Toyota Factory Tour

[JMRussell]

Fairly certain I registered using this link http://events.lexusownersclub.co.uk/events.php but never received a PM though the screen at the time said thanks for registering or something like that. If I go to the page at the moment it shows me as having to click to unregister????

However, it appears I'm not on the list so shan't be there.

Hope everyone has a great day and yes there are some great pubs around for lunch

I had to Fax toyota the list of names.

[Loz]

err... Steve

You e mailed me to confirm I was coming. So I consequently made arrangements to be available tomorrow so as not to let you down. Are you telling me that was a waste of my time and paid holiday?

*Loz is sincerely hoping not to have to go to the fridge and open a fresh can of whoopass!!* :tsktsk: :tsktsk: *

[Loz]

Fridge door remains closed. a great trip made even more enjoyable by the company of so many Locers and Tocers... great cruise down to the lunch venue...

Cheers Steve!

Shame about the rain but better to get it out of the way for the weekend!

Whooopee! JAPS, here we come!

[GRiM]

Sorry Mat, but therefore boring, exiguous, confusing and irrelevant to the rest of us....

Hope you all enjoyed your day... :)

[wildrnes]

[carlgolsby]

Hello all

what a great day, I wanna see those photos folks! :D

It took us 4 and a half hours to get back (damn M25! :tsktsk: )

re: pokeoke they must get seriously hacked off with 'greensleeves' etc :iraqi-info-minister:

dawesy, we only got to go round the corolla assembly area

[Steve]

took me 4 and a half hours to carl..

i was verrrryyy pee'd off with the traffic!

[MsW]

Yup,

Super day, thanks to the organiser(s)

Great to see everyone, and what a lovely place we found to eat

Took us 3 hours to get back - Friday afternoon traffic, always the same.

What did we do before mobile phones..... had to get my son picked up from school and looked after for a couple of hours while we fought our way up the M1

At least we went up the A50, and not the A38, hey, Loz??

[ifraz]

I had a wicked time at Toyota. It was really interesting to see how it's all done. Thanks to Steve and everyone else for putting this together. Great to see many familiar faces and some new. Hope to see you guys again soon. :)

Poke Oke...Mat stop sniggering

BTW, it took me 40 min to get home :P damn traffic

[Monster-Mat]

is there any pics of this blatantly splendid day

[MsW]

is there any pics of this blatantly splendid day

There were many cameras there - just got to have a spare couple of hours to upload the damned things.

Grrrr wish I had broadband

(poke yoke....... poke yoke....... sorry, moderator, please delete, that's an in joke........)

[Loz]

MSW,

I saw the lorry lying on its side and I think it must have been japanese cos every few minutes I swear I could hear Beethoven's Furelise (spellcheck)....

I got back in good time after I had called in to drop the kids off at the pool. Great to meet some new faces and see some cool cars! Don't know the name of the guy who drives Carlos Sainz's old car but he was cool. Jerry, always a pleasure, Ryan, I still got love for the MR2, that nose cone is as wicked as the plate!

Steve, cheers for clearing up the mystery of the names on the List.

Ps. Anyone wondering if the Landlord's windows are still open?

Loz :zee:

[Steve]

Loz

I went up to the landlord and said "your window is open mate" he said "yeah i know"

I said "well just to let you know that we are all having a laugh at your expense"

great meet.. thanks to those who kept their word and arrived.

those who did not turn up without notifying me wont get any more offers from me. plenty of times i warned to notify!

[ricky_is200]

A great day, and nice to meet everyone again. Thanks for your hard work arranging it Steve.

[TonyGoose]
