I need to know the full address of the pub we are staying at, and the final agenda for all days ASAP, as I need to arrange one of my Ebay winners to come and give me a bundle of cash sometime over the weekend....

Uncle Wayne?

Stoppit Johhny Wurlus u norty boye!

@ Adam,Im selling when shes MOTd as I cant see her being in such great condition next year unless shes garaged.Plus,Im really not that happy with keeping on having always to work on my car.I just want to clean and drive again nowadays.Also,I have now completed 100,000 miles in a Volvo 480 and Iam forgetting what another car is like to drive!

Im going to go for a 2.3/2.6 V6 Coupe though as I just know I will miss the Turbino!

In my ideal world,I would keep my 480,but she has value.Value=money for Audi at this present moment.I then plan to start a secret cliquey enthusiasts group,it wont be known as jamogroom.com!

:D
I'm No Longer Here :(

Sorry guys, really annoyed with muself. I wanted to go real bad
Sorry mate, Rob Kendal already used this exact excuse. You need to think of another.
I think you are getting me and rob kendall confused on MSN maybe? I thought robkendall was going?

Is there still room for another small quiet one on this meet...? Me I mean! I thought we'd be away for the weekend for my birthday ( :angel: ). Me, Michele and the 480 (if she's playing) can camp it up if the place isn't full! Would hate to miss out on such a h00g meet...

Cheers :D
Hey Mart do you want to meet up with me and Brasco?

I can't come to the meet now. :cryhard: :cryhard:

Simply, lack of funds- the last straw being a £60 fine i just picked up (not even for speeding). :(
But also a flash of intuition that told me to concentrate on other things at the moment.

It's a shame as this looks like one of the best uk ones so far.

@ Lee- if my snow cover's ready then it's fine to give it to Murf and he can take it back up for me. I'll send you down a wee something with the Scots posse!

@Lazerowl- Wayne, i'm sure one of the others will take the Avior down for you if i give it to them.

@ Everyone else- have a great time (i know you will), enjoy yourselves, and take care!
