Evening all, great day today!! Weather was fantastic, driving was awesome! Big thanks to jim and neil, once again arranging a fantastic day!! Sorry to my group, I think we were pretty close but not together for the majority but all that left arrived!

I don't know if it was stills or video being taken out of the 4x4 on the M27 sliproad but if I can have a look either way, I'd be eternally greatful!

Anyone found out what happened with the bike on the road to moorestead? Had the hazards at the ready for a minute...

Also, thanks to the Clio in front, helped me put the 205 through it's paces and find out what more I've got to do!!!

Nice to meet people today, and meet there cars (Allan F150HD - awesome)

Can't wait for the next one!

Thanks to the organisers, it was an awesome route. Lots of nice metal out today, particularly enjoyed chasing Fatboy18 (I think) in the Viper, even if my car is a little more stonechipped than it was yesterday.

Favourite engine noise of the day was the Yellow Porsche (GG33) i think. When it pulled into the services it sounded awesome. That was on tick over.

Sounds even better at full chat Love that car.

Gutted I missed this. Looks like a fantastic day.

Well done to the organisers. Had a very pleasant day, and really enjoyed the drive!

F@*k me, Jess and I have only just got in and i only live 10 miles from the end point. Neil.d said "follow me back to the M27" and thats where we went wrong!!!!

Thanks to the guys in my group (3 Evos and a T350) pleasure to drive with you, shame we got beaten ever so slightly by the Aston and Lambo gang.

Was a great sight at the start, and at the end. All that gleaming metal in the sunshine and i have to say Diz and Doorman did have the shiniest of them all. Doorman you have clearly been removing your exhausts to get them looking that good.

Glad the parking worked well, the little enforcement man was there with the key as the Aston pulled up to the gate. It was a nice touch!

Best bit was that nothing got bent or damaged.

Someone else can organize the next one, unless you want me to. If so email me with suggestions for the end point. Parking and food essential.

See you all soon.

Jim & Jess (and Marlee, who now has a PH coat, will post some pics soon)

Wow, if I can figure a way to get them pipes off, then they will really shine LOL
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?

Was really good to stretch the cars legs today, and what a fine day it was!

Met some great people and had some good chats, and saw some fantastic cars.

Thanks all, can't wait for another...have developed sticking tappets problem after the event though...sounds like a bucket of bolts!

We noticed some puffs of smoke through the twisty lanes, couldn't find you at Lee to come speak to you about it.

Hope you get it all sorted and see you at the next one!

Great meet and great weather!

Thanks especially to Fraser for hanging back enough to let me see where to turn a couple of times when I got stuck behind traffic (I think someone stuck a traffic-magnet to the front of my car...)

You did make some great noises when you dispatched the offending slugs. I was in the black Civic that came sailing up on your bumper on Morestead Road then you got a break in the traffic and disappeared

As said by many.... excellent day peeps!!! looking forward to the next event!!

Does any one know the story behind someone overtaking some bikers and endin up on the green stuff on the opposite verg??? well held though! could of been very messy!
Thanks to the volvo / clio /205 for warming the pace,

Lovley day = burnt neck ,well worth it!

I was in the Clio with gold wheels, my mate in the other Clio Williams (with black wheels) was Arj256. He made to go to overtake slower traffic. Apparently as he was doing so he saw the biker in front start to pull out as well as e started to pass them, so he put it on the grass to avoid a clash. Arj is a good driver, took it in his stride. I saw it from back up in the convoy.
