Great run.....sorry had to leave early at the Diner.
Impressed with the Clio Sport.

Awesome run, apolgies for skipping at the power station.

Hopefully the second group wasn't too slow with me elading.

Cheers,

MrGTV6 and I had to leave sharpish from the diner too as our early morning passports had expired but I just wanted to say thanks to Mattt and everyone else. Despite the roads being a little busy and greasy it was a good run and no one got lost, so that's always a good sign and as usual we had the exemplary leading skills from Plenty driving. I don't think you were the only one to hit a bunny, there seemed to be a lot of road kill on the route as we passed in the third group. eek

Good turn out and great run today people, thanks as always to the two Matts for organising. Nice to see some new faces. thumbup

I wanted to catch up with the guys with the Alfas but I missed you. I love the GTV6... maybe next time.

Car of the run for me had to be the AC Cobra 212 S/C. What an awesome car. evil

Safe journey home to the guys who came from the Isle of Wight.... good effort. bow Hopefully looking forward to seeing some of the run footage.

Here are a few casual snaps from today.







































If anyone wants photos of their cars removed from this thread please PM me and I shall do so.

What a wonderful way to start a Bank Holiday Monday biggrin

Great to meet a new bunch of PH'ers and thanks to Matt for the run - really nice part of the world.

Going to Chelsea Auto Legends next weekend as the 212 S/C is on display so may see some of you there? Failing that, the old faithful, Sunday Service at MB World wavey

Will keep an eye out for the next run!

I done £80 in petrol and I feel epic, fantastic run this morning loved every min, really nice to be out and about with such a huge range of cars. Hat off to those dedicated enough to set off at 2am from the isle of white and to everyone else who turned up to make it as fun as it was.

Would love to see some video footage of today, but at the same time I hope it dosnt find its way to the public eye lol for example you tube. Not that I or anyone else got a little carried away.

Thanks again to the guys who sorted out the run
