I've enjoyed reading the reports from everyone this week, good stuff Â
Now for mine ....
The weekend started in fine style as I joined Windy,Dirty,Steed and Vienna on the Saturday night pre meet drink.Top man for arranging this Windy.
The day of the meet started for me by meeting top wheelman Parker and getting ourselves over to Hammersmith sharpishÂ
for a very nice breakfast in the local Spoons. This really sets the day up nice and I was pleased to see about a dozen squadÂ
show up for it.
Time to get back to that hallowed turf that is Colet Gardens for the start of the first 4:3tv meet - The Sweeney.
The meet and greet hour absolutely flew by. It was a good chance to see the fine Squad Cars on offer and to catch up with everyoneÂ
on this operation including the chance to finally meet Steve Austin after a couple of years.
10AM .. It was time to stop hanging around like a motorway breakfast and get on with the job in hand , so myself and Davy Freeth joined Carter in his fine Wolseley 6/110 Squad Car
and get ourselves over to  Kibbers Gaff pronto for a spot of surveillance.Â
Back on the road we worked our way through some great Sweeney locations which i had never been to before, Young Haskins house, Brenda and Faye's, Carter's gaff and Stan Proctor's meeting place. I couldn't pick a favourite out of these as they were all good.
I agree with Athene Noctua's earlier point about our convoy looking good as we threaded our way through South London.
A pint or two and some Jockey's Whips topped my tank up enough for part two of the meet.
This part of the operation saw us walk through Holland park to where Regan meets Ronnie Brent and past Harry Pooles yard in a
very nice street of mews houses.
The last two locations of the day were the car swap location from Selected Target at Kensington Olympia Station
and the Court House where Johnny Lyon stands on the steps.
This meet was wrapped up very nicely indeed with a meal at the Queens Head followed by Stan reading a speech written by
The Saint and finally by Micks great quiz.Â
All in all a great start and the first of many meets for us.Â
I want to thank Gene for being a great draughtsman and drawing up an enjoyable meet, also to Sam and the Saint.
My Thanks to...
Parker who offered to be reserve driver for the day and for taking me to and from the meet.
Carter for piloting us round the locations on the day.
Mickyosan for the photographs.
Mick for all his hard work on the Quiz.
And to all the squad for being very helpful in the organising of the cars beforehand and for being great company.
Here's to the next one.
