NVR 09 Pictures

[Viper_Larry]

Firstly, a THANK YOU to Mich & Suzy for such a great weekend. As always, meticulously planned, great company, great weather and lots of fun. Fantastic to see all the Viper's snaking their way through the Peak District and watching the attention they get going through the towns. Awesome job guys, we loved it. Sorry we had to leave early today, but that means I get my pictures up first! Some of them are highly processed, but I hope you like them?













Some other pics from the weekend:

looks like im second home wow what another superb NVR event, thanks as always to Suzy and Mich for sorting such a wonderful weekend once again !! Mich and Suzy actually ran the whole run 6 times to make sure everything was perfect and went to plan and ran on schedule. Thanks also to Alison and Bruce for putting on a great lunch at their pub today, the Vauxhall vagabond Pikey for running me around yesterday and Baz today in the blistering ballistic banana and every NVR'er who made the last few days a brilliant experience

loved the fresh bump free tarmac like ribbon on those mountain roads (just like germany) and stunning scenery, the fancy hotel with reserved parking and Alfreds silver service yummy food, Suzy's surprize goody bags and Jennys US flag cakes.

them triple overlaid shot pics are cool VL, make the skies look so moody

What a fantastic weekend we never cease to be amazed at Mich and Suzies N V Runs planned to perfection combining good roads, food, and company 10/10 from Andrew Jenny Terry And Shirley.

Looks like you had a cracking time! (Officially feeling like a knob for not taking a risk on the weather, really didn't know what to do for the best )... Well done Mich and Suzy, looks like you organised a fantastic weekend!
Glad to see everyone had a great time, I am truly glad that I was wrong about the weather...

[ViperDave]

Sorry, but for one thing this would have been a fantastic weekend, and I really have to get this off my chest. The run was too bloody short. Door to door my trip KMomiter reads 799.1 KM, 900m too short Mich!!

Seriously though, a fantastic weekend. Our thanks go out to Mich and Suzy for all the effort they put in to plan and execute a perfect weekend, also to all those that gave them a hand, and everyone for being great company.

Anyway here are some pics

Lets start with the main man up front



And the ladies





Its him again



Bloody traffic, no wonder the Clio wanted to get past



OMG this thing shifts

It just gets better every year! Huge thanks to Mich & Suzy for organising T'Northern Viper Run number 4. Even for us 'regulars' there were surprises - loved the goody bags, Neil's stickers, and Jenny's cakes! The trophies were GREAT too - congrats A & J!

Mich & Suzy, we can't thank you enough for all the hard work and hard miles you put in year after year organising the NVR, we really appreciate it. Thanks also to Bruce at the M & C for another great meal to finish off the weekend, hope you can join us on the drive next time

Hi Guys & Gals, thank you all so much for your great comments, we too had an excellent time, Neil's brummie 'weather god' worked a treat!

We would just like to say thank you to everyone that attended
Chris for engraving the trophies
Neil for donating the 2nd prize
Jenny & Andrew for the stunning Flag cake
My mate Matt for checking the Strines route over for us on the morning
The 3 Acre pub for a great spread

The Brimington Hall Hotel for treating us like they did (They do know who we are!)
Bruce & Allison at the M & C for lunch and superb hospitality

Larry the pics are stunning, and so are all the others, keep em coming, believe it or not we didn't take any!! the only viewing we did were in our mirrors

Well done to the quiz winners Andrew & Jenny, and a 'must try harder' to Terry & Shirley, this year we had a 2nd prize, well done Mary & Nigel.

As NVR 'Virgins' we had a great weekend and my hat goes off to Suzy & Mich for their meticulous planning and attention to detail. Great weather, great company, great venues and great vehicles. What more could you ask for - and an average of just on 24 mpg over the 500 mile round trip.

What's the date for the next one? I need to get my calendar sorted
