Sorry to those I didn't meet. I did have 'Garlick' on the back of my coat and was the one wearing the dodgy flat cap

Next SS meet is booked for December and will be announced (very) soon.....

Any hint on what part of the country?

I was staggered by how many cars turned up even in the biblical deluge!

I notice neither the Ferrari California nor Scuderia turned up, eh Mark and Stu?
Can't say I blame 'em...

Great venue and BMW laid on loads of friendly staff to look after us.

Amazing price for a delicious sausage and egg bap too. Well done PH and BMW!

Sorry guys but in my area of North London this morning the roads looked like rivers.
Dont mind slightly wet or damp but not that wet.

Well done all those who were on parade. Weather permiting, see you next time.

Regards

Disappointed I missed this SS, but overslept .
Looks like a great turnout.
Must admit when I did get out of my pit and looked at the driving rain, I thought sod this and went back to bed
Look forward to the next one.

We headed out of North London at 9:45 having wiped off the remainder of the fake blood.

The S2000 shaped hovercraft made it to the meet point with the bright yellow Zeemax escort where we hoisted the main sails and plotted a course for BMW HQ.

Sadly, arriving at 11 meant we missed the majority of the cars, and, more distressingly, we also missed the breakfast!!!

Still, BMW in not-charging-for-extras shocker meant a cup of coffee with milk AND sugar was still very reasonably priced ;-) (although no doubt cup-holders would still have been an optional extra, requiring the removal of the original centre console...)

Now, if anybody happened to pick up a Kill Switch key, can you shout up - the escort had to be modified to get home and we missed the start of the F1!!!

LOVED the 2002.

erm...and the X6 M, just not in that colour...

Oh and well done to the guy in the E30 trying to drift around the roundabout...the amusement of seeing you try to show off like that and being totally incapable was only out funnied by the fact I was standing next to the police officer who was radioing out for you to be pulled over.

Driving like that is totally unacceptable when there are other people driving around the roundabout.

As per the above post, if anyone finds a big red plastic kill switch, can they pm me!
I managed to lose it, hence why I had my tool kit out in the car park do a few manual 'modifications' so we could drive home! I am an idiot.

Driving on intermediate track tyres was a bit interesting in the wet, but all good fun..thanks to PH for organising a fun outing. Hope to see you at the next one, but lets hope for sun as I didn't enjoy drying the old girl before she went back into hibernation!

More of the same really...excellent day despite the weather - thanks for arranging and thanks to BMW UK.

Does anybody know the guy in the left of this pic that I was chatting to?

I had to scale down the quality a bit on that to get it under the 2mb for the image uploader. Here is a crop of the original if that helps

Really enjoyed the morning. Stuck around for a fair while before deciding that my jeans has soaked up far too much rain water. I loved the old Rolls Royce, and the Metro VandenPlas made me giggle too...

Big thanks for organising it and to BMW for their hospitality.

Mole, I think he drove an Audi A3 if that helps...

Bloke in new M3 - nice drift if you're checking this forum!!

[moleCSL]

Trixman - TMAQ was the one in the middle and me on the right, but thanks anyway.
The guy on the left had some pics I'd be interesting in getting if anybody does know him

I got a few goodish pics (not sure how good they can be in that weather) http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnrampton/sets/7215...

Was that from the rain or all the car porn?
