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!

Great pictures Ashok, We all enjoyed our first meet, It was good lunch, meeting everyone and the weather was kind to us. Sorry about Katie under the restaurant table!
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)?
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

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...

Technicially, it's not an E60, it's an E61...
