Default SWS thanks from a newbie to the meets.

I'm writing this as I've just got back from the South Wales Scooby meet at junction 30, M4.
Must say thanks to the guys that said hello and made me feel welcome. Its the first time that I've been to any meet like this for years. If anyone else here hasn't been to one of these before all I'll say is just give it ago.
I went alone and felt a right numpty just slinking around these other Subarus at first but eventually I got talking to some real good guys and it was nice to talk to other people about Subarus without the yawning or lack of interest alot of people have (especially the Mrs). Great variety of cars there too. Anyway seemed like a good turn out to me and the weather held off which was good.
Only met a few of you but thanks to Phil AKA Nomad 72, Dylan? (white STi type RA owner) and I think, was it Bonzee's Dad? not sure (lovely black classic Scooby without the spoiler) either way, thanks all and maybe meet a few more of you next time.
Sorry I'm so terrible with names, I'll bring a pen next time.

Sounds interesting! Do you have any pics of your work? I have seen pics of the seat graphics before, but dont know how good they really are or how long they last. Do they suffer sun damage etc over time?

Welcome aboard boys,as you'll find they are are very friendly and will help you if you need anything.

To be fair it was only my second meet and i've only managed to remember about a third of them.

It was nice to see another wagon there as well,as i've got the red mica bugeye one ,and i felt a right tit last meet turning up to see all these stunning saloons of all years and me in my "van" But that was not a problem as it seems most have owned one at some time.

Come down to the track day for a laugh and meet next wed if poss.

Great to see a few more new faces and don't worry it takes a while to get around everyone.... I find I sometimes don't even chat to some of my friends at all some evenings after catching up with the group as a whole

Yeah might pop along Wednesday if I can. Chatted to your Dad for a while, just rubbish with names sometimes, nice guy I thought.
I haven't seen many spoilerless classics and I really liked yours especially in black (looked mean).

DYL 4N am I right in thinking it was you I was chatting with? I've got the silver classic and yours was the white classic "Rally" inspired STi RA if I'm right?.Is it Dyllan? Sorry terrible with names. :-(
Was just wondering are any of the pictures you took of the Subarus online to view? Thanks for your time, Gareth
