Hi Martyn.

 

it would be great if you could join us but understand if you don't make it.

 

I am hoping to do another Thunder Day event as I have quite a few PM messages from people who would have like to attend but were unable to.

 

Perhaps you could join us later in the year.

Thank you Geoffrey for all the hard work that you put in to organise today, I think you had a brilliant turn out and it was a roaring success. Robin did a cracking job yesterday too, so thank you to both of you for a lovely weekend.

 

We met Tom Conti

I had to stop twice on the way home, first because my flag pole tried to escape from the bag and try to attack a BMW, and secondly to tighten my mirror that had come loose from kids climbing into the cars when we weren't with them.

Why do parents think it's OK to let them climb into our cars? Would they let them open the door of a Ferrari or Lamborghini and jump inside? Just because Westfields are open, it's not an open invitation to help yourselves.

Thanks to Judy for seeing some off.

Rant over.

Just looking at the 'buttons, buttons, buttons' picture and thinking about Robin's rant regarding naughty children - maybe they think our cars are exhibits that they are allowed to play in? Just a thought.

What great photos and what a great day.

 

Thank you everyone who joined in and it was good to meet you all.

 

I wish I had spent more time talking to the people I did not get to speak to much but that can be for another day.

 

I will post some pictures tomorrow as just arrived in Hereford a few minutes ago and my eyes are really tired so I will do a better post tomorrow.

 

Thanks again to everyone and I thoroughly enjoyed the day with you all.  :t-up:
