Ok, I've thawed out again, now..
What a great day! So many people to chat to, so many great cars to mooch around including the car parking part, and a great ad-hoc adventure in late November..
For me, that strap line says it all. It isn't just about the cars, it's all about using them and a shared experience with some really quality people. When Steve T suggested we have a weekend meet somewhere, little did any of us think it would attract so many people so late in the season. Well done, that man!
Great to see Cain bring his mum along & listening to their rallying exploits (yes, she navigates for him..!!) is real 'Boys Own' stuff.
I learnt that (a) people with hoods & heaters look decidedly smug when the temperature hovers above freezing, and (b) I never knew there were so many flying jackets in existence..
I hope no-one was offended by any of the 'awards' handed out, it just appealed to my sense of humour, but when someone turns up in a very nice first Morgan having never even registered on TM, but watched as the event grew, and turned up concerned that he would be the last boy to be picked for the football team, it was a no-brainer to award Robin the Eric Gill Sans "Old Trout" award..!
Robin, just register and catch up on here - that puzzled look when everyone else laughed will all be clear!
Yes, overall a fantastic day & thinking caps on for celebrating TM's tenth birthday next year.
Ciao..
