See you all soon.
My Wife will be bringing her CCC (Copperleaf Cowley Connie) as well this time.
Amazing what the promise of a roast lunch can do!

Got up this morning and tried to give them a bit of a clean, not too sucessfull as the film of water was freezing before I could leather it off.

Wonder why my fingers were Cold?

Just a couple of pics that I took;

Thanks for uploading some pics mark , all looking good.

spyder · 24th February 2013, 16:48

Thanks for a great day to all involved. A special thanks to Pete for organising the whole day(but not the weather) and to Phil for spending the whole day out in the cold and snow on the T4.
Although all my fault codes were cleared, he seemed to have put another 135 codes back on.

Car really goes up hills quite well now.

Yes thanks Pete for a great 'GTG'! Just a shame it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cold!!!
Mark, thanks for some great photos, I'm glad someone came with a Camera as I didn't have mine with me today......

And yes Phil - don't know how you managed???!

Great seeing you again Craig and meeting your Ol' Man! Nice to talk of familiar things.... Was great, thanks. Sorry, I know I jabber on a bit...

But all-in-all a great time was had by all I reckon - but let's do the next one in Summer!

Ciao!

Hi all...

A big thankyou to all that attended today.. Was a great turnout considering the chill factor

I will get another one sorted for the end of May beginning of June and hope the weather is a touch warmer!!

BIG thanks to Phil for making the long journey down and braving the cold to sort us all out... Bill, I will make sure you are first on the list on the T4 next time mate

So, sorry if I did not get to speak to you all today as much as I would have liked... I am sure we will catch up at the next one!!

Pete

Phil-T4 · 24th February 2013, 20:32

It was great to see you all and thanks to Pete for arranging it!
Having learnt my lession at the last MK meet my thermals kept me warm

Had some fun on the way home, one of the rear tyres exploded (reason unknown) but managed to limp it back ok, wont get chance to do anything until next weekend now as i will be in Stockport all week

A great meet today, despite the arctic weather. It's great to be able just to talk to other owners about our cars for 4 and a half hours.

Thanks again to Pete for organising.

Massive thanks also to Phil for reading my fault codes - I owe you drink next time we meet. Sorry to read about your problems getting home, especially since you live so far away and yet travelled to help us out. Thanks again.
