BoLOCs 10th Anniv run - 12th April

[Grinnders]

The flu was real. The recovery recent. The run was great fun, but I think I may have had to ask someone else to drive my car home if I had 'Gone all the way'. Cheers. Well done Simon. A few images snap-shotted from the dashcam. obviously mainly of an Orange Exige but there are a few long shots.

Yes was great to see everyone today.
And thank you Grinders some lovely shots of the steed.

Great to catch up with so many BoLOCs today and really good to see DST on form as ever. My first run in the Baby Elise, pleased to say the little girl managed to keep up even with only a 1.6 engine.

Thanks Beachbum for organising.

I'd just like to echo what's already been said - a really great day out, driving some fantastic roads amongst some fantastic cars and company.

Thanks for welcoming the 'gatecrasher' to the gathering - I really appreciate it, and it was very good to meet you all today. And finally another 'thank you' to Beachbum for organising the route and for leading the way.

I hope to see you all again soon.

Mark.

P.S. I managed to double the mileage on the LF1 today (I did a total of 320 miles) so only a couple of hundred more until the first service and the full potential is unleashed!

You mean that being able to out accelerate you was a one off

Shame you could not make it Marcus i also found a rear view shot of your Steed mind you do not think Jules likes to be called a steed

[Grinnders]

For those BoLOCs that fancy more frolicking but don't have me as a connection on BookFace check out the Supercar Sunday event to Googwoog next month. Just search for it

[TheDeadPrussian]

I'll probably go along to Supercar Sunday - but I need to register...

Anyone going to Newlands Corner next Sunday? I'm taking a drive up, should be there by 0900hrs.
I need to get a few more miles on the car in preparation for the first service!

Mark.

[Grinnders]

You don't have to register but you certainly have a car worthy of it and a few of us Exiges have confirmations.
