I'm not going to be able to make this now. Our family have tested positive for Covid and now have to self isolate..... :?

Hope you all have a good night - don't forget to take a load of photos....

P.S. If anyone wants a ticket.....
Hope you and the family are ok.

Thanks Guys. Symptoms haven't been too bad, manly cold symptoms, headaches etc. The kids were both really tired. I still can't believe we've all got it, was quite a shock tbh.

Anyway, look forward to the pics and hopefully I can make the next one. :-)

I spoke to C&M lunchtime and they said I could defer my ticket to next month, so we'll have to do it all again. :-)

Had a great time meeting old and new faces and cars tonight. Missed a few late arrivals in these pics unfortunately. Look forward to doing it again soon.

Great night tonight, and nice to put a few more faces to cars and forum names. Perfect weather too. Just got in, tired but grinning! Hope to see you all again soon. Really pleased that Sam brought his B5S Touring 1 of 1 along, with me and Cook too that's 3 of the 4 total E61 Alpina Tourings in the same place for the first time

More photos to follow.

Great to catch up and didn't get wet.
Certainly an impressive line up of Alpinas and they had plenty of attention.
Brilliant images both.

Were they forum members or had they just turned up on the night? Would love to see some photos of them, I'm so disappointed I couldn't make it.

Yep it's Kevin. He did admit to being quiet on forums but fair play. Not sure who the sartorini blue e92 belongs to...

You're welcome Sam, really glad you could make it and hope to see you again. Your B5S was looking great.
