I think it may have read something like "I wish it were Stirling Grey" (picture linked).
Really though, some people just didn't make an effort, turning up with dirty cars - I mean, Nick must have spent less than 12 hours polishing his car this weekend! I think one of us should have took him to a side and told him it doesn't matter how much he polishes, it's never going to be Stirling Grey!
Great weekend and home by 9:00, so I was happy. Apologies for my, our, tardiness, sorry I missed the Saturday only lot.
Sorry, can only remember the names of half of the people there... John and Matt, was great to meet all of you
John, some good leading in difficult conditions, good route as always Craig, thanks for organising.
Have watched Top Gear, now need some sleep. Will try and get some photos up tomorrow - action shots mostly... probably of the windscreen wipers.

Jealous? I distinctly remeber you asking: "If i make it really, really, shiney, can I come to the elite, Sterling Grey-only campsite?"
(It was quite funny - five zeds, all sterling grey, all pre-facelift, all bar one on 108s... and then PawnSacrifice turns up in the wrong coloured car; we only let him stay because of his really attractive, sexy, classy..... new exhaust. )I'm creamcrackered and literally just got in, but thought I'd say I'm hope safe and well
I've got 2.8 million shots to go through, so I'll upload a few when I can
night night!

For the record... Tweeds car looked stunning all weekend, apart from that brief 10 minutes after the *very* high speed blast back home on Sunday evening through very bad conditions. That, of course, was our cue to take lots of pictures and wind him up
Having said that... it was held together with Duct Tape for the drive home!?!?!?
OK so a few different shots from the weekend:
Craig shows us his pop up tent..
From the top of the wall - Saturday. SK pays respect to the Zeds...
And we're away into fantastic scenery and roads
Nice place to photo my mirror
Snaking up the valley
SK overcome with excitement collapses in Ambleside
BMW dealership has secret hoard of Zeds
Sunday line up
More to follow in the week (if you want more?)

I did miss driving, but was very patient being driven, I'd say! Had such a laugh camping and chatting with good company. Think your plate is really good, Paddy.
Agree, and can I add to that - passenger's hands being rammed up against the sun visor, when holding onto a video camera or SLR, trying to catch good shots as a complete amatuer and hilly bits of roads are coming up at **MPH!!Siftah said:
So funSiftah said:Stopping to get the roofs up and down in-between down pours gave a chance for a quick breather and then another opportunity to hear a bunch of Z4's do the 0-60 dash and bounce of the rev limiter in... well, most of their gears
. From what I could see, thumbs up for the sensible driving too.Just as well Ian wasn't at the other campsite - might have got pooped on by those pesky ducks!Siftah said:
- Gawping at the police, is that why we lost you, John??
Thank you Matt for whisky - it was great and helped me get to sleep comfortably!
you didn't hear? lol
It was Siftah's fault! Troublesome Mancs and all that!!
We were walking back from "Ducksh*t Campsite" at some very early time in the morning (somewhere between 1am and 3am), and we happened to spot the E89 sat alone in the Hotel campsite, nicely lit by the sole streetlamp.
As it was rude not to, we decided to stop and take a quick snap with the phone.
So, Siftah knelt down behind the wall, whilst John and I stood "guard" behind him.
Out of no-where, a police officer rolled passed in his 4x4 and, upon spotting him, I said "Sh*t! It's the Rozzers!" whilst John and I turned our backs to him and flicked up our hoodys.
As you may expect, the copper decided it best to pull a quick u-turn and investigate what three guys in hoodies, with a "swag bag" full of beer were doing eyeing up a tastey motor.
He took a bit of convincing we weren't up to anything sinister, but I think Mr Siftah saved us by cleverly sauntering over to the side of the bacon wagon, with his swagbag swung casually over his shoulder, before leaning on the windowedge and saying "Evenin' Officer."
