But if it's a goer will be there.

Bugger! Just a quick jaunt down the M6 for me too but it's my eldest sons 16th Birthday and I don't think he'd take to kindly to me going out to something Zed related...He already believes I love the car more than I do him :wink:
So where are you based in Wigan?
I'll give you a wave if I see you around :D

Yeah, it was a great meet.. I was a bit worried about it before we arrived and even told Gemma we didn't have to stay if you all turned out to be weirdos! :D

Was great to meet you all though and to see some more nice Z's. Any you're not weirdos :D

Looking forward to the next one. I know a few nice routes in and around Wales, Cheshire and Shropshire with going on rideouts with the bike so we could maybe do a Northwestern drive out sometime.

It was freezing last night but at least it stayed pretty dry. Roll on the lighter, longer nights.

Did you notice the Ford Focus which had parked with it's front end wrapped around a lampost on the roundabout just outside the pub carpark?! I thought it was just broken down until i noticed the front was caved in! :shock: Driver was out and on the phone so no serious injuries or anything
