Great evening, big thanks to those who made it happen. Nice to put faces to names (Will and Alex) even if I didn't speak to that many people. Relieved that AlexG made it home without turning into a ball of flame. I couldn't believe that the M25 AND the Blackwall tunnel were both closed on the way back - although if it did give us an excuse to cruise through central London. ;D

8Ball are wondering if the can book us in for April 14th and every SECOND Thursday? Dez and RR East this good with you? It mainly seems to be your baby? 14th April is my wifes birthday, so I'm guessing I won't make that one!

The second Thursday is curse word for me, I can go next months but wouldn't be able to go again until September looking at my work shift pattern.

Was a great evening. Big thanks to the Diner for welcoming us, was good to put some faces to names and talk cars without SWMBO moaning. Looking forward to next time and arriving in a retro rather than hidding at the back! Dez, thanks for organising this.

Good golly, why doesn't somebody invite the wifey or the GF to become social sec and do the name badges, FFS! Do you lot have any concept of how a party works? ;D
(You're all there at a nice joint and eating and parked up and 3 of you bump into each other and actually talk? Uncluster the cluster! Maybe if somebody set up a server and passed out laptops more people would have "met" each other? Ay carumba.........)

BTW It's fitted with a 2.5 24 valver from an E36. I'm lending him a gearbox from my drifter so he can go to DWYB this Wednesday!

Yeah it was a great night. Thanks to Martin (emdee) I went in style in his lovely mk2 Polo Coupe. Cheers for the lift mate. It was nice to meet Alex and Will - probably the only two people sensible enough to use their real names on the forum! None of this stupid mk2 polobloke stuff! Also got to meet diff, Dazstap and a couple of others who's real names I forgot pretty much as soon as they told me! By the time my daft memory has processed the forum name and what they drove I'd forgotten what their real names were! Some of my favourite cars were the totally stunning Cortina "woody" Estate, Alex's Metro 1.8VVC - a real sleeper, diffs awsome Mk2 Cortina turbo, the lovely low mk1 Golf on moon discs, the very rare Kadett B, Count's (careful on the spelling!) Lada, a very tidy bone stock mk2 Polo breadvan (surprise!) the LHD grey mk2 Golf GTi on BBS, ahhh and many more too. I'm looking forward to going again. Let's hope the weather is a bit warmer next time and we have an even bigger turnout. Cracking venue. Thanks to those that sorted this out, Cheers, Richard.

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.
