Some piccies of random cars. Not too good but others should be better (hopefully)!

Hey all thanks for the run, hi to those that I met byebye

Our little convoy of three certainly took some "interesting" little roads that had me feeling a little nervous at times (puddles, leaves no trouble for the FWD S3 but my little RWD hedgehunter was a bit unsure of it's footing).

Deffo looking forward to my next pistonheads outing, and will try and make it along if something is sorted out for boxing day, got a SELOC outing a few days later - same route we were supposed to take today laugh so may not be able to make it.

Dave/Rich from the S3 - be really grateful if you could let me have copies of the pics you took thumbup

wasted years

On another note. Driving back was fun, minding my own business, driving at sensible speeds when it happened.



A black Skoda a few cars back followed me every time I passed other cars, but still thought it was odd, Seatbelt on Radio off, electrics sorted no worries I thought.

Then the next thing I know he was all over me like a bad smell. yup It was BIB. Like a miget on a urinal I knew I would have to tread carefully. Anyway it turns out he followed me out from almost the car park. and I got a £30 fine for my number plates. So it really was the worlds most expensive breakfast. !!
