Once again we had brilliant weather and a super turnout. The pre-meet at The Papermill was an enjoyable evening, with MatMV6, Terbert and Christine, Nitro and Carole, Essex Big Al and Sally. As usual...last ones to be 'invited' to leave !!!!
After the trauma of the day before when I had run in's with the football festival taking place at the adjoining school, over the fact that they had no authority to use our car park, I was up at the car park taping it up to stop them using it, at 5am Monday morning!!. However, word of our displeasure reached the organisers, and to be honest, they co.operated brilliantly, ensuring all football traffic parked in the school field. It was a laugh though, when their parking stewards and programme sellers, all virtually stood to attention when Josh arrived in the police Omega
Many jobs were done, including...Three vehicles fitted with rear donuts, Cruise control fitted and activated, Cam covers diagnosed, and new fitted, two Power Sounders removed, new dash dials fitted, and also a few other jobs I have forgotten about.
It was good to see some new faces at our meet, Terry Paget, who travelled up from Somerset, Bigtime, who came down from Leicester, And local lad Tec2tec. Also, nice to see Mr and Mrs Lazydocker, baby and doggy, coming all the way from Suffolk. And Joff coming up from Swindon.
And a great thanks to all the usual attendee's...TB, Taxi AL, Nitro, YZ250, VXL V6, Nick W, Unlucky Alf, Essex Big Al, Delroy47, Chris Gixer, LF64, MatMV6, Joshwyatt, and of course...me!!!
Some of these guys travelled a fair distance too. My thanks to you all.
I have to say, Unlucky Alf's M reg diesel seems to look better every year...a credit to you Tim, especially sporting its new large 'hole' at the rear ;D
One downside was after doing about an hour and a half's videoing and picture taking, I realised I still had the lens cap on
However...I had got some pics on the phone, and took some more with the camera later
A massive thanks to Chris assisted by Carole for putting on all the grub. No one saved me any bacon though. It was a pleasure to see TB walking round the car park with his large carrot Chris got for him. And thanks Sue for the other trimmings :y

Sounds like a good day! 8) And I was sorry I couldn't make it. :(

Yes mate, could not have wished for a better day. Shame you are so far away :(
-
I hope the movie works...you need sound to get the effects of Chrisgixer working away and sounding like a demented woodpecker ;D
-
Not many pre facelifts :(
-
Great! I love to see you girls enjoying yourselves. :-* ;D ;D
-
Looks good fun, wanted to go but work had other ideas, :'(
Next time :y

Who's is the black estate with blacked out wheels ? :-\
-
Great! I love to see you girls enjoying yourselves. :-* ;D ;D
I agree.
They look a bit of a motley bunch to me. :)
-
Who's is the black estate with blacked out wheels ? :-\
Belongs to MV6Matt I believe.

& for the third year running I was the only Diesel. :o :o
-
Why can,t I get pics. ???
-
& for the third year running I was the only Diesel. :o :o
Not counting the pair of Insignias ;D
-
Why can,t I seem to get pics on here? ???
-
Do you get pics of others on here...is it a security thing or a firewall thing. My pics are from Photobucket, mate :y
-
Why can,t I seem to get pics on here? ???
Local issue to you. Running any local poorly configured ad blockers etc?
-
Great pics Terbs. Better than the first set which looked a bit "dark".
-
I'm almost jealous. That looks like a great day out.
Wouldn't be jealous of camping it up with chrisgixer though. ::)

Oh yes, I almost forgot about those riff-raff gate crashers, Which is surprising considering most of us were slagging them off from the time they turned up. I wonder if they come supplied with a Balaclava so you aint recognised when driving them?. ;D ;D ;D

A mixture of Facelift and Prefacelift bits'n'bobs

Not a problem!
Anyone who was out scoffing and boozing and is up at 5am the next morning to stop football tournament gatecrashers for the benefit of our Omega meeting can get my handle (as you put it) as wrong as they like.... :P ::) 8) :y
Thanks again :y :y :y :y

The guy that asked (EMD) might have recognised it as he was parked only a few feet away from you at Billing Matt. :y
-
Alan....you did get in the pics, but that was the intention, mate. Word has it they may be after a new James Bond, and I thought I would get you noticed by the public. I have no objection if you wish to copy them to your Portfolio ;D :y

May as well drive that hairdresser's BMW with the pink ribbons on with the top down then. The damage to your scalp has already been done...

Try Internet Explorer. Opera is "odd"

Some nice pic's there Terb's, looks like a good day was had by all........... :y :y :y
-
Just had a good read through this thread and it sure seemed like a good day had by all. I love the cars getting work done whilst at a meet, that's just awesome 8)
-
You would be surprised at what happens. There is usually engine parts laying around, wheels off.
We have had demo's of how to 'clay' your car, etc.
I personally have had droplinks fitted, door solenoid changed, Radio out, dismantled and broken tape removed, and power sounders dealt with. They have changed dashboards, radios, donuts, checked cars with Tech 2's. They are a great bunch of guys, and despite the banter on here, will go out of their way to help you. You have joined probably the best forum around :y
-
I don't doubt that this is one of the friendliest and most helpful forums around, I have been a part of many over the years but this is with out a doubt the most accommodating and in depth forum I've been a part of. I'm an Admin member on an all Vauxhall forum that has been running for just over a year with just under 1k members and we are a friendly bunch but you guys make any forum look average. I will really enjoy this forum as it offers so much and without any pressures or expectations, great place to be and I feel so very welcome and at home already :y
