145 miles, half a tank of V-Power and my trip computer shows 21.5mpg!

Usually I get 220 miles to a tank and it tells me 18mpg... so i'm happy to have half a tank left since I wasn't exactly hanging around either.

When's the next run?

Tomorrow?

Missed Saturdays one as I was working on breaking my mx5 which i succeded in.

Keen for a blat tomorrow afternoon though as the mx5 should be fixed by extremely helpfull garage round the corner and if not, could always take the corolla.

I'm off tomorrow as well (good news since I thought I would be working ) so could join you.

Could meet at the same time/place? (11am/Makro?)

Eta ok would have to be afternoon obviously...

Sounds good and i'm off work but have a few things planned. I'll check this thread in the morning and if it's on and I have a spare hour or two i'll pop along for a bit.

Fantastic video!

I won't be able to make tomorrow, I am turning 20 so I predict I will probably be in the pub all day! Have a good run though.

I'm sure they probably wouldn't mind someone tagging along too!

Yeah, that's the one!

great to meet a few more people. interesting having a version of your own car chasing you up a mountain road with 300 bhp more than you!! that little B road we ended up on wasn't the plan but the 20 car 3 point turn was quite a site to see! I was really gutted the car wouldn't start as i was enjoying the drive. However can't be breaking tradition by haveing a run without a breakdown.

I think theres still space on the karting run if anyones interested theres a good road run beforehand with maps.

thanks to all who helped graham especially.

Was wondering, how's the Noble? Hope you didn't have to wait too long for the recovery truck?

[MarkRSi]

Had a nice run out today with Andy and the local MX-5 club Turned up in my MR2 but I think I got away with it...

Some pictures if you're interested https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.41725359...

Saw Mark's Noble parked outside when we drove past this morning. Hope he gets it sorted soon.

Havent been on the forum for AGES and saw the run heading North into Aberdeen from Cove area on the Wellington Road Urban Expressway between BK and the hotel...I was heading opposite direction in the Boxster...some nice, shiny bits of quality Piston P0rn there! :-D

Then I saw this today, nobody here was it?

Was it "Blimey, that Yellow thing needs a wash!" :-D

I know, typical EE.....

[Parsnip]

Story looks to have been pulled...

Anything of interest?

[messcotti]

Lambo driver being pulled over off Great Northern Road for pulling away from lights and "not checking his mirrors" apparently... a non-story altogether tbh, but that doesn't stop the intrepid EE hacks...

More like "Lambo pulled over by a pair of twa@t coppers"
