Closet Ultima owner on the forum, nice! Glad you had a good one chaps, sorry I couldn't make it.

Ultima guy isn’t on the forum. I talked to him next to a Ferrari 296 GTS - he was drinking a pint bottle of Old Mout before 11am then got in the Ultima and headed off 😂

Great to see you guys again (or for the first time!) Need to ensure we manage it more than once every 3 years. Thanks also in absentia to @Sundayjumper for the attendance of the 360 8-) @Gavster only had it on the lockstops a couple of times ;)

If anyone wants a full size version of any of the photos just let me know and I can send to you.

I feel for those without a roof and aircon today. My car said 29C when I got back in. So I turned up the seat ventilation.

Biggest question though, did anyone recognise Gavin off the telly? :lol:

He wasn’t carrying a camera on a stick around so I don’t think any influencer fanboys spotted him.

Did you park next to the Ultima to give your battleship some scale Jobbo? :lol:

Everyone’s cars looking 👌

No, there was a Caterham 620R there originally - he left and the Ultima parked up.

I did ask Harry to park his X5 next to me so my car didn’t look so big.

Great to see everyone and put some faces to old names 8-)
Nice run along the B660 and a decent pub for more chat and more food.
My first C&M experience and it was as friendly and chilled-out as I was hoping (the Petersfield one is only 35 mins from me so might have to pay it a visit)

He was! He wandered around the car park making all of us into content.

I have reviewed my dashcam footage and sadly it is not as exciting as living it was.

Hope everyone got home safe, and thanks @GG. for the great pics!

Never a truer statement. Something the yooooth of today would do well to learn. Hope you all had a great time, only slightly jealous you all got to go out and play in this weather

Some very nice cars there and a shame I was working.. as I am also unable to attend the curry evening I just had an excellent one in Delhi in your honour! 40 odd degrees here today, which does seem to make curry taste even better 👌

Yep, thanks for showing me what them 8500rpm upshifts are like in first, second and third in the 360 Gav ;)

Lovely pics there GG, thanks for sharing 👍

Was great to catch up with you all today, and to finally meet some of the forum legends who have managed to avoid me so far :lol:

I somehow feel we have unfinished business though, we need the trinity of purple cars on an ov9 meet!

My only sadness is being a bit too far back to really hear the voices of the cars. No matter the car, everyone could bloody move when the road allowed it!

Looks like a good day, and can't complain about the weather, that's for sure.

Kudos to whoever cleaned @MikeHunt's car, that is some shine 8-)

I hadn’t really intended doing the driving bit, but thought why not as I was already out, despite the distinctly non-evo choice of vehicle.

Still good fun hustling it along, although the brakes definitely wouldn’t have stood up to an oldschool wales run style meet 😄

I had three very different sounding vehicles ahead, 4pot Elise, straight 6 csl and flat 6 Porsche. Very rare on the road to hear anything above my own, so today was a nice change.

Nice to put some more faces to names, and see some I haven’t seen for many years!
