RE: [doc] Derbyshire meet up.



Chris,

Whilst I appreciate the thanks, I think they were meant for Richard
Hutchinson!  I was away in Ireland this weekend in the Delorean, so was
unable to attend.  My trip which went very well (more later) and I had the
opportunity to meet Thomas McAuley and his car, and Alistair McCann.  Thanks
to them for a very pleasureable day out!

Glad the Derbyshire trip was a success.  Reccomend a bypass via Crich next
time - you'll arrive at the favourable side of the lights at Cromford and
straight into Matlock Bath ;-)

And...

750miles in four days without fault!!

Cheers all,
Richard Hanlon
