Title: Derby meeting-a BIG thankyou Post by Kevin_Tulloch on May 2nd, 2004, 6:56pm 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!!) |

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 Baz |

Title: Re: Derby meeting-a BIG thankyou Post by Paul B on May 2nd, 2004, 8:56pm 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. :o Well done and many thanks for organising it mate. Paul (I'll cut ya!) ;) |

Title: Re: Derby meeting-a BIG thankyou Post by Fitzy on May 2nd, 2004, 9:05pm 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. Fitzy ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Title: Re: Derby meeting-a BIG thankyou Post by Kevin_Tulloch on May 3rd, 2004, 8:41am 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 |

A long journey and changing fuses every couple of miles didnt help But the trip was worth it. It was nice to put a face to some of the names of the people on the site. Thanks again m8 Hopefully see you soon. And dont forget to put that playstation 2 in your car for the boys. Cheers Alan and Louise ;D ;D |

Title: Re: Derby meeting-a BIG thankyou Post by craig on May 5th, 2004, 6:44pm just a footnote.... i take full responsibility for the break-up of the convoy,my dear wife said it was the right way (never wrong),but i still had to check in the garage,that was the mistake............ if only i had listened (been hearing that for days now ).. anyway if it happens again next year,there will be no mistakes,the wifes navigating,maybe even driving..... SO LOOK OUT.....lol but still a great day,really glad i made it..... |
