Great cars, great drive, great company. A good day was had by all Weather wasn't too good, but it did have the nice effect of keeping a lot of traffic off the road. Pics:

Great photos! Was great fun even if it took 2 *^&^ing hours to get the final 3 miles across central london cos the whole thing was shut down for some muppets to protest. Still at least the heavens opened good and properly on them. Made me laugh.

You have PM Steve

Its a bit of a classic so im not sure its in the same league as the other cars.

Ive heard about the meets from a couple of likely lads on this forum.

Nice to meet everyone. Weather? Well, from what I've just come back from in North Yorks it was great! Great bunch of guys and a nice pub to have lunch in next time maybe?

Fun things included :-

1) Watching Brian dig up someones lawn with his 360.
2) Playing spot the dipstick (note, I still want to know)

3) Watching Steve taking pics (great ones) of my Noble with his knees/elbows in lord knows what.
4) Following the 360 and still hearing Pete's Lotus in front of that!
5) Jason's CSL's induction noise (like it was eating all the air in the county).
6) The look on Jacob's face when the Noble lit up it's rears at 60+ in third..when he'd been in the car for about 45seconds..oops.

Hope to see you all again soon.

Phil

Hello guys

It´s a rainy day in Denmark, but looking at Steve´s photos makes the sun shine.

5 very different cars but great in their own way :

Brian´s 360 : It´s a Ferrari - need I say more ?

Pete´s Elise : A road legal gocart - great fun. And loud.....

Phil´s Noble : Dramatic design and screaming turbos

Steve´s NSX : 10 years old but still going strong - very strong

Jason´s CSL : M3 with extra tabasco and loads of carbonfibre

I can live on this experience for a long time Thanks everybody.

Also a special thanks to Tony for giving me a spin in his Diablo

Keep cool
Jakob

Dr Evil is always getting away with it - at 250!!

Jacob, you must come for more runs in the spring - and don't forget to order your Calendar for 2005 in the Pistonheads shop!! You'll recognize some of the cars..
