Virginia Waters All Marques Meet - 5th February

5th February 2006

The event is being organised by some of the gang over on www.pistonheads.com and has been a huge success in the past. The idea is basically a post winter meet for all car enthusiasts and so far the sign up list includes anything from a Diahatsu YRV Turbo and a Ford Focus through to Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Murcielago! The day involves meeting up at Virginia Waters and admiring the metal on show as well as chatting to like minded enthusiasts.

The following thread has instructions on how to get to VW and the location:

and this one has a list of attendees so far:

Hope to see some people from MINI2 down there

So are you driving down from Nottingham v15ben? Maybe we can meet up on your way down and I can show you the way. There's some brilliant roads on the way there.

I live in Slough. Virginia Waters is near Windsor which is next door to Slough. About a 20min journey for me.

I believe it's about 10am but check the threads on Pistonheads to see what time everyone's getting there. Links at the top of the page.

No worries, see you there. Look out for the classic bright yellow TVR and we won't be far away from it!

OK pics are in my Gallery.

Highlight of the day, this Ferrari which my girlfriend took great pleasure in pointing out his tax disc was out of date. Idiot!

Oh dear, well like I said I'm sure we'll meet on another run or track day or something! I did cruise past about an hour after we left but the car park was looking very empty by that time.
