What an utterly incredible weekend. I am going to bed now as I am utterly, utterly exhausted. See you all again next year (yeah, the buggers talked me into it.... )

No surprise, you worked every minute of the day making that weekend work, and it totally paid off. I think we all had a great time, and that largely due to your sterling efforts. Three Cheers For Rob Schofield, and I'll definitely be back next time...

I wasn't even *there* this year, and I'll join right in with three cheers for Rob Schofield. He's the greatest host. I'm sure the event this year was fantastic, last year's was just wonderful.

Rob,

Both Steph and I would like to thank you bigtime for organising this great event yet again. We had great fun and I'm guessing this was the general feeling amoungst all the attendees.

We will be back again next year, count on it !!

Thanks!

Erlend

Rob, you need an updated avatar picture. I think you might just have the right device now to accomplish that task

And yes, bed for me too, it's 1:30am now.

Hello Rob,

A big THANKS also form the crazy Swiss guy....

After passing 5 minutes the Swiss border, I got a phone call form my girlfried, that she had broken her leg.... So I don't know what kind of vacation we will do after this accident. . I think it will be more relaxed vacation now.

bye

Just want to add to that: Sorry we didn't get the chance to say goodbye in person and to thank you on behalf of Christine, Natalie and myself for a mega weekend, didn't think it could get better than last year....but it could.....and did!
Look forward to next year.

Well as a first timer all I can say is WOW. I'll be back next year for sure. Have to agree you need a new avatar though Rob.

Once again a stellar event! Many, many thanks from both Erin and I. You and your minions deserve much thanks. We'll see you again next year.


For those of you who missed it, next year...get there next year!

It was indeed a huge weekend - and extra thanks to Rob for giving me a chance to practice my ropey presentation skills on a forgiving crowd. Next time I'll remember to turn off shuffle first

Cheers, John

Another great meet Rob, you did yourself proud. It's nearly 1AM, we've just got back and I've got work tomorrow. But there'll still be a smile on my face when I'm in the office (normally very unusual) as I download all the pictures taken this weekend and as I remember what an amazing weekend it was.

Here's to 2005!!!!

Thanks, boys and girls.

Rob, thank you again for hosting such a great meet. As a first time Euro-meet-er, I was overwhelmed with the amount of STUFF we got to see and do. I'll definately be back next year.

But for now, time to pass out, because it's 10pm EST, which my NL-adjusted-internal-clock is reading as 4am. See you in 2005.

Well after 4768 miles I pulled into my drive this afternoon.

Thanks Rob for another great event!!! The perfect end to my trip around Europe, and winning the distance travelled prize was just the icing on the cake (possibe with just a little rule bending )

I only wish the whole community were there to see the look on your face when pca gave you that camera, a truly genuine moment, I hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as we have had out of your events.

I'm looking forward to next year already, but make sure you check over the distance rules with a fine toothed comb as next years trip is going to be even bigger!!! The prize is already on the wall, and no doubt will the a topic of conversation for years to come.

Thanks again.

Cris.

I was mildly upset there was no 'Worst Install' category, I still think I'd have won that.

Hmm.... I would have come along then. I have a large section of dash missing and the empeg sitting in the bottom of a 1.5 DIN sized hole. A piece of solder is twisted through a hole in the dash and wound around the empeg's handle.

Got another car now - how the heck do you install an empeg in an '02 Impala? Seems to have some crappy built in device that actually controls the car's functions. You can get an Aux adapter quite cheaply though. I also have a cop centre console but that would mean mounting it vertically!
