Well it was indeed a great day.Well worth the little drive round my favourite car park (M25). 
The roadworks were no problem going & not that bad coming home.
There was a bit of blue light activity (not my own this time) which coincided with one of our convoy shooting off rapidly (I will name no names) I hope all was well & you were just going for a loo stop.
There were so many cars represented from all different makes I did hear there were around 3,500 on show.So plenty of car candy & quite a bit of eye candy.It was a hot day.
Although I think we may have failed in the traditional ESC "thong" shot. 
It was a cracking day with good company as always, and a chance to cross the border into MSOC's territory.
We did get a couple of their members hanging around our stand. Potential wannabees? Yearning for one of our "Active member" logos ? But I think they were just trying to sell their car or something.
Little Eric enjoyed his day as he was allowed out of the car & sat in front posing & having his picture taken.
My pictures will be up a little later.Watch this space.

we just came across to be friendly and to offer our commiserations that you had such a small showing..make up the numbers like In fact all you lot were lolling around so much, it was more like "InActive members "
Thanks to BigD for your advice, cheers, going to try some of the things you suggested and hope to see the beast up at Santa Pod soon...should be a sight to see that pounding down the strip.

Ok i'm a tad late but only just found this. I believe it must have been you guys that passed our little band off TT's, S3 and a RS4.( On our way to the TT annual event ) on the M25 by the roadworks. Just have to say all your cars looked great. But the Green Prodrive Scoob looks fantastic. Nice motors guys.

Did you have a good day where you went, as we thought you was going the same way as us, & we was waiting to SEE you!!!

Yeah it was ok. I pulled a girl i had been chasing for months so is was all good
Down side is because i dont have a TT anymore. On the photo lap around Fords test ring at Gaydon i hadt to be a passenger in her car. So no opputunity to really be able to open my car up on a high speed ring

Cheers. I'd only picked it up the week before. Going from a TT to that took some getting used to. Took a few weeks to get used to the power delivery and gear changes plus how neutral it is around bends compared to the TT's massive tendency to want to understeer.
Actually after just going to your own site. I also remember your car. Also looked fantastic. Was nice to see some great examples all in one go. Noticed alot off them these days that seriously need some tlc.
