Many thanks to all that turned up. I must say, it turned out better than I expected. Kenny, I hope your mate enjoyed the quick spin around the block. Glad everyone appreciated viewing the M3. Good experience. :mercedes:

I just noticed, the BMW M POWER photo really looks like the wording is photoshopped on. andy, we can always arrange to be there early and line up across the road to help you stop ?

Really sketchy with cars everywhere but managed to sling it round (thank god it handles!) with some screaming tyres missed the exit I needed totally and had to go round a 5m detour before getting back on route. Limped home with massive gaps betweenthe cars.

Lovely weather too Crysak - very clean car mate, you must be proud - keep us posted on your developments Ewan - thanks for the ride in the VX220 - certainly different in almost every way to the rest of the MBs! + everyone else for being there - hope to see you all again soon. Will

So glad I took the vx instead. RE, the pax rides - thats what the vx is for - completely pointless fun drives just for the sheer hell of it. Actually I did use it to commute in this morning and am now sitting here wondering why I bothered. I did 40mph on the A31 and then 30mph on the twisty 60mph roads from the A3 to where I work. Bloody traffic! :angry: Chris - I suspect that its the car that is out of proportion to you and me in the picture above. As Lisa said, it looks like its radio controlled! :lol: :lol: I thought the best bit was when Cosworth (sorry can't remember actual name) asked me if I had a 190!! Sorry, er... yeah I just brought the wrong car! To balance things out the next vx meet is being held at a pub on a weekday evening. I'll take the merc and remind vx owners what comfortable seats other cars have and what luxury it is to have central locking and electric windows.

I reckon the location on Saturday was spot on. Lovely scenic drive there along the A31 etc, nice local roads and the hotel/pub had a nice car park although I was a little late for lunch/drinks unfortunately. Will

Highlights included Will's immaculate 2.5-16v and Verdi being told off for his enthusiastic driving by a man in an MPV . Definately up for a London GTG but my car needs serious attention first (another thread)

Basically the guy in the MPV couldn't take it because he was faced with all our nice cars against his dappy MPV (CRAP). I bet his MPV couldn't spin on the spot like the M3 LOL.gif
