Likewise! :D And I only noticed the wing mirror cos I knew it was on there beforehand. ;)

Sounds like a great weekend guys. The weather is not important, at least you made the most of it! :D

I wished all weekend I was in Crumbia, but it was definately a no-go for me. :( Perhaps next year, although mid - late August doesn't suit me, in advance.... :lol:

Sorry its taken me so long to say thanks to Dan for organising and was good to meet everyone! You'll be pleased to hear despite my slight grinding noise and the odd squeak Vince made it back to Lancaster OK.

Cant find my camera cable anywhere, but ill post some photos in the main thread when i do!

Anyway cheers once again! A wet but good weekend :)
