I thought we were meeting in Tescos car park? Or is that the same place? Sorry I don't know Amersham very well.

Yup, quite a large carpark so the end next to Foxes.

[SparkFox]

Well I'm here!

[CaptainSlow]

Just home and fully thawed out. Good to meet you all and thanks for organising the route.

[Quinten]

Got home an hour ago, and am just uploading my pictures

Full respect to t'Captain for going roofless, we rather enjoyed our heated seats

Thanks to Bobsan for the lovely route!

[SparkFox]

Had a great time. Was a good route in, hopefully the copilot got some pictures if us!
Slight communication error ending in me overtaking the lead car, oops!
CaptinSlow, top marks for going topless, good man!
Bobsan, thanks for the route, much better than motorways. You have a lovely car, it sounded brilliant kicking away from us.
Quentin, I hope your son enjoyed his day! Even at 100 leptons!

[Mrs OwenK]

We were planning on joining you on the convoy but overslept, hopefully we'll make it next time! bloody good bacon sarnies though!

[bobsan]

Very enjoyable day there, excellent mini run down, Captinslow's the man, I saw temps of -3 deg. several times across those fields. Looking forward to warmer days and longer runs.
How did you guys get on driving the Merc's ??

[SparkFox]

In short, fantastic. Well worth the money.

Have never driven a rwd, let alone done with 500bhp! Was hard to keep the back out on the skidpan though. Felt like there was a delay between pedal movement and engine response! Sam managed to get it right and do a full circuit looking out the side window!
Pics to follow, have a handful from the run.

[CaptainSlow]

Well just putting the car to bed this afternoon I noticed some dirty oil on the offside sill and in the front wheel arch. Has anyone else noticed anything?

[Quinten]

Yes, my front is covered with it, but I think it's just road grime... I hope it is anyway!

[goffahsez]

Yeah think I had some of that on my arches, think it has just kicked up off the roads. (touch wood)

Thanks for the route in, what a pleasure meeting you all.

I am now saving my money and getting an AMG, dot care which, lol. Great fun. Had a fantastic teacher too. Great day out.

Cheers all. Can't wait for the photos

ETA: REF the oil/water residue on everyone behind me - That was a Rover in front!!

Thanks for organising this run guys, was good fun. I was running a bit late that morning, but hopefully will get to the next one earlier so as to get more of a chance to have a chat before heading off.
