    this has to have been the best meet I ever seen - way more than the registered 202 cars inc. 2 Enzos and *at least*2 GT40s - holy smoke!

    pics to follow...

    Yes, you need one! :) Geoffrey (Bob348) is also hooked.

    It was a FANTASTIC meeting. The amount of different cars was amazing and the weather was great. It was definitely worth the drive!
    I tried to sit in a Caterham and an Elise. :) I loved that black Enzo. It was so beautiful.
    And most of all I enjoyed the company of the three M(usqueteers).
    Mike, Marc and especially Mark thanks for a BRILLIANT weekend on Mud Island.
    I will try to upload some pictures later today.

    And the sound of those TVR's...... wooooooow!

    I made 247 pictures!!!! That is a bit too much for this thread. I am trying to upload them to my Flickr account, but there seems to be a problem. I am working on it! :)

    It was a target rich environment! What a day! Took about the same - will process, pick the best and post...

    BTW I'm still chuckling about the 512TR test drive we did - people I had meetings with first thing thought I was unhinged with a grin like that! I'm never that cheerful on monday morning! thanks ton!

    (512TR movie here: http://www.pixelnitro.com/512/ )

    Wow, this looks amaaaaaaazing! Very-very-very beautiful! I should experience something like this also one time, in the future. Especially because i have relatives in the UK (Wokingham, near Reading). Great pics. What a super-event! What about everybodies ears, because of the sounds, i guess? Does they still hurt? Or were all the exausts just like music in everybodies ears? :) Greetings from Holland! (Rotterdam)

    thanks - sad to have missed the 666.

    I love that shot from the ground up with the door open - taken by the owner?

    Very, very nice video !! It just shows how driving a Ferrari can enjoy. Needless to say that Ton must have had an amazing trust/confidence in your driving skills when handing over the keys...

    Yes, I know Marc for a few years now. I consider him a friend whom I trust. There is only a few people that will ever drive in my car. I am happy to take the others along for a ride in the right seat. :)

    So, if you wanted to ask the question....., the answer is NO! :)
