Faces behind the names - thats us!

Postby kitty55 on Wed 2nd Dec 2009, 08:44pm

hi guys! someone mentioned a few days ago it would be nice to be able to put faces to the names of the organisers next year so i thought ill have a look through my billions of mini pics and actually found photos..here we are...

thats me, kitty AKA andrea, last year just arrived at nurburgring and dead happy about it:

Image

im a big RW fan and like my glass of jager...lol

thats my mini robbie:

Image

hes purple and thats actually the best bit lol...

thats the other one of us, splinter AKA simon:

Image

its highly likely to find him with a bottle of evil vodka (yes i remember this year still quite well, it was awful :wink:)..i do hope hes gonna come on the run in his current mini cos thats seriously a brilliant car and fairly quick...

splinter i do hope you forgive me posting this pic without asking you beforehand, but the rest i had of you was more or less useless...

so thats more or less it...and as we said if you have any questions just ask anytime :D

Cheers for that Kitty lol

That must have been the first night cause thats still the good stuff not that rubbish we had to drink the next day! Fairly late on as well cause i don't remember you getting that photo so that must be the second bottle we had. Oh good times.....

note to self take more vodka especially if Kittys about

i think that was actually the last night last year and i guess you got good vodka somewhere around the ring LOL...haha yeah and i might have had one or maybe one more glass of your vodka, true...thanks splinter :wink:

hehe, what was wrong with "VERY fast"? your mini is very fast - when you were taking me out in your car this year round the campsite i thought we would take off cos it was really fast..honest :D

Are you sure? That must be a pretty good fake vodka bottle then :lol:

It is not "very fast". Quick yes, but fast no! It just felt that way cause you're not used to it. I do hasten to add the drive WAS NOT around the campsite but the roads around the campsite area!!
I don't think the owners would really appreciate us thrashing round the site :wink:

Good choice of photo Jan. Points out the fact that it doesn't always rain at the Ring! Shame it's ruined by Compo in the background. Now just need to find Clegg :lol:

Oh, and this is one of our German friends we met..........
