Xmas Break Meet

[JTsp33d]

Looks like there was a good turn out, a good mix to. Will have to keep my eye on the forum for the next one.

Looked like a good run, still gutted I missed it despite the chilly weather but it appears i was destined not to do it.......

When I finally got home this morning my 'daily' wouldn't start and as that is blocking the garage door I wouldn't have been able to get the Monaro out for the run anyway!!

[Craikeybaby]

That was a great run out - thanks Chris for leading it. I'll have to have a good look at a map to try and work to where we went, but there were some great roads interspersed with some I recognise. I'm glad I braved the salty roads for it - I need to give the MR2 a good wash tomorrow!

I've stitched together a time lapse from the GoPro on the front of my car: https://youtu.be/8Cg2-t7hk8o

I also got this photo at the cafe stop:

I can't believe my car looks clean in that picture. When I got back my wife thought I'd been off road

I'm sure it must the the aerodynamics - as it didn't look that dirty at the cafe stop, but looked a lot dirtier than other cars after. Great to see a GT4 being used properly though.

Craikeybaby - I'll PM you a route later hopefully though there's plenty more to explore up there when we get a chance!

Happy New Year to you all & happy car cleaning for those who've not done the deed yet....at least it's a bit warmer now!

It's good to be centre of attention in that shot Lewis thanks .

I've reposted onto my Instagram anyway. Hope you don't mind as I have credited you.

No worries, I figured it must have been you by the volume of M3 in your feed.

C'mon boys, you should know better than we'd have the cars sat in the garage or one the drive over the hols with relatively empty roads to explore/enjoy.

I'm did contemplate a bank holiday Monday quick run out (& I still am) but I don't think the weather is expected currently to be quite as warm (yes really). Howeve, if you fancy a 'little' run out PM me as I could be easily led astray & the little car is fuelled & sat in the man cave ready for more 'twisties'

PM'd

Anyone else for Monday morning blast?

[MrVert]

Which area are you thinking of Chris?

[RossP]

Might be tempted....

Have PM'd you although it would be slightly further on from where we ended up last time, so more new roads for you to enjoy anyway, but trying to stay off the A-roads as much as possible, including a decent run home! The plan would still be to be back in the Lichfield area for "1-ish"

[Robvx]

This is very tempting any chance of sending me the route please

[MrC986]

We'd be using a lot of the roads previously driven, albeit maybe in a different direction & slightly beyond from Flash although in a smaller group. I'll PM you.

[David.T]

I'm also interested in another run out before work starts again on Tuesday! Please count me in if you go for it

Thanks Chris....but sorry, can't make it now....I've been seconded into a shopping trip......

See you on the next one

[MrFQ]

Any ideas on where we are meeting? I'll be joining from Derby, looking forward to a good drive out!!

[Luke H]

Sorry i didn't reply on this, was laid up unwell for a few days. Hope you had an enjoyable run out.

I'd have come out tomorrow but already have a run arranged with a little gaggle of Lotus.

Will be sure to give you a wave if we see you!
