This looks like quite a nice, tidy number for an early run. Perhaps room for 1 or 2 morebut then we'll close it down and I'll send out the route.

[burriana]

Ending with somewhere that does breakfast?

Don't think you were with us Ben but the Wellington at Darley does a fine full breakfast with tea/coffee and orange juice for about £7

Nope, wasn't there for that one. We will absolutely, positively, definitely do that though

[FlauM]

Looking forward to this one

Me too. Can't decide which car to bring though. Just bought an E39 Sport and am enjoying blasting it around. Could be fun.

Love the look of them

[benjj]

It is my 4th E39, I went 528i SE, M5, 525i Sport and now 530i Sport.

They feel like they're hewn from a single massive ingot of metal. So solid but don't feel particularly big when hustling along.

M5?! Lucky sod!!

Yep, used it as my daily snotter when I lived in London

My drive was 9 miles from Blackheath to the city. Over 8 months I averaged exactly 9mpg and 9mph

Traded it in for a Porsche 996 Turbo. The M5 was by far the better car (not saying the 996 was cack, it wasn't)

I miss my old life!

9mpg? Wow I thought my 30'ish was bad. What's the m5 like torque wise? I've never driven one you see. Infact I've not driven many cars ha

[benjj]

Bags and bags or torque but the main appeal was how fast and easily it revved for a large capacity V8.

God I miss that car.

Looking forward to meeting you on Sunday

Should be a good 'un if the weather stays dry. Will close off attendees on Tuesday and then email out the route.

Quick poll for those coming:

1) 50/50 open and fast vs tight and twisty

2) 75/25 fast vs twisty

3) 75/25 twisty vs tight

[C3BER]

I will chug at the back as usual so I'm ok on anything as long as its fast and fast.

[benjj]

Am considering something starting around Menwith Hill at 6.30 and getting back to The Wellington in Darley at 9am for full English (for those that can stay).

Will have the mandatory 2 pint flask of mental espresso available for a mid-hoon stop too. Will give C3BER chance to gaffer up any parts of his car that have fallen off

Also new for Yorkshire PH Hoonery in 2013 will be the Fly Swatter Trophy. at the start of each hoon everyone has to clean their front number plate to perfection. The one with the largest number of kills at the end walks away with the cup until the next hoon.

[Oily Nails]

Option 2 gets my vote. Fast and twisty.
Nothing too tight, E89 can feel a little wide even though she's agile....or that might just be the driver!

Shaping up to be a good day!

[FlauM]

Option 2 gets my vote too. Anyone else bringing their wife? Lol

I'm not but they're always welcome.

[FlauM]

She's my excuse for the car not keeping up
