Unfortunately there were several "Suddy" moments throughout the weekend, and absolutely none of them can really be explained well enough. It really was "you had to be there" moments...

Still, should make you all want to come to the next club zany meet!

:D

Hey suddy,

it was me who made the pics! Are you the guy drinking the german fly?

What kind of comments you want to have for the fly-drinking-pics? I can edit it... :wink:

BTW: How many 480s were officially at the meeting? I can´t find the officially amount.

BDD

Hello Everybody!

I really enjoyed my first meeting!
Next time i will stay a little longer than just one day.
Anyway, my photo's are now avaliable on

http://s66.photobucket.com/albums/h280/ ... el%202006/

The foto's are made with a friends camera and unfortunately i did not notice that the option 'printing the date and time on the foto' was set "on".
:(

I'll hope you still enjoy them.

Has anyone told Practical Classics magazine about the meet? They might want to run a story on this, it looks like there was a really good turn out. Gutted I couldn't be there.

Are you the guy drinking the german fly?
I admit it, i'm guilty. It was wel lecker though. Adds flavour, you should try it...

Leave the captions as they are mate, I can't read them anyway!

i counted the 480s at the meet, and there was 63 when i counted...
