Yes, well done, well organised, we had a great day too. What a great turnout and good weather too.

I want to know why our bus was late picking us up for our tour. The driver said that he got hijacked for a photo shoot, lol.

We saw the monkeys ripping some rubber from a 7 seater and one was relieving himself on a Land Rover.

Cheers.

Tracey, Paul and boys.

Fantastic day, well done Duracell.
And a massive thank you to everyone who chucked some money in the bucket in aid of Nick Wild, £140 and 16 pence, excellent result.

Just for fun, if everyone spent an average of £35 on fuel for the day then that means that Shell are £2450 richer!!!!!
And if you average every car to be worth say 15K that's was over a million quids worth sat in the car park

So Duracell when is the NATIONAL meet going to be???????

Cheers, Grahame.

Excellent meet!Thanks to everyone who organised the event and Longleat was a good venue(but then i would say that,as it is 12 mls away from me).Roll on the next one.
Big Goon and Rip Maze, I hope you enjoyed the little detour,and hope you had a safe journey home.Would you guy's be interested if i tried to organise a meet at a pub local to me?I might be able to make that one!
Gunner,nice to have met you,hopefully see you at a dorset meet in the near future.
Ron,sorry i forgot to give you the money for posting my voucher,i will buy you a drink at the next meet.
Regards
Dean

Great time all round. Congrats to Duracell and the others for a smashing day - but how *did* you fix that weather?

Just finished uploading the film - some good stuff, and even some of the in-car is useable (only the convoy of 4 from Taunton, but better than nothing). More news later - it will take a fair amount of editing. Anyone else do any video?

I only turned up becacause my children wanted to play in the adventure playground but it was a great surprise to to see all the Scoobs there and to talk to some of the keen owners.

As a now Mitsu driver it was great to hear the throb from the Boxer engines again.

Best Regards,

Simon

Duracell and everyone else involved, well done. It was 1 of the best meets I have attended and even the girlfriend enjoyed it, which is a first. Sorry everyone if I sneaked into the front of the group photo with Stoker and his P1, but it would have been rude not too of have had the 2 most lairy Scooby's there as the focal point of the photo.

Only 1 downer on the day was leaving Longleat going up the hill to the exit, 3rd gear blew on the purple beast. Limped home without 3rd but by the time I got back to Southampton 4th and 5th were also very noisy. I think the chap I was chating too with anti lag on his Scooby put a jinx on my car as he was telling me he kept blowing 3rd gear.

Hi Colin,
As I remember it we asked for your car to be up front chap, no need for apologies, fantastic car. Have a look in here
Longleat Pics
You may see your beast in the wild.
And Z80 Simon, good chatting to you. Nice to know an Evo driver who misses the burble, you could always trade it in for a 22B

Morning chaps.
As mentioned in the flyer Duracell is going to put an article in for True Grip and if we get some good enough pics then into Japanese Performance Magazine.
If any of you have any what you consider magazine quality pics then could you send them to me please.
I am seeing Duracell next week so will pass them onto him.
Please be gentle with me, I'm only on a crappy 56K modem but on an anytime deal so I could just let it download all day.
Please don't send me anymore than say 5 meg. Maybe just 1 or 2 of your best pics. There were so many people on the double decker someone must have a good pic. And obviously if your pic is chosen then it'll have a "pic courtesy of" type thing on it.
Thanks, Grahame.
