Let me be the first to thank "EH*ROB" for sorting out the Ace Cafe meet, it was good to meet some new owners and be part of a friendly group of guys and girls.....

And second to thank Allen Orchard and the "EE" team who made us very welcome!.... We even bought some good luck!!! (but not enough....)

Lastly "Stu" thanks for your efforts on tickets etc, WE appreciated the use of Your Royal Box!!!

We will see you all again at Donington next year....Or sooner maybe?

A great weekend!

Great to meet everyone again, and a big thankyou to Rob, Stu from Vauxhall, and the team from Emotional engineering at Brands who made us so welcome.

Can't wait to do it again

Thanks to UKHSV, EH Rob, EE, and Stu from Vauxhall for a great weekend. It was good to see the EE team have some success against those expensive Ferrari’s and Porsche. Just shows what some Australian engineering can do. I look forward to supporting the team with the new car next year.

Aye a big thanks from northern lad.

Class Weekend.

Great to have a convoy to the Ace (thanks Eric, SSute and crew) and to Rob for organsiing it - you were there in spirit mate

A big thanks to Stu for hospitality (sorry I didn't say good bye today) and also a Massive thank you VERY MUCH to Allen and the EE team for making us SOOOO welcome.

I am very jealous to say that Dan sat in the Munaro and I didn't!!! Next time (PLEASE )

The Munaro looked ace on the track and was performing super fine. Good luck for the prep work for next year.

Pauline an dI would also like to thank Rob for and Stu for pulling together a great weekend.

Apologies that I didn't get to meet you Stu. Things were a bit hectic when we arrived 5 mins before the race on Sunday.

Jagsy, next time you are cruisin this way we'll get another convoy together! I haven't spoken to Geezer Kev about his Rambler yet, but it looks like he got home with it ok. If its still oiling one bank then he may have a more serious issue...? We'll see!

And, last but not least.......
350 miles, 17mpg
....where can I get your featherweight shoes?????
(I did drive through London on Sunday to drop off my friends then similarly to pick them back up I suppose!)

Cheers, Eric

Great weekend. Shame about the erm, tall balding person doing all the moaning Today (Sorry, thats the nicest I can be after hearing his comments made towards the "non Cu**ings guests" whilst standing with Will within earshot).

But he couldnt put a damper on a great weekend (was wet enough already). And I must say, well handled by the guys who were REALLY in charge. He seemed to storm off like a little child. Really did his company proud.

Great job by the Emotional Engineering Team and Vauxhall for enviting us. Will get some piccies up soon I promise.

Cheers

Good to see everyone on Sat and Sun. Shame about the weather on Sunday tho.
Interesting comments about the Cummins lot as they were in the box as my guests rather than their idea that we were theirs....
Looks forward to the next meet , this time I'll enter the convoy

G'Day Petrol Heads,

What a great weekend, even if I missed Sat with the Wedding.

Many thanks to Stu Harris for inviting us into the Cummings Hospitality Box, (sorry your Box Stu) Great to see you again.

Also a big thankyou to Allen, Julian & the E-E Team for making us very welcome, especially when they had a lot happening with the car.

Look forward to following the car next Season and seeing it improve with development to show it's true pace as it did on Saturday.

Good luck E-E for 2005 !

GO MONARO !
