We met when I took delivery, I remember talking to you about my Sagaris. Really enjoying the car, and had a good service from you guys when buying. (Sorry, cant remember the salesman name, but was very happy).
Good to see your on PH, keep your eye
out for the next 'Run if you fancy it.
I thought it may have been you, if you ever need any help with the Clio let me know.

See you on the next run.

Great turn out and a good venue. Cheers.

Hope whoever the PH guy at the gate I gave the BK breakfast burgers to enjoyed it more than I did mine.

You gave them to me, but because I'd just beforehand steamed through a sausage and bacon bap I'm a kindhearted boss, I gave them to Will and Rusty. Will has never knowingly refused food, and therefore saw it away without stopping for breath. I think he enjoyed it.

Someone at AM must read the boards to know the meet was on to send the chap down with it.

Advertising or not, still cool to get cars that aren't even released yet to one of our meets.
Its not released yet? I've seen the same one going back and forth near Northampton on my way to work.
Speaking to the chap in the AM Cygnet, he said he had a Mini at home and was unsure which to bring (Think he was pleased he brought this, as it turned more than a few heads)...a chap a few doors down from me has had a few of the AM Development Platforms on his drive (identified by the big numbers at the top of the windscreens)

Highlight of the day for me - the gear stick on the RX7. That was quality.
That was very funny, also looked a little bit like it might not like speedbumps. hehe

Great day, thanks for organising! As said, the bacon roll was a steal! Always great to see so many like-minded and friendly people, this is my second event now and I hope many more will happen!


I loved this for some reason smile
Why thank you smile I have to have a roll of duct tape in the car at all times now as bits keep falling off, the drivers side visor is now held up with tape as well as the hole in the roof patched with it. The word eyesore is tossed around a lot these days smile but I don't care, that car is the best £800 I ever spent.

For me strangely enough the pair of Rolls (Royces that is no bacon) were the stars. Next to the Phantom Drophead a Silver Ghost looks almost mainstream (but probably a bit easier to park)

That's no eyesore. IMO, that's a cool car.

Chaps and Sarah and Mr Chris R,

Thanks for everything today, a top day out.

A big thanks must go to BMW for putting on a great display inside and the catering was great, didn't need a roll but the coffee was more than warming.

Will, Plotters, Miss Mini-Plotters and myself had a good nose about the older cars inside.

Nice to meet some new faces and catch up with some older ones.

Oh, and if you can get me the number of the dark haired BMW PR girl with the brown boots on that would be great.

Think of it as payment for the Krispy Kremes. wink

Just to echo what everyone else said. Great morning out, worth the early start for the run from Guildford. Spot on sausage and bacon rolls, cheap enough to be able to treat the missus to one. Thanks to PH's and MINI for organising/staging the event and looking forward to see what they can pull out of the bag next time.

Cheers for coming all that way in a repmobile, and cheers for the Krispy Kremes. Scotland to Oxford and back to stand in a cold car park nattering to fellow PHers is committed. Really committed.

Stuart,

Not a problem.

I love it.

I'll be down in something a bit more exciting next time.

Oh, and JLR and AM at Gaydon would be a good venue. wink

It'll mean i can put the whole trip on expenses...
