Dropping in an induction kit in...

Should be good! I used to have a ZS180 and always thought the V6 deserved to be a little more vocal.

Fingers crossed for good weather.

Love that F40 and SLR photo on your Flickr page CarreraKid. Awesome work!

Never realised you were such a keen photographer Tom. Will have to pick your brains at the meet, I need a crash course in car photography!

Was going to try and lure my boss out again. He has a 911 of the same sort of vintage as yours and has been tantalising all of us by parking it outside the office recently. Livens up the car park.

The hoon looks awesome. Some of those roads are pretty narrow, though, so before recceing and taking down pace notes please bear in mind that if you can't see round the corner there could be a tractor or an early morning dog walker stood there.

Hey UH-Matt, as you both left, the engine sound made Matthew (my little boy) cry. Poor little dude.

Lamborghini, making babies cry since 2011.

Something else happened to me. Was embarrassing

Chris is on a driving tour of Spain at the moment.

Unfortunately, he's already lunched his Chim engine's bottom end. (Seriously bad news) and destroyed one hire car.

If he manages the rest of the journey without killing his second 207 hire car, we'll set something up for the end of May, early June.

We didn't quite destroy the 207, it developed an intermittent engine fault...

The current-gen Polo we had after that was much nicer. That survived all the way to Bilbao and we were given a 107 to go from Portsmouth to London. The latter was actually quite a giggle with a little three cylinder engine that sounded like half a Porsche flat six. It wasn't that quick in the higher gears, though, don't think I lifted off for the whole of the A3...

Deciding what to do about the Chimaera: simply fix, fix and upgrade the engine or possibly even sell.

Nope. It might not even be coming back. It's sat in the workshop of the only TVR specialist in Spain and they're desperate to find cars to convert to LHD, so I might drop them a line to see if there interested...

Sooooo when is the next gathering in May going to be arranged?

As I said anticipating it!

Blib!

(I don't even have a car to bring along now )
