A 480 Turbo no less ;)

I'm sure you'd be most welcome. Would be a case of ringing the campsite a la the other thread, and seeing if they can squeeze you in.

:)
Still struggling to get the someone at the campsite to answer the phone....will keep you posted....

Have a fantastic time everyone - hope the weather holds out for you....especially after all that polishing of shiny paintwork!

You're more than welcome along on Saturday-just be at the campsite for no later than 9.30. We have another member joining us Saturday who isn't camping so pop along-12 480's so far-another wouldn't go amiss :D

Have a nice meet. I'll bet Dan and Roo keep up the white power. Oops, am I being politically correct?

Remember to wear sunglasses near those cars - snow blindness is a dangerous disease :eek:

An emergency at work has occurred which will involve me working tonight and/or tomorrow.


I'll do my best to attend because I said I would.


Here's hoping.

Well, I and the Scottish crew are back!

What a great meet, I'm so glad I went!! :hopping:

Too tired just now to post anything proper, but suffice to say that despite the BLOODY AWFUL weather (which just became a running joke), everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it was great to meet new faces and reconnect with familiar ones.
A great thanks to Dan for organising the thing- well done mate.

Maybe a proper report later when I recover (alcohol mixed with Simpsons Top Trumps and Olympic snoring in the dead of night tend to impinge on one's sleeping pattern somewhat ;) ).

Rohan :D
