Carlos, I only took a few pictures, but my daughter took a load more - I don't have those yet.
Mine are below (first picture shows my Traveller in the "middle" of the group)[frame][/frame][frame][/frame]
Those were the 10, or so, Split-screen examples. Wider view next[frame][/frame]You'll have to wait until the other photos are available to me. Meanwhile, here is a picture of the "official" photographer on a tall "cherry-picker" crane, getting "ariel" shots.[frame][/frame]

Thanks gtt1951
I will waiting for other pics.
Cheers
Carlos

Mike, I always carry that in my card wallet - got "personal" cover for additional cars with my Brittania Rescue membership. As from the end of this month, both Moggies will be insured via Footman James and will carry their breakdown cover.
I think that BMCecosse is right when he said, somewhere, that if you've got the spares with you, you won't need them - I didn't breakdown, didn't need to use any spares, but did have to open up the auxillary "cooling" facility on the way home down the M40 as the recently installed water temp gauge was beginning to climb (sustained 60-64 mph travel) - I opened the brass tap to the heater matrix (had to use a piece of towelling as it was expected to be very hot). It ment that my daughter and I got a bit warm, inside, and had to open more windows.
Good to have met you and looked under your Series MM bonnet.
George.

There's always one Simon Austerfield!!!!

They were both 1275s too...

Just a quick note from the 'back room' team - we'd like to offer our sincere thanks to all the attenders of this event. We ended up with quite a few more cars than we'd expected through bookings, but everyone got in okay with absolutely no hiccups that I'm aware of (okay, I did park the first 2 cars on the tarmac the wrong way round - blonde moment!). All the drivers were helpful and got themselves parked quickly in line with our scheme so the marshal could move on and sort the next car, etc. I'd especially like to thank the people who helped us out at the Oxford end when we found ourselves one marshal short due to illness. It seems from feedback that absolutely everybody had a good day and enjoyed themselves, and I want to remind you all that that's because you helped us help you, so thank you instead!

Thank you again it was a great little outing!


Picnic time, the only people to not bring fold out chairs - rookie error!

a little snippet of video

Hello Folks,
I've finally seen the pictures my Daughter took for me on the day (Traveller at 60). There are some pictures of the Travellers that did the road run, before taking off.
The images are available to view on http://500px.com/iucphotography/sets
