Great to meet up yesterday. A few more photographs Jon and I took are at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 657&type=3.
Not all are Z1 or even BMW related.

Many thanks to the organisers for putting on a fine show with some decent weather.

No you're not alone.

The links in the first post are available for non FB users, can't get to the ones in post 3 though.

I also wanted to thank Roger for cranking it over until it started! Well done Roger, your persistence delivered a great result. The link below goes to a video of the parade lap that I've posted on Youtube. OK, the quality ain't great but as my Dad had only just wooken up from his beauty sleep I thought I would do the photography! I was also a little preoccupied with the consequences of dropping my iphone and having it driven over by the 27 following Z1's!

http://youtu.be/j1D5LZW1UKU

Under the circumstances it is ok - lots of Roger and Linda but then we were at the head of the queue.

Roger - I still have the HD version of this on my iPhone if you would like it. I tried several times to post it in HD but Youtune didn't like it each time.

Well done chaps. Let's keep flying the flag!
Best regards,

Sam Lever.

What a great day out and so nice to meet up with you guys again,who'd have thought some 20 odd years ago these cars would be going round Silverstone. Jet your right I counted 29 Z1's as well :D inc.2 R/H drive versions one a Griffin conversion and the other I believe was done by BMW. I have to say I was staggered how clean Ian M's & DPW's engine bays were as I'm sure Jet's would be. Thanks to Roger for arranging the meet at the Super Sausage Cafe we had a great breakfast...see you all next time Keith

Thats 26, but there were 29 cars, who have I forgotten? Anyone know the lady with the kids?

Great video BBZ149, glad I was just in front of you for the whole lap. How can I get a copy of it in return for a great picture of you?

Many thanks,

Darren.

An excellent day, the weather was kind and it was good to catch up with fellow Ferguson TE 20 enthusiasts.

Those who were missing have the opportunity to redeem themselves at Gaydon on the 19th August.

No photographs as I forgot to pick up the camera on the way out, which probably wasn't as inconvenient as forgetting car pass and tickets.
