Fixored

Yep, there-s all sorts of severe weather warnings all over the Bbc, be careful out there guys!

Just stopped for some snap
It's a bit blustery!

Fixored

No now it's fixored.

Twas a bit draughty round the hangars.

Well, I'm back home safe & sound. Another top day out as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks to Rich for arranging, nice to see everyone again and of course to meet mick2701.
Pretty good turn out considering the weather forecast, we had:

Dai, in the Volvo
John & Sue in the ex-Rees HPI exec estate, (which looks really smart).
grasmere59's very smart remapped 110 exec estate, in red with chestnut leather
mick2701's very tidy silver 110 exec estate
rwb's new biturbo 2.2 HDi GT 407, (drool).
...and a certain embarrasingly grubby 2.2 HDI exec estate.

Museum's good and exceptional value - only criticism is it's so full of exhibits you can't always get a clear view / picture without something in the way. I would definitely recommend it - we spent up to 5 hours there without seeing absolutely everything. Can't believe you only have to pay to park.

Injoyed the day out
going back in 2wks with the wife and son
as for the car needs some wrk on the chrome bits

Pictures...

I, on the other hand, had a lovely Sunday roast at the in-laws...

[Bailes1992]

Sorry I couldn't make it today. I'd have loved to go but I've been house shopping with my Prettier half.
I hope you have all had a good day and il see you all at the next one!

[Sonia406]

Cant wait to see the group photos... glad you all had a nice time..

I'll hopefully be attending the next one (which I presume now will be next year).

[grasmere59]

Great day,nice to put names to faces,couldn't understand a word Dai was saying,must be a Welsh thing,only joking .I reckon if they had opened the hanger doors most of the planes would have taken to flight with the wind.Jaspers nee Dai's estate was very clean indeed,i must get the polish out!,how about a meet at Bovington tank museum,Duxford air museum,Beaulieu car museum,Gaydon car museum? at some point.

[jasper5]

We both had a great day out

Very nice to see everyone again and to meet Grasmere59 and mick2701

We are both aircraft enthusiasts so it was a double great day.

Sorry for Sue bossing us around

Here are pictures of the cars, i'll post pictures of the planes etc when I get round to editing the too many to list pictures......

What about somewhere in Wales so you learn to talk tidy butt?

Doggys parking

I swear he was like that at Haynes too (at the meeting point!)

[scotty73]

I gotta say i quite like that big smile on the front of rwb's car and I still have 4 grand of dads money to spend on a car maybe I need to divert his attention a bit.

[trem1]

who's is the SW parked the wrong way ??

[rwb]

407, (drool)

So did it pass the mission critical arm-rest test?

Great day out chaps, thanks for coming. Great to finally meet Grasmere59 and mick2701. Just a shame I didn't get to have a closer look at your motors. And I still haven't had a good look round the Volvo

As Doggy says, it's amazing value for money -- and it still would be if they doubled the price. There's more than enough to keep you busy all day -- take wikipedia (other encyclopaediae are available) on your phone and it will keep you busy for weeks!

Feel free to herd the cats

As above

It would appear that I started it
Should have got memory seats so that the mirrors turn down when you put it in reverse.

It's worth it just to leave the Germans standing from time to time
