the weekend 9-10 feb is out for me as im off for a short break but the following and any after would be ok. Any pub or meeting place east of lakeside would be fine for me as long as its not as far as Nolfork :lol: .

I then spotted in my rear view mirror, a crazy idiot undertaking in their B10, then the driver started to flash their headlights, therefore I moved into the second lane, but then this idiot started waving at me, I then realised that it was Thomas :lol:

We both went into Elite, where I had my two front wheels replaced and also purchased two new Michelin PS2 tyres for the rear. As we both did not have anything to do afterwards, we therefore decided to drive my car some distance on the A13 to feel the difference and it is noticeable. Driving at 70mph was smooth, I therefore am convinced that driving at higher speeds will be just as smooth - not that Thomas and I found out as I always drive up to the speed limit :wink:

Thomas wanted me to take some photos of his new tints and his Gruppe M, but I forgot to take a picture of the back of the cars therefore no picture of the back window tint – doh! I said to Thomas, if I did post them on the forum then members might think that this was a planned meet - it was a coincidence that we met today.

Guys there has been some interest with a meet therefore what will people prefer an evening meet or weekend day meet? Open to suggestions and a date either via PM or on this thread, cheers.
I forgot to praise you Nealpina, on the photo's you had taken on saturday.

A way better than the one's last week, especially the Gruppe M Photo :lol: :lol:
