It was really good to meet you all and hopefully see you all again.

 

Gezz

Had a great time today, once again the South Central crew comes through! :nana2:

Thanks to all that travelled great distances, (we will need to return the favour) and thanks to all the regulars, cant wait till the next one!

just home about 30 mins, flight was delayed slightly, but poor chewie had a 2 hour drive from dublin home

what can i say but THANK YOU ALL for coming out and making it such a memorable week end for us will talk tomorrow

Just home. As trish said a big thanks to all of you for making the effort considering the weather. Your all a great bunch very friendly and welcoming, can't wait to meet up again next year

 

Matt..hope your feeling better :D

 

Athene ..hope your feeling better :D

 

Chris...cheers for the lift ;)

 

graham ...cheers for the lift ;)

 

gaz...cheers for the map ;)

 

Trish...thanks for putting up with me for the last 48 hours :D

 

What a great weekend :hyper:

Just got up after being awake for nearly 2 days, but i'm glad i went to the meet, the weather started off pretty badly, but with everyone in such good spirits it was worth it.

Being my first meet, i didnt know what to expect, but a great bunch of people from all walks of life with great cars. It amazes me how you can put a bunch o zeds together and they all have their own character and differences, but in convoy they all look superb, these cars definitley have the wow factor especially in the flesh.

 

It was a pleasure to meet all of you and especially chewie(Mick) and tulip (Trish)who travelled all the way from Irleand, who have that Irish wit and charm that cant fail to put a smile on your face, in fact with the weather the way it was in the morning i was in 2 minds whether to go or not as the ferry could have been cancelled at any time due to gale force winds, but in the back of my mind was the thought that if our friends from Irleand can make the effort, then i'm bloody sure i'm going to go.

 

Fook me sounds like im writing a novel..........

 

Anyway nice to meet you all, looking forward to the next meet and thanks Paul(300_zedx) for the trim end cap for my car,

 

And finally nice to have some fellow smokers to talk to in the pissing rain lol

 

Cheers

Graham

Cheers all, surely was a Top weekend!!! I slept like the dead last night though, specially after getting stuck in the traffic going to London lol :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

I'm just glad we didn't go mad on the Saturday night :rofl:

 

Great meeting you all!!

just about getting my head back together that had to be one of the best 24 hours iv had in a while(i know sad life)

athene lovely meeting you you have a great crew there in sc

 

matt thanks for driving me around, i felt right at home in your lovely red z

 

gaz thanks for the map, im just about old enough to remember irl that way, and make sure caz wears her apron on christmas day

 

chris lovely car, and good luck with the move

 

and to madmarco, scotty, gezzermelda, paul, graham, moby, ian thanks so much for coming along it was such a treat to see all the cars driving in the new forest, and to have a mix of swb and a convertible as well

and much respect to all your partners (especially ned @7months pregnant) for coming along and standing around in the cold and wet while we indulged our hobby

chewie it was only 24 hours i dont know if i could babysit you for any longer :rofl: thanks for your company on the trip

been telling everyone I've met all day about new forest. All the witchery and sorcery and stuff, what a magical and beautiful place ;) determined to bring the family there sometime. My kids are facsinated with my little (ok made up a bit) stories about the folklore and scary forest stories, and how the lady in the shop where i bought their little gifts was a real Witch. great location guys and gals.

don't want to sound to sentimental, but i think i've got one of those things which i'll always remember :)

Bet you can't remember much about Saturday night tho lol, bit like me!!! :rofl: :rofl:
