Hi Guys,

Nothing too exciting ... Just Sunday lunch at a pub, some SAAB talk and a
good nose at each others cars

Location: The George & Dragon, Apperley Bridge, Bradford, BD10 0PU
When? Sunday 18th February at 12:30 ... for lunch

All welcome ... Whether you're from West Yorkshire, or not.
Great afternoon! Much enjoyed! Great to see you there afterall, Al ... and
nice to meet the others and follow you all around in our pocket Ferrari I
tell you what, that twin carb didn't do a bad job of keeping up ... Until
the straights

I'll have the white whale out next time ... in a month, or so?

.... and a link to Al's noisy JT 8)
We had a bit of hooliganism in the tunnel under the airport runway, but it
sounds like Andy's camera just closed its ears and refused to record. Next
time, eh? I tell you what ... that noise was hilarious ... I bet half the
people in the tunnel thought a plane was coming through
.... Aero, indeed! 8)

I was up for this (being in York and all) until this morning, when Mrs. Derv
needs to go to the doctors. :-/
We tended to agree that towards North Yorkshire would be good for a next
meet-up and have some fun around the roads out of Knaresbrough would be
good. My thoughts are, drive around, find a country pub, have a spot of
bonnet lifting and some lunch, drive around some more, catch an afternoon
ice cream at Ripley Castle (you know theirs is the best) and pick up exotic
beers for the evening from 'Beer Ritz' in Knaresbrough

I let you know ...

It's the bonnet lifting that worries me. Can't we go and sniff diesel pumps
instead? :-) Mine is but the TiD and an early one at that.

It sounds like a plan. Charlie will take some... err... persuasion. Or she
can go shopping instead.

Oh Yes, I admit it, my JT sounds pretty awesome in tunnels, even when I keep
it just below the speed limit like that....;-)

Great fun was had by all, thanks for organising it Paul, look forward to the
next one. Good to meet the other guys too, nice to know there's a few of us
around. Loved that shine Andy esp.the bonnet mirror pics!!

Maybe bring out the good lady and the ankle biters next time, my kids love
"turbo grin" as we call it. The missus does drive a 9000 Anniversary after
all. Looking forward to seeing Orca all spruced up too.

Cheers for now

Al
