Looks like you had a good little gathering there.

But that pair in the middle of the first photo... I'm sure you often park next to me in places like the supermarket ::)
Between the lines... park between the lines! ;)

Hi

Glad you enjoyed the day Wumpster, its good to see people from here as well!

Paul you are right I think we need some parking lessons!
on the other hand it helps to avoid car parking dents, Just look at how close the granada open door was to Wumpsters car :o

Paul

regards the parking what u have to take into
account is the scorp on the left of the pic as
you look at it, is driven by a person involved
with Buses, the scorp to the right is a Taxi,
now when do u ever see those parked correctly.

Post by Lee_allen on Jan 5^th, 2005, 8:57pm

I believe you got there before me wumpster ;)
and obviously it was impossible to park between the lines as advised by Paul ::) ::)

so in true big bus fashion I used all the available space!!!

I will try improve my parking at the next meet :D

Why has that Granada got a black and silver number plate? It's illegal to have one on any car registered after 1974!!

Baz

Post by Lee_allen on Jan 6^th, 2005, 8:45pm

Hi Baz

The orginal plates are underneath, Marcus the owner only as them on at shows and meets, held on by velcro.

I believe Wumpster lives near you and he was telling me that you dont hang around! and that your car looks even better in the metal.

Oooh thats libel. I always stick to the speed limits!! Re the number plate...that would explain it but I did see a Focus yesterday with black and silver plates on a private number. Maybe he thought it was OK!! I may get down to one of these meets one day, you never know

Sounds like fun. Trouble is it takes 3 hours to get to junction 19 from junction 21a. Everyone knows that!!
