Nice bit of organising there Mike - Good to meet a few more of you.

Dave, not quite sure what you've unleashed in Li but the poor sod was grilling me as to what he would pay for a Tuscan as we drove home.

RichardR, Hope to get to meet you again and actually get some time to chat about fave old roads round Hindhead / Churt at some time!

Who the hell was it that had that bloody awesome sounding "S" - that really sounded gorgeous!

Thing is he hasn't had a ride in a Tuscan yet - I think he'd be a bit *LESS* keen if he had. Poor sod nearly had a heart attack when Dave started his up as he was stood behind it!

I'm less fickle though - I don't get my head turned by young, lithe and sexy models - my heart is still with the Chim.

Good call Phil! I'll look forward to a trip down memory lane (and Whitmore Vale! ) sometime.

That was Mike (mgaut) who I arrived in convoy (if 2 cars can count as a convoy) with. I think I must've driven him mad with my constant references to his exhaust, and the obvious covetous fixation I'd developed in a very short space of time!

Well, the the more time I have then the longer I get for my repeated small deposits to "accrue interest". OH

If only that tw*t in that Volvo had realised that you were recording the run over there then I bet he'd be feeling a right ct right now.

I said to my mum "show the chap in the volvo that we're recording"

To which she replied, "no, just go out after him"

Ghaaaarrrr! :headinhands:

Well ... if it's any consolation if I hadn't been there there'd have been nothing in that bloody big gap between the lead Tivs and you.

Of course it's the Volvo's exhaust that you can hear in the vid.

But I'm sure I saw the hairdryer in the back switched to both the top speed and heat settings!

You got some lights out on the back of the volvo mate.

LHD side If memory serves.

Yup ... the outer of the two tail lights (on the actual rear wing) ... the inner one (on the tailgate) can look as though it's out but isn't - it just seems very directional.

I saw that on Grahams vid last night and checked this morning - Must have gone sometime between Friday evening (when I last checked 'em) and Sunday thanks for the heads up tho!

Not a clue actually, Steve.

We were chatting away and the chap turned up, turned round and went.



Did look lovely though

Thanks to EVERYONE for attending, I actualy felt proud on the way home

It was great to meet so many of you after so long, Rako, Crimson King, DaleCRX, Graham J, Craig to name a few of the cracking people..

I think we should do it again. The landlady of the Phoenix said next time we should get there for 11:30, where they will supply coffee, and we can take over the front of the Pub carpark, and her son will take proper pictures for us

Once again, thank you

The feeling's mutual.

If you're still in a meeting mood, why not come over to the Berks TVRCC meeting next Tuesday? It's just off M4 J11/A33 so a nice run from Fleet down through Hartley Wintney and up past Wellington Country Park.
