Sorry mates I can't come this time as my partner is on holiday. So I need to take care of the business. Have a good time and look forwards to seeing you all again in Nov.

Not that I made it very often but I won't be able to come for 5 months as I am learning German on Weds now.

I should be able to make this months meeting.
i will be travelling from work in Peterborough so will be relying on sat nav to get me there.

Can you give me a post code or name of road

Regret will not be Alpina as will not use it for work; will be in 740iL

Hopefully i can persuade some of you to come down to the Northampton pub meet next Monday ?

Have fun this evening folks :D

Sorry I can't be there but a return trip to Newnarket and a scuppered M1 mean that I won't be joining you.

However, I'll be thinking of you :D

Enjoyed the meeting last night; just sorry i couldnt stay later.
Despite it taking me 2 hours to do 56 miles to get there, the 70 miles back was so much more enjoyable and only took xx mins !!!
The M1 was quiete but the A14 was dead ! With the car straddling the white line on an empty road . it was just let to purr along at 3500rpm. the only noise was a slight tyre noise from the rear. It was dissapointing to reach lit areas and other traffic but they were soon passed and back to the dark areas.
I might have only been in a V8 7 seriers but i would imagine the Alpina would have been just as enjoyable.
Enjoyed meeting you all and having a chat.
Hope to see you again at Stoneleigh.

There are a few - but as it was very dark there aren't many ! They'll be up sometime soon.
