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
This wpould make sence as when we arrived and where looking for breakfast location we passed the security bird about 5 times, i bet all our plates where run whilst we emptied out plates.But on another serious note I have a theory about that cop car.

They must have waited round the corner though, just as we hit the public highway, and followed the last one oput and as we all "behaved" on that bit it was sods law.
(note that they where'nt up for chasing an M5 down, that requires some skills! )

Well back home now. Cheers Ben for the organization and breakfast location, top place.
Good meeting some new faces and put them to Ph names. Enjoyed the run and managing to keep on the back of our little group, Tuscan-M3-Noble-M5-Porsche-Tuscan lots of fun and sounded great ahead of me. Nice route look forward to some summer runs again on it.
Managed to get my exhaust fixed, stopped at that exhaust place by tesco. They put me onto a mobile mig welder and I went over to Havant, all welded up and sorted £25, happy
Sorry XLlift that I didn't give your boy a run out as the exhaust was hanging off, will have to meet up another time and can give him a run out ans take a look at your car your building too.
Pics look good too.

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).
Cough 4WD cough, did Dave not demonstrate driving one like a total idiot for you?

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. !!
Bugger, sorry to hear that chap, is your car okay at least? Dave was saying you were having some problems with your bumper?richb86 said:
Oh and Nathan or maybe Nigel
or maybe both, thanks for being such great mates

Top vids James, good effort 
I assume that was music you were listening to in the car whilst trying to catch that damn yellow thing?

Good to meet a few new faces too. Hope those that got lost did'nt get put off coming to another; it does'nt always happen! I've done God knows how many hoons this year and only gone AWOL once (solo mission into the depths of Cornwall for me
)
Ben - cheers for organising things again. The lovely breakfast (much better than last time IMHO) made up for you not knowing where we were going at the start

Yep, relatively early on I had Dizee (Astra) in front of me and spectre17 (Puma) behind me. I was trying to "manage" the distance between the two to keep both in touch, but when we got to the A29 Dizee buggered off and I didn't see which way he went, hence me taking everyone the wrong way for a half a mile. Oops. )

Its hard to know how to gauge it sometimes. The level of traffic did'nt help today. I'm not sure if we started a little later than normal or that it was a Sat morning rather than Sun, but there seemed to a bit more traffic than I remember from last time.Your car was one of my favourites from today. Looks so good in white. And you were'nt afraid to chuck it around a bit from what I saw, which is always good!

Not sure what else you're supposed to do with a sports car! Surely people don't buy them to pose in and pootle around with out using the loud pedal?? What kind of world do we live in!What happened about the lady in her dressing gown waving her fist? Those damned TVRs, too loud and getting us into trouble.

Sorry Buddy, a temporary slip of judgement which I hold my hands up to... However, not sure if you noticed me passing you in the opposite direction and then circling that mini roundabout over and over just after you doubled back... I came back to find you guys !
And all was well again...
