Dorset Dawdle 5 (reprise)

[Bob the Planner]

The Beaminster tunnel was John A's Somerset Saunter. I don't remember any run which covered ZZ hill and a tunnel. I could be wrong though

Afraid not Bob will be mostly in Kent this weekend.

Are you around on the 30th October? Looks like I may be in the Poole area.

[corozin]

I will definately be there unless the car let's me down. Let's keep fingers crossed for some good weather eh?

Look forward to seeing you guys again.

John (he of the noisy Volkswagen!)

Thanks hotblack - and one of my pet hates on rennlist is those people who do not read all the posts on a topic before posting
Another 944 turbo (Pete in a very shiny red one) should be joining us as well.

I know, I know - common as muck My garage is full of 'em

Looking forward to Sunday - let's hope it doesn't rain too hard.

My neck of the woods so might just have to drag the drifter out for a wee blast.

Finishing at Sandbanks sounds cool cos I can then go windsurfing, wonder if I can fit it all on the rollcage?

I hope you make (I hope I make it too...) I'd love to see the Captain's own Sideways machine...it looks like a very special MX5.

No drifting on the route, though! It *is* a smashing drive, mind,..I really enjoyed it last time...I'll have the "brake" in the car (as will most of us I expect) so it'll be a sedate country ramble..... Muahahahhhaaahha

[herbie hammer]

Just got back from the hollybobs and with the list of things I have to do, Sunday is looking doubtful I am afraid - will do our best to make it, but it aint looking good.

Have a good one

HH.

weather looks more promising than earlier in the week,

[cptsideways]

I'm going to try & make it one way or another in the Drifter hopefully. If I can't then I can always meet you all in Sandbanks car park later on, cos I'll be out on the seafront giving it large in the wind & waves.

I'll be in the Volvo Africa Wagon if you get to Sandbanks, you can't miss it.

[AJLintern]

Just washed the car - in the dark Had to keep waving at the security light to make it come on so I could see!

[Don]

No-one posted since they got back, yet? I must be the first!

1) A HUGE thank you to Bob.
2) REALLY nice seeing you all, both old friends and new. PHers are such nice people...
3) The roads and scenery were everything I remembered from DD1. Just brilliant.

Pictures to follow...
