Nice pics, I'll hopefully have a few later on... however I just want to see if Trackdemon is the pro photographer that he's cracked up to be.... let's see how good the one of the two joggers turns out to be!?!

And as runs go, that was highly enjoyable... NSX, 996TT, 355, DB9, 348, and 360CS are a pretty good mix of cars to have filling the front windscreen and rear-view mirror!!

Had a great run...thanks for the invite !

I would have loved to have seen the faces on the drivers of oncoming traffic as then rounded a corner on a single lane country road to be faced with a Lambo Diablo and DB9 approaching at an 'interesting'pace !

Fortunatley both these models are well known for their compact and narrow shapes. Perfect for threading through narrow gaps.

Well done Stu and Tony it certainly had me breathing in and leaning to the centre of the car on occasions as I watched you working those cars....

Not so sure that the jogger's bottoms were any narrower tham the Diablo's though. Hopefully Steve's picture will prove me wrong; fisheye lens required !

As you guys seem to be in the area:

Hows the A120 works coming on? Is it finished yet?

Greg, just opened last Friday I believe (?). If its anything like when the A130 opened then the 'safety cameras' will be out in force.

....sh!t... I hope not as "we" may have showed a tad of over-exuberence on the short stretch of the A120 that we went down!!!... I assumed that it was a stretch of private road as there was absolutely no-one else on it.

Edited to say that on reflection, I don't think we actually did more than 70mph, my speedo's playing up!

Boys boys boys...sorry I couldn't make it this time...did you get my text Steve???

You'll laugh if you see the state of my brake discs so wasn't a good idea coming along, even though Tony would still have had trouble keeping up with me!!

I feel sick now I've seen the state of the motors that turned up, what a bunch of fukin beauties ...next time chaps and I may have a little surprise for ya... T.

Now you understand why I had my cruise control set to 70mph all the way down the A120; better safe than sorry! ()I came over the bridge onto that road on the way up and there was nobody around, so you should be fine. Detector didn't pickup anything either.

Agreed on the walkie talkie's so we don't get lost etc. Its sure interesting watching such big cars being wound down some of the smaller lanes
