Too many people over a wide spectrum and not truly fanatical about the marque, just a load of keyboard warriors.

We used to do early morning runs with the lotus club and pretty much everybody would turn up.

Lots and lots of BMWs.....surprising really!

The X5 looks great and stands out even in that crowd.  Loving the last picture of the 3 series.  Guess the word detailing is banned at his house.  :P

Oh dear.....never mind.  At least you stayed warm.  It was freeeeeezzing in London Docklands!!

Should have allowed Raj to organise it.  He's have had us all riding shotgun in 'X' cars to keep everyone in their places..... :)).

X's make good shepherds as most 'little BMWs' get scared if they step out of line and find one of us looming in their mirrors or alongside!! :P

Oh well I guess it was more of a big meet then.

Had heard about this over on EvoT but still didn't think much of it for what it was intending.

@Richard - I'll see if I can organise everyone on the 27th April for the Cosford meet to get a convoy from J3 to J2 and probably be more of a success...lol

Sounds like a plan.....

It's just possible 'Peanut' may be earlier than planned so depending upon how things go, I might, or even we might try to get there at least for part of the day.....
