I am sad that you can't make it, but another CPF meet at Spring Break sounds great.

Sorry guys, not going to make it. Clare's car wouldn't start this morning -10 degrees C, so she has taken mine. It's a bit far to walk!

Have a great time and take loads of pictures.

Cheers - Pete.

I think I might buy a return ticket just incase TX101 gets stuck in the snow.


Dave - sorry you won't be there, rest up, take care.

Just had to go rescue my folks who were returning from Richmond and got stuck on a hill on the A30.. RWD+wide tyres+traction control dont do so well in the snow.

Also had to dodge some moron who was going too fast round a corner while i was walking back, he bounced off the kerb on other side of the road and then came straight at me! Our eyes locked as he just missed me. :duck:

Hope you all got home ok..

Had a good time and finally got home at 1. My car was great on the snow but I had to sit behind all the rear wheel drive cars sliding all over. Got to the hill just past Legoland and there were abandoned cars all over the place at the bottom. The three cars in front of me only made it a third of the way up the hill before they had to come back down. Even a 4wd didn't make it. I sailed up without even spinning the tyres. He may have twice as much traction as me but when his car weighs 4 times as much.... I was temped to turn around at the top of the hill, go back down and do it again just to show off but just decided to laugh the rest of the way home instead.

Lets make sure the weather is OK next time :D

Took me four hours to get home ... lost count of how many BMWs and Mercs I got stuck behind.



I think I can safely say BlueLEDs DBS R2 ez900 is the King of throw ... most impressive :thumbsup:

Thanks to Lee, I managed to play with an Arc 6, now Im even more desperate to get one.

Nope it was me at 3am walking back down my road after TX101 dropped me off.

A great night out, followed by the most epic drive home. I've never pushed so many cars in one night.

Many thanks to TX101 who went out of his way to drop me home.

It's was really good to see you all again and chat lights and life.

Looking forward to the next meeting, without snow please.
