Then the next thing I know he was all over me like a bad smell. yup It was BIB. Like a miget on a urinal I knew I would have to tread carefully. Anyway it turns out he followed me out from almost the car park. and I got a £30 fine for my number plates. So it really was the worlds most expensive breakfast. !!
Bad luck about the fine chap. What was wrong with your plate, I didn't notice anything "odd" about any of the cars out today.

Hey all thanks for the run, hi to those that I met 
Our little convoy of three certainly took some "interesting" little roads that had me feeling a little nervous at times (puddles, leaves no trouble for the FWD S3 but my little RWD hedgehunter was a bit unsure of it's footing).
Deffo looking forward to my next pistonheads outing, and will try and make it along if something is sorted out for boxing day, got a SELOC outing a few days later - same route we were supposed to take today
so may not be able to make it.
Dave/Rich from the S3 - be really grateful if you could let me have copies of the pics you took
Drop me an email through my profile and well post a Cd to you, Our little convoy of three certainly took some "interesting" little roads that had me feeling a little nervous at times (puddles, leaves no trouble for the FWD S3 but my little RWD hedgehunter was a bit unsure of it's footing).

Those roads where interesting, and you kept catching up! However this scenario was the best thing opf the day charging round great roads with new friend (mayber round incircles a little) but the sticking together made it fun! (ive got a Sat nav upg arranged for next time!)
We where at time the lost boys and at one occasion "bringing up the rear"!!
All the best Dave,
p.s. Sorry we appeared to have lost you on the way to the pub,

Dave,
Driving like a real...?????? (answers on a post card to www.yourmum.com)
Nevermind, funny though!
But on another serious note I have a theory about that cop car.
When me and Ben came into the car park we went the wrong way and had to turn round to come back on ourselves. Anyway a warden for the centre told him, me and Nigel to slow down (possibly others too) whilst we were crawling through the car park. Odd as we were not speeding at all.
Anyway as we were parking up I heard other wardens (high vis jacket types) on hand held walkie talkies to someone saying something along the lines of "They are all parked up now", and this was whilst they were stopped looking at as all parking up.
Anyhow I think that they assumed we were a roudy load of nutters and so made a "phonecall"
I bet as we were having breakfast some sort of unmarked traffic unit did a bit of staking and observing. Just seems to much of a coincidence to me

Assuming we're comparing with the Ginetta, and assuming Pete's is standard, then I have in actual fact got 35% more power (270ps vs 200), 43% more torque (315 ft/lb vs 220) and 
104% more weight!! 
(1,750kg vs 875) 
Chris, not quite - 222bhp, 250lbft, 848kg 104% more weight!! (1,750kg vs 875) Ben, excellent job mate, when's the next one??
