Have a fantastic day you lot! :D :D

I would love to come along but I am doing the Roses Run (20th - 21st September) and no matter how hard I try I can't be in two places at once :( :lol:

p.s. Bill, I'll be advertising the LEO run for next year on the Roses run! :wink:

I hope the run goes well Cam, and that you and Gill really enjoy it :D

Thanks for the plug :wink: Hopefully we'll have even more interest next year, and for those that don't fancy such a long drive a new event, MOT-UK :D

It would be quite a big detour from the expected route... Not sure such itinerant thinking would be tolerated by BB!

OJO and another Oxon & Berks Branch MM enjoying the sun at Gaydon. Unfortunately as we had not pre-booked we were not parked with all the other Series MM's in front of the museum.

Nice to see a good turn out and meet OJO in the flesh. Met several good folk from the forum plus quite a few customers from years back, so an enjoyable afternoon. :D

Didn't see you there Jonathon but managed to catch Neil and Stephanie, Dale, Roger Rust, Bill & Leslie, Jay Minor, Niel (marimite), Kevin, Jon and Lou and Mike Perry.
Did I miss any other webbies apart from JLH?

Missed me too, but I haven't a clue what anyone looks like :). Spoke to a nice couple with a clarendon series II by the MMs, turned out according to Sandy that my series II is just eight weeks older :). Spoke to another nice guy with a white minor who had just taken it over to France and clocked his 94,000 th mile. Gave me some great advice! I couldn't believe Rosie new my name even though she'd neither met or seen a photo of me before, just by mentioning my registration number.... wow ... I was impressed! :)

Basically I had a great day.

Sorry didn't realise it was your car, I do remember looking at those two for a while. There was quite a nice number of MM's on show.

Three of them were from our Branch, and there was to be another, but that unfortunately couldn't make it.
