Nice to see that you are all getting hot too. We are enjoying a cool breeze at 26C having moved inland today to Jerez next to the GP circuit, although the hotel a/c is working overtime! Back home by next weekend.

Wrong way round - Dave with the T4, Paul put it altogether with Rob

Sorry the heat got to me,But thanks to everyone.

May I just also add my thanks to Paul and Rob for organising this not so Nano meet.
I must extend thanks to everyone that spent a lot of time on my car to not only trace the fault but repair and fit the Powerfolds.
You all know who you are and not mentioning names in case I forget someone.

But a special thank you must go to Typhoon190 who in 90+F heat worked endlessly taking doors off etc.
Duncan on Fault finding and Paul given instructions on how to destroy my car.

Had time for a hour back in Wales before coming to work,
Journey home was a smooth 84 Minutes with no hold ups.

Great to meet some regular faces as well as some new ones,
a Great time was had by all,
and sorry I couldn't finish eating everything on the Barbie Mick,
but was there really a need to set fire to it!

Great Meet and Great People, burnt arms and neck but what the heck..

A last quick mention for Katie,
that despite soaring temperatures and burning heat was a real sweetheart and a Credit to her parents.

(Always wanted to use that)

Unless they are to embarrassing of course.

Fantastic day, what a nice bunch of geezers and one lady.

Special thanks to Rob and Paul for organising and of course Dave for fitting my IPK, switch and working his T4 magic. Spent most of my time on the drive back playing with my new toy, must spend more time watching the road.

Burning the midnight oil young man?
.....or the sunburn keeping you awake.

Well... that was the best one yet

Thanks to all who turned up and made it such a great day.

Specifically, thanks to Rob for his usual superb catering organisation.

Also to Mick for a masterly culinary experience

Ben, thanks for all your efforts taking doors off and putting them back on

You must have been shattered by the end of the day. I know I was, my head was swimming towards the end. I don't do heat

Four applications of factor 15 and I still look like a lobster today

Lastly thank you to a young lady who remiinded us all how well behaved children can be. Katie must have been bored to death but never caused a moment's problem to any of us. I suspect Mum and Dad had a lot to do with that

Dennis, I WILL sort your FBH mod out next time or, if you want to come over to my place in the meantime on Sunday we can get it done earlier.

I took a few photos which I'll upload later today.
