Nice pics John. Work commitments kept me away.......

I haven't seen a Mk1 Astra GTE for years. Is fuel economy keeping the silver beastie at home?

btw John ...just for curiosity ...what are the temps like over there???

How long into the year do the meets continue??
....it's fast approaching fall over here, sun goes down at about 730pm and the evenings are around 15c ....the cruising scene is just about over [|)] (man, I HATE WINTER)

Ron.

[john 215]

Hi Ron,

Much the same as over your side as the pond, very similar temperatures and the evening's are drawing in and gets chilly once sun goes down, we seam to have constant showers everyday [:(]

The meets go on through out the winter, been down in February before driving through sleet to get there. As you know we get taxed to the max over here [:(!] so a lot of people take there cars off the road during the winter and dont tax them, so the numbers drop but even so not uncommon to get a car park full. I am lucky London Village is only 30 miles away so perfect for a midweek eve out.

Cheers John
