AntW Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 we (Sparkly & I) got back about 5pm after a minor detour (missed the M60 turnoff hehe). Nice to put faces to names for those I hadn't met. Congrats to Lottie for organising, for AvantB130 for suggesting the location. Very nice pub, good food too, although I didn't sample the puddings Some thoughts from the day: Mrme - 645 looks awesome in the flesh, sounds great too, and watching the roof raise and lower is an art form. JimDiesel - nice Z4, although I didn't see you unfold out of it Daz - RS4 sounds great, oh and wheres my sticker Chris B - Nice S8, fantastic colour, almost like a metallic version of Dolphin Grey, Garcon told me the colour but I forgot Got a chance to have a quick chat to all of you and the one thing that stands out more than anything is that everyones so friendly, laid back and down to earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Yep I'm back. Was a cracking day. Plenty turned up and there were some cracking cars. Thanks for organising it all Lottie. The drive over to the Cat and Fiddle was erm spirited to say the least. A 645 BMW, RS4, two A8's and Jon in his Sport Megane with me in the middle in a 2.0T Sportback. Stellar drive and a great route. Will put up some pictures later on. Was nice to meet everyone will have to do the same again next hear.

Chris_B Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 We got back home about 6:30, after an uneventful run home. Good meet, nice to see you all, good bunch of folks. Shame the back end of the run got lost on the way to the Cat & Fiddle, I got separated from CraigyB and just kept going in a straight line, thinking that if you'd turned off without us behind you, you'd have stopped and waited. More fool me! Garcon sorted us a scenic route, which was great on some of the bends, even at the 50 mph or so that we were stuck behind a non-Tyresmoker at. Oh, and I christened the gallery with proof that MrMe doesn't drive his car hard enough to stain his exhaust pipes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottiefox Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 well I got back about an hour ago, had some trouble finding the M6 despite Tom Tom and then it was a giant car park for much of the way til the toll road of joy. What a great day - excellent meet - the sun shone, people made a huge effort to travel and meet up and it really summed up TSN again for me! Great venue, excellent food (if a little random with the ordering and delivery - where was my Sticky Richard...), big car park, and good fun. Highlights of the day? Watching MrMe slide gracefully into the TT seats Chris's beautiful Daytona S8 - what a car - and watching Chris do a great take off from the Cat and Fiddle - right into the sights of the scamera van! Meeting some new faces A good drive to the Cat & Fiddle - we ended up in two groups and we in Garcon's posse took the scenic route - my DIS shows the evidence of following an S4, two S8s and goodness knows what else!. Daz's RS4 exhaust note - always a joy. Will's super blinged S8 interior! JC cleaning up the left overs as ever. Ian_C giving me a nice bottle of wine for organising the meet. Will put my pics in the gallery later but here are some highlights.... Everyone distracted Ian_C whilst they looked at his VIN number medium car, big car, big car Jim - "I can hear rustling in those bushes" MrMe wonders if he can have two of everything A small delay on food led JC to think of eating the cutlery jar That is one bling interior! MrMe "How the feck am I going to get out of here" A tad lower than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Got back at 7.10pm after a 3hr+ drive. I don't ever want to have to drive through that godforsaken place named Stockport again!!!! We covered about 12 miles in an hour. It was atrocious. Please, please, please can we hold it somewhere that means we route around that hell hole for traffic next time!!! Good to see some new faces, new cars and the usual collection of superior automobiles. I'll post the pictures in the Gallery, but in the meantime here are a few tasters.... Chris_B's S8 CraigyB's W12 Ian_C's 1.9 GTi was very nice - but the tyres need attention.. KGMan's GTi looked nice in Steel Grey NiGhT pursues A8_Tony Jim...courtesy of Daz.... Avant_B6's, errm, not Avant B6....very nice. J_C does his John Inman impersonation? Excitement all round here... Finally, my poor, poor, car before it needed a wash...which it now certainly does.

CarMad Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Here you go a few of mine. More in the Gallery. Cars resting after the drive up to the Cat and Fiddle. The low Flying squad in action. Follow this, a 645, and A8 on country roads with the windows down with a 6.0 V12 A8 chasing behind.... Fantasic. The leader of the pack, great route Jon.

Milo Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I'm not a fan of 'big' cars as a rule but the S8 looks superb, the wheels in particular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 You should of heard it when it nailed it out of the carpark. Its quiet in the carpark but then it cleared its throat. Only to slam on because of the scamera van positioned just down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntW Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Inclined to agree with Mrme about the A6 through Stockport... it took us ages getting back through there, you barely get 50 yards without traffic lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewcam Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Looks like a great day folks It's a shame i missed it as some very nice cars there (S8 ) Hope to meet those that i havn't met at another meet sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's a blind corner coming out of the pub there, you need to get moving to keep out of the way of other traffic, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
