A Williams man mainly (since '79) but yep, gotta Our Nige :D
More of a Webber man now though. I do quite a lot of work for his Supporters Club and I've had the cahnce to meet (and race against him) a few times. He knows me as "The Car Man" as I've made some special kits for him and some "special" Club members. Here's me and the man at Daytona at Milton Keynes a few years ago with one of my creations :bowdown:

PS
The BGP is the weekend after

Huge Bump For tomorrows meet.
25+ cars expected

[BlueTrophy]

Hi all,

I'm sorry for the last minute notice but I won't be attending tomorrow. Another road user had a road-rage incident and I was assaulted whilst driving the MG this evening. For those of you that have met me I'm a gentle giant and I'm genuinely baffled as to what happened. The police are investigating so I can't say any more.

I'm absolutely fine, purely shaken up. Probably for the best I have a rest tomorrow as the last thing I want to think about is the M25.

All the best for tomorrow - hope the weather holds :)

Jamie

[FLYING BANANA]

As long as you are ok that is the main thing. Another meet another day. Best regards.

[FLYING BANANA]

18 cars finally made the meet. Will post up some pictures when I get home.

Cheers :) Look forward to seeing them!

[FLYING BANANA]

Few pictures via iPad. But for whatever reason I can only post one picture at a time via iPad. Will put pictures on from camera later. No doubt someone will be along in awhile to explain what I am doing wrong.

[Woof25]

There are some really odd individuals out there jamie who believe they have divine right to drive as they wish with little or no regard to other rood users, missed you today & you missed chance to have a T4 MOT :}
which which six members had and passed with flying colous one had the upgrade and was amazed by cars performance after and was happy as larry

Maybe see you at the Finchley meet on 21st July where we will have a T4 present, next HH meet will be the 28th of July which is 3rd anniversary and will be a run down to southend for lunch

[Woof25]

I did take some pics which I hope to load without having to reduce them so here goes

[Woof25]

a few more I think the changeable weather put quite a few off but those who attended had a good time as usual

Thank you for your kind words. Looks like you had a good meet! I'll definitely be at the next meet - plonker drivers permitting!

I've left the car feeling lonely today however with you lot out at the meet managed to get a set of blue alcantara seats from the parts for sale section. So not all bad news!
