A5_OC UK Meet 25 May 2008 - Pics on Flickr.

Hi Guys... Here's some pics from my phone/video camera I though might compliment the 'official pics'. (Sorry for the quality; I've done my best to enhance them)

What it's like to be followed by an S5... or two!




Looking back...




I bet there's no 'Dings' in THIS car-park!!

Sorry, just got up. And thawed out.

Great pics showing up - reliving the day again. Turned out really well in fact, really good bunch of characters and Ian was there as well. But Reb. Reb! Reb!!!!
Your pictures. Pit-stop_1. Ah, remember it now? Yes, that's the one, the one with a fat bloke on the left of the screen outside some toilets. Sparking-up a cigarette?

Reb, I'm sure you didn't know ('cos I didn't tell you) but the Missus doesn't know I smoke (yes, honestly) and so I can never, ever have actual evidence of my underground participation in the activity made public!

Chances of her ever participating in this forum are slim-to-none, so I reckon I'm pretty safe but if anyone else captured any pics of said fat bloke, no need to blank-off my number plate ('Ess 5ive' isn't my real reg, honest!) but please plaster your magic pixels over my ***!

Seriously though, great efforts by Reb, Manor, Hilly, Plob, Ian and everyone else, particularly the long-suffering WAGs who brightened up the day somewhat.

Re chronicling the day, 1) Ian's being modest - his write-ups are at least as comprehensive as mine and usually contain more algebra, 2) I was so desperate for the toilet for one leg of the drive (the first one after leaving the pub, strangely) that I could barely see, much less note where I was and how I felt about it and 3) sitting here today, I'm not actually certain where we visited (saw a big dam, got that bit) but suspect that destinations included Bakewell, Glossop (?) Whaley Bridge and numerous other random Victorian throwback villages. But not sure what order and what distinguished them. Know there were a lot of A/S5s about as well.

Will that do?

Ess5... I've put a few pixels over the picture to disguise your habit:
