Did try to get out of the way so you could video the others.

Seems they where a small dot though

I've got some pics, but being a newbie, not sure if there is somewhere to post them on this site. Any clues? Fester

If you want - email them to me and I'll host for you.

Great day out even though I fell back from the black wedge a few times (it's not handled right since I broke a rear shock - must find time to investigate soon)

Never seen a convertible Ultima before

Thanks folks!

I'll have you know my recently glued hub cap did'nt fall off once!

Myself and Di like to cruise - hang back and enjoy the ride and make it last as long as possible Plus we also stop any BiB cars getting past to catch you lot We must have stopped at least 5

Dave you did TVR proud

Just spoken to a friend who spotted 2 of the Ultimas on the A34 passing Oxford, followed by the BIB. Hope a great day didn’t end in disaster for you guys

That would be me being followed by the BiB. They liked my Ultima for 20 minutes.

The BiB must love Ultimas as that was the 2nd one to follow us that day

Good to see you all and look forward to pics/vid

Hi All,
I had a great time on the blasts, but what about some roads that are a little wider next time, I couldn't overtake a cyclist on those roads.lol
Nice to meet the people I did and maybe meet the others next time. Marin.

PS - did anyone else get airbourne on the big crest?...it felt like we were 5 feet in the air!
