I think there were a grand total of 4 ForFours there including mine and Nanak's.

Ah...one that didn't say they were going to attend  :-[
But well done anyway.  At least 4 managed it, which is
something I guess.  I'm thinking that if it had been a Sunday
then perhaps a few more might possibly have made it.

i only saw 3... yours mine and another member's (couldn't miss him he was TALL!!!)

when i turned up i felt out numbered being the only forfour there. it was a good day out but a shame that more forfours didn't show. i did get some owners commenting on my forfours colour combo

Poor excuse...most local supermarkets have hand car washes...
or in the local vicinity... that are manned by 'ex' Eastern Europeans
that will do the lot (outside for £7, or full valet for £12) in just 15 to
20 minutes or so.  Far far less time than it would take you or I to do it.

OK...enough of the light hearted comments now....
no harm was intended or infered...apologies if any were taken.

TBH I'm proud that the 4 of you represented us all at the meet....
and I think that underneath it all, we acknowledge that.
