There you go. I find there is a certain Zen balance achieved by having at least 1 matching pair of Fuchs under the bed. Mark (912UK) has been doing it for years I understand

I stop short of watching telly in a Wolseley Hornet :lol:

WOW :shock: so this explains why I had so little success in pulling when I was younger - IF ONLY I'd known that a set of Fuchs under the bed would have increased my success rate :wink: :lol:

Sorry, no pics from me. It was really suprisingly busy tho... possibly moreso than some of the summer classic car nights there, and in January! Turned up a bit late, but got Vic C's parking space right in the middle... cheers Vic :wink:

Gatso is pretty unlucky :( ... but not as unlucky as the C3.2 owner who's car was hit by a hit'n'run hoodlum near the roundabout. Quite severe damage to the RH rear quarter and suspension :evil:

I did notice the roads to be very greasy last night. Maybe successive layers of salt combined with damp atmosphere is a bad thing... experienced some scarey understeer near Wandsworth common on the way! :shock:

It was a surprisingly good turn out. The car park was totally filled with Porsches. Great sight and even better sound. If the organisers weren't sure, I'd say it was a success :)

A great turn out, I think everyone was surprised, and it was warm enough to stand outside and chatter. Greasy roads? Didn't notice, I was in my Quattro :oops:

I heard the accident was a result of a Royla Mail lorry . . . . mind you he did have two wheel on the road.
