It was great today, nice to see a good turnout compared to the last few months.

I parked in an empty car park thinking "My E55 will look out of place amongst the lambos" and there was like 5 E55s there!

I was just about to ask about that GTO. Check on the pics on the facebook website. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=o.250042415686
And you wonder why we can't keep a venue for more than a few weekends.
