Detailing meet, an apologie and a little sadness..

I must apologise for our early departure, not realising the timescale of the meet we had invited our grand-children to tea so had to depart early and miss the trip to the no doubt excellent Clog and Billycock, I hope our spaces were filled as I now there were other people wanting tables.

I'm also a little sad that some-one decided to declare my 13yr old M5 as "a load of sh*te" to you it may be, to me its a car I've longed for for many years and plan to restore to factory condition as time and funds allow. You are of course entitled to you opinion but it may be better to make sure there isn't someone sitting in the car you wish to make your feelings known about. You sir do the club and membership no service at all.

Take care all and see you soon....

Neil...

every lump of metal parked up has a story - a history with the owner. So be it.... And if any individual comes up with such a comment they are showing an incredible level of disrespect to both the owner and the vehicle. And maybe they should be asking themselves if the club is really the place for them, as Im pretty darn sure the other members of said club would be asking themselves that very same question. NeilB get some pictures up mate and let us see this car. Its your pride and joy and dont let anyone tell ya otherwise.

Ive got an A6 myself as my run around and yeah its seen some miles - nearing 130k and Ill keep it until it dies. Ive had it over five years now and its taken me to Italy Belgium and a few other places aswell as running me back and forth to work. The alloys need attention and there are a few other bits on the body needing done, but hey its got history and its been the family hack for over 75k 

Bought a Z4 as a treat about a year ago and Ive had been to some great meets with the BMW owners club and had some great runs maybe you need to have a chat with that person..... maybe hopefully it was taken out of context as a bit of banter - if not then well its pretty sad indeed.

We should all remember that as members of the club we are all representatives whether we like it or not, any third party hearing someones comments are very likely to take them as the view of the club...positive or negative.
