James is a nice lad, I'm amazed when I meet PHers kids at how well they handle themselves at 'adult' events. You should be proud.

Ems, Neil and Pam are great aren't they - I've known them both for about 20 years now (I can't believe I'm old enough to have known someone for 20 years!). Not sure what they think to us now, especially after our discussion at the bar!!!

[Jon Ison]

Well the beetle made the best "entrance" IMHO anyhow, nice too meet lots of new people, got a bit damp on way over but kept dry on way back, catch you all in two weeks maybe.........
