Enjoy the day guys.
Many, Many thanks Guy's what a great day! THe G is muddier than ever before - pictures later - which casued a problem as I picked up a flat on the way home. (Second change of a tyre! which was a challenge in the dark, cold and a flat torch :cry:
Made it home safe - no more issues withthe aternator, but now with the gear shift (See Technical section)
Had a hoot, the girls had a hoot and we all look forward to the next one!

Hi to all who ventured onto Salisbury Plain yesterday.
The pictures that I took, I will put into my photo gallery, but it might be worth one of the moderators creating a gallery for the day so that all pics can be put together, since there were quite a few taken by different people :idea:
If you really did enjouy yourselves, and fancy doing something similar in the future, I would be happy to work out some more routes.
that looked like a great day out fellas.
in the picture of ruby, she looks clean, did huss wash her half way round?
as for you joe, i second what peter said, that is perfect, have you washed it yet or leaving it be for a little while?
Tom - wishing he was there, and even more so with a G!
Great day and thanks to all for making my first time out a joy (and thanks to the advice from the veterans)!!
Good also to meet many of you and put a face to the numerous names on the forum.
I've uploaded my pics to an online gallery until i sort them out for this site (resizing, editing, etc). Please feel free to have a look, hope you all enjoy even though most of the pics are of the group that i was in.
Here's the link, hope it works!!
(message to Admin - why do many of the posts I would like to watch slip through the 'Watch this topic' notifiers? Does this happen to anyone else?)
i have two clips of the day, just managed to download one on facebook,look under G's at Stonehenge.
just finished jet washing ruby 10 mins ago :wink:
plan spending wednesday afternoon stripping the old wax and re-detailing her from top to bottom.
great seeing you all out there, just felt a bit diveded from the other group.would have prefered if we could have had better photo video footage. but i will post ALL my phots guys. now off to dry off ruby :wink:
only joking..
bill couldnt make it, as he was here .

Tom - wishing he was there, and even more so with a G!
Got It cleaned today - strange I have had more people come up to chat to me with my G all muddy than ever!
This is what it looked like at the end of the day... (What I did miss though was the mud on the Roof!)
Once again thanks to everyone - what a Brill Day.

:P

Lovely pics Huss, great one of Stonehenge at sunset. Dawny x
cheers dauny :wink:
its funny, i took that last pic as me and sav were leaving. we turned right when we left the last spot of the event and you guys turned left :? well thats what tomtom said and it took us right past stonehenge where we slowed down to a stop because of traffic,just then although my digi camera had run out of battery power i switched it on and managed thes two 'fluke' pics and they do look fab :P
heres the other....
the only thing i wasnt happy with was the fact that we split into two groups and never got a chance to chat to piggy, spider&co,twodogs etc... but still a brilliant day in my honest opinion.
wish we could of had a proper video'd section of all of us....
maybe next time i am over....but with no G.....
