On the run. The forum had more than 1000 members (was way more international then with a large USA base as well). We even had USA members coming to the UK for these runs.

There were some USA military members stationed in Germany who also came over.

The biggest run was a meet in Germany organised by a German member, that was well over 100 cars including about 15 from the UK.

"do you know how fast you were going, Sir?"
"No officer, was it about 3 megabits per second?" (followed by a raucous guffaw from the surrounding IT geeks). :rofl: :rofl:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
