I'd have loved to come and meet some of you but I work alternate weekend shifts and i'll be working on the 6th .... Used my holidays already! 
How are you finding the new cougar ?
Ive stuck a deposit down on a V6 and going to see it at the weekend...

Well, I had a lot of expectations when I bought it and i'm happy to say it didn't dissapoint me. There were and still are one or two bits that need doing but I bought it with this in mind, its a fantastic project to work on. It drives beautifully, feels really solid and has a great prescence on the road. Cougars seem to be a real head turner as there's not many of them about in my experience. Also usually when I buy a new car it takes me a day or so to get used to how it drives and what not but I drove it out of the dealers and up the road and felt instantly comfy in it. I've never had a car that I love so much!
I'm sure there'll be other times.
Might be a baptism by fire, but I strongly recommend Combe, Jack.
It's early in the season, you have plenty of options about how long you stay, (on the day, overnight or the entire weekend) and it's a big meet that includes loads of manufacturers.
Personally it's my favourite meet of the season, with Cougarfest being a very close second. And that's only because Cougarfest requires me to sleep in a damned tent.
Now that is good to hear.
Strangely enough I came into Cougar ownership with no real expectations and came to much the same conclusion!
Aye Backseat, i've owned a few cars now and my firm favorite was the first car I got which was a 1.8 Focus. I loved her until this Cougar came along and stole my heart. Many people comment as I stare lovingly out the front window at her but I know they're just jealous of our relationship 
Now these meets sound fun, personally I wouldn't mind sleeping in a tent, changes things up a bit! .... Though yesterday I decided to see if I could comfortably close myself in the boot of my Cougar and i'm happy to say that I could probably sleep in there if I needed to!
Will deffo be booking some time off to come to the upcoming meets! Will be great to see you all and your vehicles!
