Have fun !!!!!

Steve.

You're too young for that honor/honour. While I wouldn't say I'm pushing 50, I'm certainly dragging 46. And anything under 30 is ancient history.

Hey, are there prizes bestowed upon the oldest and youngest in attendance? ...those coming the furthest? ...car with the most miles? ...with the least miles?

SoYank · 04-21-2006, 01:43 PM

I'll also have a can of chrome polish. That's polish for chrome, not polish of chrome.

Spiffy up the grille and tailpipes.

London320d · 04-21-2006, 02:14 PM

Have a great time!. I can't wait to see the photos.

A quick note to my Diesel colleagues: Reset your journey computer when you start out and make our Petrol cousins really jealous when you get there

As for the weather, I don't think that you have anyting to worry about.

I use "gasoline".

vivekk · 04-21-2006, 04:35 PM

I'm been looking forward to this meet since the planned one last November.
Can't wait.

The plate covers have been printed today.
Unfortunately, a slight problem has meant the E90post font has been ignored by the printers & a default has been used instead.

Sorry everyone.

However, they still look great & they'll look even better in a group shot.

All the best.

Catch you all at 12pm at the car park next to the Museum at Donington Park- there's a cafe there.

I'll be there. See you on the road Viv, whats the numbers looking like - are we expecting 15 or so? Spent a bit of time washing it today but really couldn't be bothered polishing or waxing. Talk to you all tomorrow.

A couple of the 15 on the current list haven't actually said if they intend coming or not.
We also have Steve coming now, so that means we could have 14-16 in total.

It's looking good!

All the best.

Viv

PS- I've only got 14 plate covers printed!

vivekk · 04-21-2006, 04:50 PM

I'll be there!

Just got to decide between getting up early to wash and maybe wax or taking the car to the dealer for a free wash.

I am thinking the same. Got to get up early anyway, but wish i hadnt posted shining car earlier in the week since it is now not so shiny, and had absolutely no time to sort it this week since i only finished work a couple of hours ago. But cant turn up with grubby motor. Guess it will be an early start for a quick freshen up. Going to be a long day! Looking forward to tomorrow. See you all there.

I'm expecting some dirt on the car by the time we get to Donington FD.
I'm bringing a bucket to fill with the jetwash & using some Autoglym or Meguiars wash to clean the car.
A quick run over with your FlexiBlade & then a polish!

Catch you in....around 11 hours FD!

Viv

booforty · 04-21-2006, 05:47 PM

I'll be there guys - JonMad and I leading the South East convoy!

See you at noon - and it should be dry!

Paul.

Viv . The 3M's Grossy Enhancer spray is quite nice to apply after water dried up

Enjoy first UK Meet !!! Take more photos !!

SteveG · 04-22-2006, 05:46 AM

Hi folks,

Bit late as I suspect that you will all be on the road to Donnington now but my boss isn't being co-operative today and won't let me nip out for a couple of hours to meet up.

I'm only ten miles away in Nottingham and the weather is sunny and warm so you should have some great opportunities for good pictures and video.

Hopefully catch you all for the next meet.

Cheers,

Steve.

timking85 · 04-22-2006, 11:01 AM

Count me in! im in Hampshire...

mjh93sa · 04-22-2006, 04:27 PM

Great to meet you all and drool over the E90's.

A couple of shots from Donington...

(gratuitous sharkfin shot for LEDZEP)

mjh93sa · 04-22-2006, 04:32 PM

A couple more shots to annoy Marilyn and the other petrol drivers...

60.6mpg and 805 miles range (trip zeroed at fill-up)

Today was absolutely fantastic- strange how we ended up with more 'members' than we actually expected?!!

Great shots Matt!

Here's a group shot of us all & a group car shot.
