For those poor souls who can't be at the Cambridge meet today (by now, they'll be getting stuck into the beer, I bet), but who happen to be in the bay area... anyone fancy a beer and/or food this evening?

Hm. I'm in San Jose with friends recording some stuff. I'm done with my parts for the day. Perhaps. Where exactly are you?
Heck, my friend Jeff might want to meet you, he works at Apple these days too...
I'll PM you with my cell number.

It was rather sedate. One photo of the four of us exists on Music's (Mike) camera.
Highlight was after the pub- having a look at Mike's new Elise! Tony even got a ride.
/me so jealous.

It was rather short notice- I barely caught Hugo before he walked out the door.
I say we get a little more organized for the next one- say an Empeg Pumpkin Run to Half Moon Bay for the Pumpkin Festival?

Glad they are enjoying the light gun.

Pictures. First picture. Mike's Lotus Elise has an interesting feature that graces the black plastic cowling surrounding the lens-like European high intensity headlights. Anyone want to guess what caused these seemingly random arc-shaped marks in the plastic? No cheating, don't Google. Hint: American Lotus owners are more likely to encounter this problem than English Lotus owners...

Does it have something to do with dentistry?

Does that say "GROUT EXPACTATIONS"?
What is the world coming to when you can't even find good spelling in pub WC wall graffiti?
If I had known the WC was such an attraction I would've paid a visit.

Can't get the US/UK reference, is it done by a carwash?

Ooh! That's a good guess. The US is much more southerly than the UK -- in the arena of 1000 miles; maybe the angle of the sunlight has something to do with it.

Something to do with replacing/upgrading headlights, perhaps? Not sure how that would be regional, though.

There's a flare from the camera flash that seems to be focussed directly on the most marked part of the black plastic as well, which might be a clue... Of course, I could be totally wrong and maybe it's short-sighted raccoons trying to steal the lenses to fashion into rudimentary spectacles... we don't have raccoons over here!

Except in Leicestershire, apparently.

That's easy...we have Wal-Mart and the UK doesn't. That was clearly caused by a Wal-Mart shopping cart.

Can't think of much in America that we don't also get in the UK these days apart from bright sunlight
DING. We have a winner.
Fascinating, huh?

Would you believe I was going to say we don't have many raccoons... shoddy research, I apologise

Really! So, it's probably likely in the LA area this car could light it's self on fire?
That is just too weird...
