The pub was great, when can we go back because I ordered the steak which was good but the burgers looked amazing.

I would be prepared to make that trek.

HAHA, they were pretty good, how was the Steak? If I have a free weekend, I may do one mid September if there is enough interest, but it's obviously only a couple of months away, and don't want to make them too regular as they lose their appeal imo.

Mid September is fine with me as long as its a New Hampshire meet rather than a Hampshire meet

 

[Lustral]

Good meet , good food (that blonde women who did a massive burp was funny, who though we was sitting outside , but wasn't ! lol)

Will go to the next one deffo if it is in Septmeber, ill bring my own motor this time , instead of riding with my friends ST's

Good meet, big thanks for organizing Paul, the weather looked hopeful but crushed us half way through the day! Nice to put names to a lot of new faces too.

Thanks to Ian for the ride in the ridiculous RS6 and thewanted (sorry, forgot your real name!) in the M135i, hope my feet didn't get your pristine carpets dirty, and I'm still shocked by how good that gearbox is!

Looking forward to the next one

and I'm still shocked by how good that gearbox is!

Yup, ZF 8HP is the best gearbox IMHO

 

[PeterNem]

Not the joy that is the clunky SMG-III?

'murica????

Yea

I think Nick's SMG-II may actually be a bit better

 

[PeterNem]

It has a much easier life, only has to deal with 301 hp

For anyone that cares: I managed to average over 30 mpg in the Focus yesterday over the whole trip there and back.

First time I've done that in almost 18 months of ownership.

I don't talk MPG for obvious reasons, but before I left it said 12.1mpg. Managed to squeeze it back up to 16 by the time I got home

 

[ianh]

Oooooh beat me by 1 mpg Booner, rocking 17mpg at the meet

 

[kerrgreg]

Haha I laugh at your mpg 41 when we got back to the holiday inn

No problem at all I'll email you an invoice for the valeting.

Some quotes from the stag do at the pub.

"ohh look someone brought a Mondeo"

Elliot & I coming out of the pub in the MPS

"Where is your BMW"

 

[PMKeates]

I was fully ready to fight them all but nobody else seemed interested
