18 April Runout (Starts in Herts, ends in Northants!)

[SB - Nigel]

Slow drivers like me and not so fast cars like the Midget to the front please and road rippers to the rear if a paper suggested route is not available

If we have a Google plotted suggested route I'll copy it to paper instructions because that's what we're used to and Mrs Beer enjoys navigating, if I was by myself then I'd borrow a SatNav (that works off it's own batteries as the Midget lacks cigar lighter or outlet sockets)

BTW Spokey gave my wife her PH name and I shall remind her of this on the day

[Spokey]

If people have TomToms, please let me have your email addresses and I'll send you the ITN when it's finalised. I generally provide a couple and decide at the last minute which one I want.

I'm a bit worried that people think this is going to be a hoon ... it's just going to be a nice gentle bimble.

Showoff

We've got 44 bhp at the wheels so with us both on board that makes 22bhp/ton, I can get the full power down

Nothing wrong with a bimble especially on interesting roads in an interesting car

What, like the last one?

At least there will be no slush and ice to contend with (hopefully)

[api330]

I have no problem following the midget or any of the other slightly slower cars, Its about being with like minded peaple and having some fun for a couple of hours not breaking every speed limit out there, Thats not to say i wont be having the odd moment though, I am looking forward to it lets hope the sunshines,

Exactly!

[CarZee]

Car is an SLK32 AMG - will be interesting to see how it compares to the 55

[api330]

Yes looking forward to seeing your car and as you say looking at the differances between the two in looks and perforamnce, Is yours a manual or auto, Mines a auto as you probably know all 55's are auto's but its a great box and really suits the car and its got the paddels as well when your in the mood for giving it the beans,

[Spokey]

Has everyone who wants the ITN files sent me an email? Anyone who wants general directions for manual navigation, can you email me as well?

ETA: As far as I know, I've had emails from CarZee, tom-p and 300bhp/ton.

Sorry folks, because I don't have anyone to lead a wing on this one, I'm going to have to close the cruise to new entries now.

Can I ask people who haven't answered the questions about lunch and part two to please do so by close of business on Monday? If I don't hear from you, I'm going to assume you don't want lunch and you're not coming on part two.

Can I also ask people to reconfirm that you are coming, please?

Count me in still please. But no lunch and part 1 only. Cheers

Hi Spokey, Thanks for the link, I'll be there on Sunday, just waiting for the wife to make up her mind, but it might be too early a start for her. I have TT, prob will stay for lunch and Part 2.

Can you email me so I can send you the itineraries, please?

[plenty]

Hello Spokey, I PM'ed last week. Would be happy to lead a group if that would help.

[Spokey]

plenty, thanks, that's going to help a lot!

Actually, that's a HUGE relief. I don't like wings to be longer than 6 cars, so this just squeaks it in. Whew!

[Spokey]

Actually, I wonder if I could be cheeky and ask if SB might feel like leading a wing of those who fancy travelling at a more (ahem!) stately pace?

Yes but I expect the faster cars will still get in our way

The suggested route will be new to us on the day but we've done a few runs in our time and don't put in too many of our own diversions and as it's a pubs we stop at we WILL get there

Parts 1 & 2, no lunch thanks
