Yeah, so many new people I have a hard time keeping track of who is who

Looking forward to seeing the pics, especially of my car

Howard · 25 Oct 2008 at 16:23

Just sorting them now

I'd be interested to know where people came from - I swear I had to come the furthest

Mind you I got home quick enough cos we were very close to the A3 which takes me almost all the way home

InvaderGIR · 25 Oct 2008 at 16:32

Just got in.

I think I may have an 08 Vectra front splitter laying about some place...

Loading the photos onto my comp as I type, so expect them to be 'developed' in about a week.

Howard · 25 Oct 2008 at 16:33

Processing mine now, there's quite a few. Is the usual routine for someone to make a new thread for pics?

Scuzi · 25 Oct 2008 at 16:35

I'm back after the most boring drive ever, stuck behind a Volvo with a crapavan at 25mph the entire way. :/

Good to meet you all, 'twas fun. Far too cold to hang about and do passenger rides though

InvaderGIR · 25 Oct 2008 at 16:35

Normally do for the RR, may as well create a "Southampton MiniMeet '08 Photos" thread though as I expect there to be lots, mine, yours, Mike's Robbie's, Biggles's.

I won't start the thread, I don't have any processed yet.

That's what the right foot is for, put it flat to the floor on the peddle and overtake.

Howard · 25 Oct 2008 at 16:39

Someone wanna pinpoint on a map where we drove to after the meal? I'm curious

SoliD · 25 Oct 2008 at 16:40

Hey guys, just got back was watiing around to make sure muffin was sorted, he is getting a new car from enterprise. After ringing all the local tyre places Sorry about taking you to a place rubbish for passenger rides, completely forgot.

Just got back in now. Good meet and nice to see the regulars and some new people.

PeterNem · 25 Oct 2008 at 17:02

Back at Olly's near Oxford! Shame it was a bit cold to hang about long! Hope you're all home safe

ChrisD. · 25 Oct 2008 at 17:05

Just got in after a massive detour trying to find a petrol station. I have now severely fallen out with my TomTom.

Good to meet you all!

Only now? I'd have thought that getting to the pub would have made you fall out with it.

Howard · 25 Oct 2008 at 17:08

Great to meet all of you, yes

I want one of the trendy new Widescreen TomToms that a couple of you had

And the carpark in Hedge End

InvaderGIR · 25 Oct 2008 at 17:09

Aye, was good to meet lots of new people, and chat to some older ones too.

Oh yeah, and BIG thanks to Sam for picking me up and going out of his way for me. Brilliant bloke you are too.

Yes that did annoy me, however it really buggered me about trying to find fuel. I was on the fuel light for about 40 miles!

Also nearly took out a Pheasant on the way back, luckily my brakes still work well even though the back ones are shot. I had visions of an explosion of feathers and my bumper hanging off!

I had to "overtake" a pheasant on the A3, too! Bloody things
