Neil? Was yours the silver freetop that passed me and DBO on the M5? (RAP on the reg)
No not us, we're a burgundy freetop (HAB)

By the way Karen says everyone was doing 40 mph on the M5 on the way home and it wasn't her tanking it. :^o

Oh no, not headless, just uncomfortable

And very very tall

But he obviously left a little bit of his magic elbow grease behind, as look what happened when the boys got home

A great weekend, though. Looking forward to next year already :D
Like Helen says elsewhere... Polishing is addictive! :lol: Looks like a job well done! =D> =D>

R.e the headless bloke... I had a quick eyes round to make sure there wasn't any cameras knocking about before i got in the motor :shock: :shock: :oops: (great car by the way)

Hi All,
Just like to add our thanks to all the team at Camping Caradon, including our esteemed leader of course.
It always is a great place to go.
Had a lovely meal, thanks Tim & Jill.
Met many friends old and new, great neighbours, Pete & Sue, Brian & Bev.
Nice to see part of the NW crew too, DBO & BDC well away from home.
Got some bling and some engine protection, ate too much, drank too much, spent too much.
Funny how Trago has so much stuff you never knew you needed.
Looe and Polperro as picturesque as ever.
Lovely pics everyone, I took my camera but never took one picture, must try harder.
Looking forward to next year already.
John & Jan.

Hi folks, what a great meet Looe turned out to be, the best yet. As usuall we had a warm and friendly welcome from Steve and his crew on our arrival. Then I was ordered not to lift a finger as Kirsty, Johnny bee, Pete and others as we arrived at our pitch and unhitch the caravan. Thanks guys.

It was a pleasure to meet so many new faces and to catch up with the regulars. Many thanks to BDC and DBO for coming so far just for a couple of nights and for putting up with me pestering them to come down. The light show was a success, and I can see Del Boy gettng a load of leds before the next meet.

Thanks goes to Bongobits for the draw witch was won by Terry Bruce. I was down at Bongobits on Tuesday and Mark told me that Terry wanted a chrome door bar which they had and fitted for him then and there.

Thanks to Ian for all the work he does behind the sceans, having organised a few meets myself I know how time cosumming it can be. I do it to help my sanity, otherwise i'd go mad with the boardom. And thanks to Kirsty for her efforts, she does it for the same reasons as me.

I must also mention Chris and Gem just for being a good mate and for taking all those caravan magazines and for the Bongo parking sign. Paul Mulcahy for getting our new Quachua Base tent and delivering the same to me at Looe.

It was so good to see you Johnny and Jan "the bee people" So glad you made the effort to travel from Sussex and Pete and Sue from Kent. Others I must mention are Haydn Callow for trying to sort my reversing sensors, Tim from the Bongo shop for the signage at such short notice,

Our thanks goes to all of you who made his a meet to remember

Rest assured if you live close to one, as I do, you avoid it unless it's absolutely necessary to go in there for something that you DO know you need :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

So good to meet new peeps and see all the ones we know so well. Our Kirstie shepherding the flock, so good to see Dave, Steve and the lovely 'Jingle Jangle'; thanks for the number-plate surrounds. Team Bridge gave us some good laughs, Baz on the Raz was chuffed with his new roll-out; I think.
We were next to Brian & Bev and Johnny and Jan "the bee people"; lovely honey, didn't get my nibbles! Although Crazy Graham seems to have helped in that department! Hmmm?
John and Jane were good company, hope to get to see you very soon.
Many thanks to Jeff and Paulette for the tour of their new Bongo and for the instructions and material for making the roof bed more accessible.
Have to say that I missed Ian and Selina, "Brat" and Lyn.
Just so nice to be there with such good company.

Quite a shock to wake up in plastic surburbia, nice peeps tho'.

A small pome for Crazy.

The wonderful love of a beautiful maid,
The love of a staunch true man,
The love of a baby unafraid,
Have existed since life began.
But the greatest love, the love of loves,
Even greater than that of a mother,
Is the tender, passionate, infinite love,
Of one drunken bum for another.
Pete & Sue

Turned out nice again!
