Great day Jim, thanks, had a fantastic blat in the Volvo, shame I had a BW 330 & Boxter in front of me holding me up, LOL but still went well.
You do such a great job organizing these events, that you have my vote to organize the next one if you don't mind?
LOL. I wouldn't say we held you up that much chap, we left you for dead through the twists biggrin

So sorry, I was only joking, but what a fantastic drive we all had, can't wait for the next one, I'll try harder on the bends next time, I was considering my son who was taking a video at the time, and he was getting thrown about some.

PS Simon, loved your car, looks really good following you, and well impressed with how shore footed it was into the corners.

can i just say sir i was behind your beautifull volvo along the morested road in the black citroen c4 and the noise coming out of your volvo was rather nice. i was glad i had my windows down smile
Thanks for that Nick, I did mean to catch up with you at Alverstoke, I did not realise your Citreon was a diesel, I am even more impressed now seeing how well it performed, I guess you have done a few tweaks to it?

It was indeed a great drive, I didn't realize it was your little man in the car too, I bet he did get thrown about holding a camera. My passenger was holding on for dear life.

I too was impressed with how the 330 performed. It just lacks low down grunt.
Your V70R was super quick on the straights, I take it it's been lightly fettled?

You utter utter bds wink

I only live 5 minutes drive away, and as it happens, we went for a walk in Stanley Park (2 minute walk away) that afternoon.

Looks like a damn good turn out, gutted we didnt see you all, would have been a nice surprise on a lovely sunny afternoon.
