Post by: ScuttleRX on June 01, 2004, 12:27:43 PM
I stayed there sunday night and we spotted a S-reg black FD in the car pack, mine was parked round the back so you prob woudnt have seen it.

Was it anyone on here?

Yep, that was me!
 We stayed there Sat and Sun. Our room was right over the entrance (near where the car was parked). I was parked round the back too but ran out and moved it as soon as there was a free space, just so I could keep looking at it (sad I know, and after nearly 4 years of ownership!). I also got a few dirty looks on Sunday night and Monday morning cos I kept running to the window whenever I heard a decent exhaust note!
Gutted I missed another FD in the car park but I did spot your car later in the day, very nice mate!

ta mate, yours was looking sweet too, black fds are lurvely! We all parked round back so they were out of public eye, but didn\'t really think things through as we had to spend half hour getting all the tree sap off before we left! Was quite impressed by the hotel,will have to stay there next time if venue stays the same, full english buffet breakfast is a winner every time :) i was the same monday morning, got to see the convoy go by, think they turned around in car park or something as i saw a few come out of it,sounded awesome :D

oh yes, full marks for the breakfast. On the other hand, the carvery in the evening was shite. I\'d have complained about it but they forgot to put it on the bill!
Found a fantastic curry house on the Sunday night that more than made up for it, the yellow one on one of the streets running out from the dock area. Highly recommended.

I went out on Monday morning before breakfast and saw Miguel giving what I can only describe as "passenger laps" of Stratford town centre one way system in the Skyline! Sounded amazing! I got back to our room to be told that "someones exhaust has been keeping me awake". I don\'t think I was supposed to laugh.:D
