Well it's all great, Paul's making false posts in my name, and we've all had a few drinks.

The great car swap tomorrow.....

Obviously none of us will have intact 480's by 3pm.

Ghost tour tomorrow, looking forward to that.

Hey folks....thanks for havin me on saturday, I eventually got to my bed at 5am on Sunday with food poisoning(don't ever eat at Cuba Norte) Sorry to have had to dash off, ( I think I set a new world record time for the return journey from the beach.) I feel thoroughly unfulfilled, wish I'd had a chance to check out everyone elses wheels and talk 480 a bit more. Next time.....
Ta ally especially, for the shirt, I love it, everyone else I know finds it strangely amusing

Nuff respect to Murf for the fix on Sallysals attention seeking car.
Maybe you could PM me your web url sometime Sal?

Cheers again

Been back in the granite city for a short while, very tired, stomping headache and not looking forward to monday but it was well worth it!

Many many thanks to Sal for putting up with us, Thanks to Murf for his constant attention to my 480 all weekend (and the short notice for stopping over on Friday!) Thanks to Ally for the T-shirt- top marks! And thanks to everyone else for being there and making the meet so good

I'm starting to sound like i'm doing an acceptance speech now...

Where's the photo's?
Has that 480 we 'carded' joined up yet?

signing off now, my bed is calling...

Check me off the list as home safe as well

had a great laugh all weekend, thanks to Ally for the t-shirt, Paul for the great BBQ, Roo for the vodka, Rohan for stomping on me when i was asleep, Sally for putting up with us all weekend and Sallys car for slicing my frickin thumb open

Great weekend, pics up tomorrow cos i'm off to bed just now.....

P.S. laugh of the weekend was Roos freshly installed but faulty alarm system locking him in his car every 30 seconds

Me is home too

Had a really great weekend guys and gals, you're all really great company. Hopefully I'll get the hose for Sally's car tomorrow as it now seems I'm not working 'til sometime on Tuesday. Hope you get your alarm system working Roo - looks like a really cool toy.

Really hoping I manage to make it to the meet in September now as I had such a good time.

Thanks again to Sally, who is the best hostess in the world... ever!

I'm currently online via the laptop in the car. I cant get out!

It was a big laugh, we spent ALL weekend on it! Hopefully get it sorted soon though. Did you manage to fix the coker so you could get your dinner made?

More pics online at http://www.subatomic.force9.co.uk/minimeet/index.htm

I left the full resolution so those that don't have brawband might need to be patient. Just right click and save to see them in all their glorious detail

Excellent pictures Ally. I did my usual trick of taking my camera with me but never getting round to using it.

sallysal · Post by **sallysal** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 12:52 pm

Well - I'm home safe too!

Just wanted to say a huge thank-you to everyone who came to the meet - 6 cars! - I reckon that qualifies as a midi-meet!

It was a great laugh - more like a weekend spent with friends rather than a 'meeting of a club'.

Thank-you to Ally for leading the convoys - and the lovely cruise through the countryside on Sunday, you chose some fab routes and showed me parts of East Lothian I didn't know existed!

Big thanks to Murf! without you and your able assistant Roo my car would still be sitting at the side of the A1 in a large puddle.

Next time you pull along side me waving - I'll know you're not just being friendly. She's currently sitting outside looking sorry for herself with a nursing a large drink problem)...as I seach for the number of the AA ( that's Alcoholics Anonymous)

Thanks to donpaulo - having a chef in the club is sure going to have some advantages!

- by the way I've still got your barbeque tongs! great to meet you- hope we'll see you again!

Thanks to my friend Fiona for the free tickets to Mary Kings Close! and to VanderGraaf, Kate and Ally for keeping a close eye on me to make sure I didn't freak out!

Thanks to everyone for being patient after Ruby decided to spectacularly be THE obligatory car to break down !

......... and thank-you for all being such great guests. Anytime any of you need a place to stay in Auld Reekie- just give me a call.

Sx

meant to say I'll get some pics up tomorrow!.................

@ Murf - there's a bottle of evil pink liquid lurking in my kitchen that I believe belongs to you!

......and it ain't coolant!

Sx

You can't have a 480 meet without one of them braking down! OMG Vader is going to the next meet

well done peeps, looks like you had a whale of a time.....480 talk + alcohol = heaven

...xx

Murf · Post by **Murf** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 6:54 pm

there's a bottle of evil pink liquid lurking in my kitchen that I believe belongs to you!

i reckon with all the chemicals in it it would prob do nicely as coolant, ive got a big glass of it in front of me right now

Roo, i got the cooker sorted and got a nice lasagne out of it! got to drive the celeb on its 1st proper trip as well. The chick has decided she loves it so i have to fight her to get to drive it!!

As for the photo Ally poated, im not quite sure what Paul was explaining to me at the time but it sure looks bad in the pic!!!
off to sort out mine just now, ive got LOADS!!
