Good to know that you all had such a good time here in Welsh Wales.
Although I didn't get to meet everybody and to see all the cars, it was great to get down to the Chainbridge Hotel and to meet at least some of the participants in what was a very successful tour. Inevitably, I can remember very few names (I do remember Mike and Ian in particular - they will know who they are, and good to see you again, Gwyn), but thanks to everybody whom I met - too bad I had to be on my way so soon after your arrival at the hotel.
And on Sunday, some 911s were seen in Barmouth - I was there!
The good weather was a free optional extra!!
Cheers - Arfor.

Wonderful weekend.
Superb organisation by Gary and Rich. I know how much effort they put in to make the whole weekend run so well (I know this first hand of course because Brendan hardly did a thing last year on the 'Scottish'). I want to thank them for putting all the time and effort in both before and during the event. The maps were great (better than ours Brendan.......full colour no less but too small for Rhona to read so we got lost) .
No photos, too busy trying to keep up with James.
Arfor ,thanks for the facinating story about your car and your life in Zimbabwe.
Finally arrived home 1.20pm after a brief stop in Lancashire. Just over 1000 miles in total.
We had a great time meeting and chatting with old friends and some new friends. It made it a special wekend for us.
Thanks again Gary and Rich and of course Juliett and Kate.
Regards
Mike

back home now
Had a great time, thanks to everyone for making it a great weekend, really enjoyed meeting old and new members. Kate has finally got the P car love and wants to know when the new meet is!! (magic!)
A big big thanks to Gary his large part of the organising and to Juliet for keeping him sane through it!
As posted earlier no real major problems, although a Police car nearly put a spanner in the works at one point
I am sure Bootsy will post later about the Adams Classic Car Club / Jason Donovan reference.....it's nothing sinister
