Myself, Deekerh (Derek), and Alan all met up today at the Falkirk wheel for our GTG and a great day was had by all. It was a pleasure to meet Derek and Alan and their respective partners / wifes (not sure which sorry), and to see their lovely 190E's. My car is the Nautic Blue 2.0, Derek's car is the Silver 2.5 Diesel, and Alan's car is the Black 2.0. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We even met Santa: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Alan: ![]() Derek: ![]() Sev came along too:

Derek's car is proper lush lol Nice steering wheel with the wooden effect insets, very rare. Alan's car looks gansta, and how the window wiper should be imo, set in the middle. As for Russell's, a nice original example... |

Excellent great pics. And a great vatiation of cars. And you just gotta love that amazing canal lift contraption thing !! Nice to see faces next to the cars too, thats something we often tend not to do for some reason. I am sure I saw santa down in homebase today, how on earth did he get all the way up there ? |

Couldnt agree more Kenny i loved the variation on the cars, each one very different and individual, and it was great to meet really lovely people from here, their cars are a credit to them both as they are lovely. Thats bizarre on Santa, really no idea how that happened Kenny...mind you im sure i could hear a jingle of bells not long after i took that photo so i think Rudolph and Blitzen were close by.....

It was a bit chilly wasnt it mate, hope you got some shopping done afterwards, i think your girlfriend would have persuaded you Its just great to see a handful of 190's in the same place, we attracted a good few looks where we were parked! Was nice to meet your girlfriend and Derek's partner too, both surprisingly into the cars which is always a bonus! |

Really great to meet up with Russell & Allan, a great mix a cars. It was a fantastic venue for our inaugural GTG looking forward to our next one, lets hope we have a larger turn out (sorry you couldn't make it this time Urbanbadger). Two great feats of engineering the 190 & the Falkirk Wheel both built to last for many many years to come.

Will give it some thought Alan, might be difficult to have such a ideal location as the Falkirk Wheel, we have lots of time to arrange a suitable place |

Smashing pictures Derek!! Loved the individuality of both sets of rear lights, worked well with your cars! Didnt actually notice the wood on your steering wheel Derek until someone pointed it out in my photo - whoops! Looks good! We can all get our thinking caps on for the next GTG and im sure between us we will come up with something good! Looking forward to it. Edited by Russell, Mon Dec 15, 2008 7:53 am.

Superb effort fellas, great to see 3 really varied cars! The Falkirk Wheel looks amazing, I like to see things like that plonked in the middle of the countryside... Derek, it's stunning - but I think that 16v Side Skirts would really, properly finish it off - the rear apron is 16v, isn't it? You could even consider 16v Arch lips, they'd match up well with that front bumper

Thanks Neil, the rear is a 16V not sure what type the front bumper is as nothing stamped on it, need to get the lamps wired up with main beam circuit. I am planning to fit some arches have attempted to acquire some on the site but missed out or people dont want to spilt up a complete body-kit (which I can understand), am sure I'll get a set in the near future. Not too keen on the skirts though. |
