Pictures from today's London meet

Good to see so many new faces and a few of the old fogeys as well

We had some impressive Alpina's come along including Hythe's E60 B5 touring:



Here's the engine in Richard's B12 6.0 and Tin getting the mod bug again...



Hanging out in suburbia:



Aha - what's this?



Bentley Continental Flying Spur in the car park:



More heavy metal:



Now the caption competition - what on earth is Dan describing here??



Another good meet despite the cold weather; see you next time!

Re: Pictures from today's London meet

Good to see everyone - must make sure Ashok doesn't upstage me AGAIN by having the cleanest car around!
Any more news on the tranny fault Ashok (thanks v. much for organising again btw)?

Re: Pictures from today's London meet

Seems to have just been a one-off Gus; the transmission fault warning came up just the once and hasn't ever since. I'll get the dealer to do a diagnostic when the car is next in but I suspect (hope) it was just a software bug.

Roger managed to spot a small piece of fluff on the car after lunch so it's wasn't absolutely clean

It's hard to say, but apparently there is such a thing as a push-in bra.

Re: Pictures from today's London meet

Sorry we had to head off in a hurry before lunch - Kate was kinda on the warpath by the time we went inside to lunch, so we had to get moving - my own fault for turning up so ridiculously early, I suppose!

Pity we didn't get to know you all better, but we look forward to tagging along to an event in the spring...

I had a large bet with Ashok that your 'E61' was a 4.4l superch. and not 5.0l superch,.

It will be such a shame that I win Ashok's car on a bet!

If i'm wrong then its a set up but my fault for turning up in an Audi I suppose.
