Ian_C Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Excellent meet! Just like April, a wonderful turn out. Even more impressive considering the sun was well and truly hidden being the clouds for the duration. Didn't make for the greatest photography, but I shall post a few of the highlights tomorrow. Shao, our master and founder, will consult us all over the coming fortnight or so with regards to making Milton Keynes monthly again over the summer. Judging by tonights positive atmosphere I can see the next meet being Wednesday 4th July. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techieboy Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Yeah, great meet (and meat). Followed up with a nice open top blast back home. Found that keeping above 80 leptons prevented any water ingress problems and what a difference the Xenon HID conversion plus X-treme Power bulbs made. It's hard to believe I actually found a car with even worse standard headlights than my old B6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Your HIDs are great! Nice drive home indeed. Noticeably less traffic than normal due to being that little bit later after trying to find Shell V Power. Just off to Sainsbury. Will edit photo's when I get back. Hopefully stiggy will open me a new album tonight. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 <font color="red">June MK Meet Album</font> Thank you once again everyone for your support. June gave a thoroughly warm welcome to newbies Anthony in the Jabba Beetle and Peter in the S4 Avant. Techie and KG Man didn't quite get the same greeting at their respective first meets: In fact, it's a wonder they weren't scared off for good! Photographic feedback welcome. Complete lack of sun throughout the entire evening made things a bit slow. Tripod would have helped for the later night shots, but Techie would have probably grabbed it and battered me round the head with it! Cheers for your patience though Matt - I'm pleased the results.

nikw Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hey, great meet everyone! Too many people and not enough time to speak to everyone (nice to be able to say that), but hopefully I did at least say hello to all. I was so busy talking that I completely missed rides in the VX and S3. Maybe next month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 [ QUOTE ] so busy talking that I completely missed rides in the VX and S3. Maybe next month? [/ QUOTE ] Definitely. Hopefully the sun will decide to stick its head out next time and make it even more enjoyable..... Have a great Le Mans Nik and see you next month.

techieboy Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Top pics there, Ian. I'm really surprised the snaps of Shao's S3 through the rear window came out as clear as they did (the VX not being the most stable photographic platform ever invented). Also surprised those shots as we bore down on the bikers didn't have more sensation of speed, it was 100+ leptons at that point. Still it woke them up as I suddenly appeared beside them Loving the night shots as well, that Shell garage has great lighting for night shots like that. Love the total blackness in the backgrounds. Wouldn't mind a copy of those in full resolution! Good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Have to confess the first two 'driving' pics (21 & 22) were actually taken whilst standing still, waiting to pull out the car park, hence the relative clarity. The one from the VX looking backwards at the S3 straddling both lanes was taken on a flat straight section. Seem to recall just wedging the camera against your head rest for stability and trying to make the most of the opportunity. A situation like this is one of the many reasons why I prefer my IXUS to an SLR. The baby Canon is quick to react and flick between settings. A heavy SLR would have been useless in the confines of the VX interior, trying to shoot backwards over my right shoulder with a seatbelt on. 'A contortion act' as Techie himself joked in the car park afterwards! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hehe, that is a seriously tacky picture of me and my Golf! Soz I couldn't bring the Audi this time chaps, I had to bring the Golf so that NikW could do a VAGCOM to try and diagnose an annoying intermittent fault, so big thanks to Nik. Even more annoying than the fault itself was that there was no fault codes found (aside from a couple of unrelated ones), and we are talking about 'Engine Workshop!' on the dash here. Jeez.. Anyway, should be bringing the A6 next time so that gives me plenty of time to get her ready. Was a good turnout again, plus it was an honour and a pleasure to meet our master and founder . As before, the company, the venue, the food and the drink were all top-drawer and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. That W12 was truly awesome in the flesh and made me extremely jealous! See ya next time chaps! (hopefully monthly in the future). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Tone_ Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hey Guys some good shots there - quite liked the one called V-Power! When is the next meet - I am hoping it may be the 11th as I am in Wales on the 4th which is a bummer!! Cheers Tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Highly likely to be the first Weds as ever, following tradition. A permanent swap with Midlands though is an option. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
