Big thanks to Craig and John for organising another great National Meet. Good to meet up with more Forum members old and new. Looking forward to seeing some more pics.

Discussed this with Craig earlier, and think it's just me, John and Craig - and although I've come every year I have missed the odd day, so only Craig and John have done all 12 days.

... But I've definitely done the most days in a z4 run without a z4!

was your first visit not the year without a radio?

 

[mmm-five]

528 miles, 23.5mpg (includes a spirited run across Hartside on the way there but surprised the run back up the M6 and across on the A69 (I was 'driven out' and took the easy route home) didn't improve the figure. . . )

That's because you were trying to keep up with me

Mine was 22.9mpg on Saturday and 23.3mpg Sunday - covering 495 miles.

Right year but wrong hoon - that was Robb's North East run on my second day as a forum member!

 

[Taz]

was the 2010 meet on 27th?

i have just found some pics date 27/6 but the year is 2017 (obviously that bit is wrong)

Thanks to Craig and John. Good to see Paul Steph jimbo, Brian and some new faces. My 4th meet and they get better each time. Pity I missed the Sunday run. Maybe next year . Hopefully I will start to put some names to some familiar faces my memory for names is shocking .

.

That's because I was keen to hear that terrific exhaust

(It certainly helped to drown out the music you had on max volume )

Bloody wide awake at 5.30 am on a day off anyway thanks for the great weekend folks hope everyone has a safe trip home and
a round of applause for Craig and John for organising a fab time

It appears I've got a massive amount of sunburn.

which is odd, as we definitely drove home with the roof down, through a thunderstorm, for over an hour.

We got video'd about 7 times by passing cars, all looking very bemused at us being bone dry, despite it being catastrophically wet "outside".
Hoping at least one of the vids appears on YouTube soon

Craig.

I know you suffered some damage to your little rod, but I may be able to come to your rescue as I've found the 'Sport Aerial Rod' (65 20 2 296 761) that I bought to replace my whip.

It's been fitted for a week to try it and it didn't pick up the stations I needed (similar issue to the Mangowalk version I assume), so I've got it sitting here for you.

You can either have it if/when we meet up for the Skye trip (although I can't find any info on it on here), or you can PM me and I'll post it off to you.

Tony

Thanks Tony, that's very kind (do you want anything for it...money wise,before the jokes come mate, haha).

Yes, my little rod got bent/busted at our lunch break, but still picking up stations, needs replaced.

The Skye/Skyefall/Braemar run is not up yet...need to talk to Andrew p asap, and get info done/dates finalised...been a bit busy with John organising this, lol.

If you could post it to me in a wee padded jiffy bag that would be great, as my aerial won't last I don't think.
Will pm u my address/and square u up any postage next meet or by paypal, cheers

Yeah, both the Guisely kids have been to several meets/Nationals over the years Paul....just less interest for them as they get older....they even have their own forum profile and have taken some great pics over the years

Good to meet some fellow enthusiasts from Preston also.
