Big thanks to Graham and Sandy clap
cracking drive out lots of noise, lots of cool cars, great bunch of peeps and a good feed to finish off.
Just the ideal way to spend a summers evening.
Nice to meet you all and hope we can do it all again. bounce

Thanks for the event Graham and Sandy, had a great time even if we got lostrolleyes

Still had a great mini run with the five of us, from getting it sideways through the gallaries tunnel
and also getting high from the fumes of the Ultimasmokin

Will have to do it again soon.

Top run...awesome. Thanks to V8S and Mudskipper for organising it.

Also my again apologise to Custardkid for the none appearance of Candy - as Pete said, I ran her home when there was no traffic.

Cheers to Pete as well for letting me passenger with him. Much appreciated and sorry for falling asleep on the way back to Reading.

Next time..Candy will be there, but not sure how she will cope with a) the Bristol traffic and b) some of the very bumpy roads, she only has 83mm clearance..!

Well the ringing in my head has just about stopped now...

Great evening out, thanks go to Graham and Sandy for organising everything and cant wait to do it all again soon. Hopefully we wont get seperated (my fault i know but i'm blaming the dodgy directions!) and will be able to star in the videos next time. Still our mini convoy had a great time and turned a few heads here and there.

Here are a few photos from the two car parks...

Jeez, whilst I recognise the merits of German engineering,
This is the only time I've found myself truly LUSTING after a Bimmer!
Wah-haha!

Easiest is make a torrent and then seed it - bittorrent for example.

For a first attempt at anything like this I think my 1 dodgy direction wasn't too bad (although it was a fairly important one..but could've been worse smile )

I'm just uploading my few pics now..but we might have to wait a while for Grahams video as he's got to convert it from the old fashioned tape.


Whilst doing all the prep work for this run, I did find another 20 bridges/tunnels in and around Bristol, so there is the chance of another run at some point if anyone is interested...and i promise I'll try to keep you out of the centre and hopefully try for lanes without too much manure hehe
