West Kent (near Surrey/Sussex borders)
I suggested a meet before Xmas. Lots were interested. FlowerFred arranged it. And no Brits turned up. Just an Aussie, a Dutch guy, and a couple of Yanks.
Would be nice to have a good lineup of E60s.

Sorry I couldn't make it to the meet in Jan. I found myself over in Canada at the time and couldn't get back in time.

I'm sure we'll all meet up sometime soon. FYI, I'm driving over to Frankfurt to see Iceman and Kigerka on Saturday - should be fun: never met Iceman before... I'm going to retrofit the M5 -/+ paddles onto Kigerka's SMG wheel. Sort of a guinea pig test before making that particular mod available commercially. Hope it'll be good weather for some pics.
All the Best

Talk Of The South still exists as TOTS 2000.
