Glad I got down for the end of the meet today, 9 cars we had down in Garrettstown. Pity I didn't make more of it, but we'll have to organise another one next year!

Hope everyone got home safe, looking forward to the pics!

Great meet all. Thanks to all who came along, 7 cars started and 9 finished it, the 9 were there I think for the best photos, had the whole car park to ourselves. Got some great shots, including the one I've been searching for a long long time!!!!

The close up of the cars stepped looks well, its like a guard of honour parting way for Kev's car or something, the light beginning to fade created some nice atmosphere for the pics too. :D

Did you manage to get a video going through the tunnel Bernard? Was a bit tricky getting everyone together on the way back.

I think one of the highlights for me was Chris showing up with an FTO too. :D
Only copped it after, but we had 3 GPvR's there! Chris, Laura, and Alan. The GPX's were almost outnumbered!

You and me both! Was nice to keep up!

OT, the time seems to be wrong on each post... ie) its saying I posted at 10:21 or something, an hour ahead!

Oh ha. Very funny. :D If ye hadn't all torn off I would have been able to see ye! Like I said, I didn't get lost, I went on an adventure :roll:

Apologies again for that, and the bra incident :lol:

Nice photos Martin, a great day.

Is Alan ftokid yeah? Maybe I'm mistaken but I think he may just have a version r spoiler? When I looked inside the car it didn't have gpvr seats.

Re: posting times... AFAIK this forum has always been GMT + 1, maybe that's why.

Ack, dont get me started, stupid beeyatch in a blue car holding us all up in the right lane. I think ideally you'd need a passenger for that kinda thing, it's next to impossible to hold a camera steady while driving.
