It was a great day out

We enjoyed it very much! Thanks everybody: for organising and for making it happen so well

New people and new...cars met today!

Thanks all for a great day out.

I will try to avoid turning up in an 'inferior' car next time, although i promised that last time and didn't deliver!

Thanks go to Phil and Marise for their organising and successful implementation. Its no easy task so your efforts are much appreciated!

Here's to the next one! (West Wales anyone?)

Hope everyone enjoyed the day.
Hey and lets thank the weather for being kind to us.
There were some amazing views of the Cotswolds, made all the better because it was a bright clear day.

I have a couple of pictures

Just want to thank our helpers on the day who kept the information flowing regarding the convoy.
Liz and Ade our backmarkers and Arit and Brian the middle markers.
If you have never arranged an event like this you won't appreciate just how important the use of walkie talkies is when attempting to keep a large group of cars together.
Might even arrange more next year -

Thoroughly enjoyed my first Alpina outing. Thanks to Phil & Marise for all their hard work. It was great to put faces to names & see some beautiful cars. Looking forward to future events, mmmmm Wales sounds perfect.

What a great day out, fabulous scenery, good roads, great company,
lots of sheep, It was just like Wales......

Must do this again in the new year and maybe I can have a go at sorting
a run out, never done it before but i'm sure I can get a few tips

To echo everybody else, huge thanks to Phil and Marise in organising the day and keeping all the cars together - even with me doubling back.

I'll upload my (fairly limited this time) photos once I'm back from Germany later this week.

Excellent images of scenery and most importantly the Alpinas, glad the weather was kind to you all.
Roll on the next one
