Hello to all
As it says in the title,a BIG thankyou to everyone who made the effort to turn up (42 cars in all).Personally (and from the comments i received),i think it was a great day and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the weather more than held out,couldn't ask for a better day.I'm sorry to have kept asking people if they had booked a re-gas,but as you'll be aware,my cunning ticket system wasn't a great success!!I think everyone was seen to though.Daryl did about 20 cars in the end,poor bloke was broken,when he had finished!!!!I hope everyone was happy with the aircon service that they received.Once again,thanks to everyone and who knows,might be able to sort something out for next year 
Kind regards
Kev (the short,good looking one!!)

I don't remember a short, good looking bloke...only a short bloke who asked me 4 times if I wanted a re-gas!!
Thanks for today Kev, it is good to put names to faces and although rubber duck wasn't there we did have a few strange names!!
An excellent day and I am now really in the mood for Harewood
Thanks again from me, Karen and little (that's wee Andrew!) Connor

Hey Kev, you little ankle biter  . Just a quick note to say a massive thank-you for arranging a very good meet. Myself (and Lynn) really enjoyed ourselves. It was nice to put faces to the names (even tho i have forgotten sum allready  . The pub food was wicked and all in all everybody got on well with each other. I feel I have made some good friends on here and today proved that beyond a doubt!!! I really hope this meet will be happening next year and maybe a couple more?
Once again CHEERS

Well Kev, its been a long day and a 435mile round trip, but I still think it was worth it.
Myself and Maddy both had a great day and as Nick said, we also feel we have made some good, lasting friendships today. 
And it was a pleasure to finally put faces to names. Blimey, I've been in contact with some (including yourself) for over a year now! Great to meet you at last.
And I must say, the convoys from the south west and here in the south east were a success, even meeting up in the midlands for the final stint together. OK, we kind of got separated, but it was great while it lasted - a fantastic sight. 
Well done and many thanks for organising it mate.
Paul

Hi All
Well what can i say, NICE ONE Kev , myself and Angie had a brilliant day out, couldn't have asked for anything else, put the faces to the names made some really good friends, will most definately be long lasting friendships there. The convoys were a sight to behold must have turned a few heads specially when we left Tamworth services, and hey who cares if we did get split up and get a little lost but hey sh*t happens. Sorted out a few niggling problems so to everyone who turned up a great big THANKYOU............. keep up the good work.

Hello all
Many,many thanks for all your kind comments and it was a fantastic day.Certainly one i'll remember for a very long time,and as everyone has said,made a lot of very good friends.Must say a couple more "thankyou's".To this excellent site,if it wasn't around,i don't think anyone would've met and also to Andrew (Scorpio-man),for tirelessly going round members cars with his OBD and laptop,although he had a 10 HOUR round trip to get from Scotland and back.One last point,i took about 20 minutes of video footage,basically from the first thing in the morning until most people had arrived,not sure about the ones that arrived after 12.00),to get a gradual picture of how the day unfolded.I'll be more than happy to put it onto tape for anyone.All i'd ask is that you send me,a blank video tape in a jiffy bag and enough stamps to cover return postage and i'll get it sorted.By the way,i'll be wearing my high heels next time!!Has anyone got anything to go with a beige handbag!!See you all next year.
Regards
Kev

My two wives had a lovely day out !!
Mrs 1 - Ultima - had a good drive up and airing - in convoy - thanks Craig - for leading the way on the M5 and organising the meeting points.
Mrs 2 - Siomara - enjoyed socialising and meeting the other wives.
Thanks to Andrew for the OBD-2 Scan

Hell Kev
Greetings fellow Scopionados
Another great meeting at Derby, well done Kev and all those who attended.
Got there a bit late due to my personal sat nav (brain) letting me down. got there in time for chips, and thats the main thing lol.
Decided not to sell the scorp just yet
Kindest Regards
