Thanks Taka. It will be a bit like today then. I'm sitting in Ruffey Lake park right now and it is cloudy and not very warm.

The life of a self funded retiree is very good

Well I was going to try and come along on Sunday, but I have no car.... leasing company stuffed up getting the financing done in time for delivery today.

Looks like I should get it Monday now.

takahashi · 07-10-2009, 07:11 PM

Come in any car MickyD... all are welcome. Can't wait to meet you all.

MickyD · 07-10-2009, 07:41 PM

I would, but I literally have no car at the moment - had to catch the train home last night after returning the Yaris rentacar I've been driving, we've got my partner's MX5 but she's using it tomorrow. There's always next time

I'm still far too young to retire! I'm getting bored now after not working for 6 months. Will get back into something soon. I want to do something different. Like helping a small business with the right "story" to grow or turn around a company that is going backwards. No more investment banking or big corporate roles for me anymore.

MickyD, catch a lift to Chaddy and go in the car with someone! Would be good to meet after all this time.

jksgoh · 07-11-2009, 08:41 PM

damn it, totally forgot about this!
oh well, hope you guys have/had a good time.

takahashi · 07-12-2009, 03:49 AM

You don't know what you are missing jksgoh

Mrs Taka and I had a very good time. Good to put faces to names.

Thanks Kev and Sarah for the food. I am still full.

I realise I did not take a lot of pics!

andrew@southernBM · 07-12-2009, 04:11 AM

Thanks to Sarah for organising a great day.

The weather held out and was great to catch up with some old faces and always a pleasure to meet new ones. (and 1er's)

Thanks for the photos Taka, My BMW Performance Carbon Diffuser and Titanium rear muffler burnt tips look nice, thanks for sharing.

The Space Grey Metallic looked the nicest car of the day in my opinion.

~sarah~ · 07-12-2009, 05:12 AM

Thank you all for braving the cold and coming on a Sunday morning.
It was reallys good meeting you all!! Lets do it again soon when the weather is a bit warmer (and i can have my roof off)

+1, Thanks Sarah / Kev

It was a great day for a drive and well organised. I'll post some pictures from my phone tomorrow (my cable is at work).

hahaha, thanks for the compliments andrew. i hope it wasn't because you had to stare at my bumper all the way back from sugarloaf.

'fatboy' · 07-12-2009, 06:40 PM

A couple more photos from yesterday's drive.

sorry about the size, haven't worked out how to resize...

volk613 · 07-13-2009, 02:08 AM

Again thanks to Sarah for the initiating the event and also the directions and food. Nice to meet some of the people from the forum and see the cars in person. Thanks to others for the photos. I hope we get a longer drive next time.
