Many thanks to mr and mrs cg for their kind hospitility. Hope our dogs were not too much trouble. Not quite sure what Stanley had to eat, but he's been farting like a gud un since. That's my boy!
Nice group of folks to spend Sunday afternoon with
Now, some folk will do owt for VIP parking. How can midnight blue be black  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

What a welcome, what a great bunch of people and what a lot of good food
CG toiled away on the BBQ and Mrs CG hosted tirelessly throughout the afternoon and I would like to raise a glass to them for making us so welcome.
The wine in the glass I raise to them comes from the prize for the 'best in show' car competition, judged by the critical Mrs CG and when she announced that 'Lago Grey' had beaten the 'all blacks', well if looks could kill . Obviously a woman with taste

Mr Crabtree, all thoughts go to Aaron
I did bring a LR Experience voucher for you to perhaps raffle somewhere, if you could PM me an address I will send it off.

Thanks again to all that made it good.

It may have been the very classy Lago which was complimented by a "Proper" set of 18" wheels

It must be noted that the RRS wasnt entered in the contest despite me polishing the bonnet for the occasion.

The contest didnt involve colours it was more about general tidyness and condition. Mr Pegleg kindly pointed out any flaws in any cars to Mrs CG.
(apart from the white one, that car was by-passed altogether by the judges )

Mrs CG later took a liking to the ropes and shackles in Tonys boot and decided that he should have won after all  At work
At home

That because she thought it was an ambulance, and was there incase your BBQ skills killed us

Perhaps it was more to do with the 'blue light' that EYorkshire put on top of it  2002 Honda VFR800

As if I would sway the judge I may have mentioned the 'Tonga Green' looked like an army reconnaissance vehicle though

At least that puts it in the same bracket as a 'Defender' - has a useful purpose other than just for 'detailing'  2002 Honda VFR800
