I really liked the photos, despite the lack of hood sprawled cheesecake. Joe - Is your plum pudding an original Suby color (colour) or an add-on? Looks good to me. The little black warts on the bumpers that Larry mentioned - are they headlight squirters, or maybe fog blasters?
Send T-Shirts when ready.

Ron.

Ron I shot one of my dawgs for putting a paw on the bonnet. And as for putting dessert on it?, you yanks amuse me!

Mine is original black over claret, or Guinness over Shiraz as I used to call it.

BTW we did have plenty of glamour along, check out the ladies in the photos, not all the swivelling heads were for the Subies!

The warts are squirters, but being Japanese mine does without. One less thing to go wrong. As mentioned elsewhere, the only thing I really drooled after was the glass headlights. Will keep a good eye out for a crashed car with intact lights.

Would you like the tshirt with or without beer stains??

I'm striving for authenticity, so if brew stains better reflect the national character of the "Isles", so be it. I do draw the line at puke (vomitus) stains, however. Well... at least the chunky style.

Thanks, Ron.

Pleased you guys liked the pictures. I have some more to post, please be patient. Likewise for the review of the event, I've started it, but am having to fit it in around work

As far as I am aware standard UK spec included headlamp wash, no rear spoiler (although some interest was expressed about obtaining one.....), no third brake lamp although again this is not thought hard to retro-fit, sunshine roof, no rear wheel steering, optional machine-guns in front headlamps....... no, that was the Aston DB5

Driving on the wrong side Larry ?? Nooooo, that's the right, or correct side as we call it.......... Or was the diver simply distracted by the cool cars at the cafe ??

Aredubjay, I'll include a key as to who's who if you like, or add an anotated picture tomorrow. I've got a real good close up picture of Joe I'm going to post soon........

Phil, I saw the photo of Joe. It was very good to put a face to someone I consider, almost family and whom I may never get to see in the flesh. Although, coming to your part of the world is on my "wish list" for "before I die" things.

I'd also have to figure out how to swing by Oz and NZ to see James & Harv, and, especially Trevor.

It's amazing how close you can become to people without actually ever shaking their hands.

Again, great job, thank you all for sharing your experience. It's "the next best thing to being there." (with apologies to Ma Bell )

If there's no chunks, you can always say it's curry. Close colour[color?] match.

Randy, I am actually far more handsome "in the flesh", but they must have seen me at the pool or something. They insisted I wear clothes for all photo shoots.

Wow!!

They looked excellent...one of them is now the background for my desktop.....*gobsmacked*

And I agree with Randy, great to put a face to a name!!!

All those custom plates look amazing....*wipes drool off keyboard*

Glad you like them James.

I see the crew had a good time and reasonable weather on Sunday after John and I left. It was teeming rain as we left at 10.30, and continued all the way to Bristol, after which it was quite nice.

Maybe we could get all pix developed this week. If we are to have a T-shirt, or other souvenir ready before the US meet, perhaps we can consider all the better ones, and get that piece of the show underway. Ron Mummert is in need of a beerstained T-shirt for the event, so he can say "It wasn't me, it was the Brits who did that".

Actually, I plan to claim the stains as my own.
The chunks? Definately imported.
