Re: FP traveling from USA to UK
Here are some photos of the event - Clicky
It was a bit grim and overcast, and I seem to have got some rain on my lens at one point. Bah!
I’m pretty pleased with the results though. I may have to tweak the brightness level on some of them as they look a little too grey for my liking.

Hi All.
Frist its thanks to FPs for attending our meet and joining in the fun and laughter. It was memorable day.
I read with interest the photo problem's you guy's had after J&K left. On the way out we stopped and thanked the parking attentend for allowing us all to use the car park, he said, you should have paid to enter..so Jane stuck £20.00 in his hand to keep him happy...shame you did not know this when challenged..
Maybe I should practised my reversing or get my eyes tested soon...what a plonker I felt...I have already sent Dave P.M.
Will add any decent pictures to those already posted.
Cheers
Ken.

Re: FP traveling from USA to UK
Hi All,
really good to see everyone and to meet some new faces yesterday. Pretty good fun all around and the car park time was excellent.
tony and I were wondering what was the problem with the officious woman as we were leaving, she needs to visit my website pretty fast if her hormones are that bad
Actually I am a little disturbed by the fact that John squared it all up with the gateman before we entered and also that Jane gave him money when we were leaving. In that case why did he not speak to her and stop her rant?
Weather on the way home was pretty awful but we all got home in one piece so that is all that matters.
See you all next time!

Ken, you have reversing beep-beep sensors. Ears tested maybe?

Re: FP traveling from USA to UK
I took a few photos in the car park before we all went to eat and drink. I am away from home weekdays so I will PhotoBucket them at the weekend and post some links. I missed all the excitement with the air ambulance. What happened? Did ken back into someone again? Hey Ken, I told you ...no need to pay...I will just use the ammunition from time to time...hahahhaa

[quote=Hairydalek]Here’s Amanda’s film of us leaving Marlow. She had to stop fairly abruptly so she could get to my car before we all headed off to Stonor.
Great Vid there Amanda - considering the horrible weather we still got some awsome pics as well.

The drive through the country was awesome. I'm sure the pics will turn out great. I did not bring my camera cable to load the pictures I took, but as soon as I get home I will share them with you.
Again, I enjoyed the time I spent with you, and thanks for the gift. I will post of pic of it soon. I think I'm going to hit the sack soon. I'm a bit tired now. Oh, don't forget to think of being part of XFi, Crossfire International Car Club.

Our friend FP - It was a great pleasure to meet you and talk about the American Crossfires, and the new developments with XFi. We all enjoyed having you in you in the "UK Crossfire Gang" for the day. You will have noticed that even the English weather could not dampen our enthusiasm for a Crossfire meet - but unfortunately for us, it means we have to do much more car cleaning over here than you!See you next time!
