Jockman still can't keep up

Sorry I had to miss out on your run Mikey but I had another engagement to attend. On the plus side though, I stumbled across the B5055 from Leak to Bakewell on my way to Chesterfield, largely traffic free and fantastic fun.

There's some great roads around there might have to sort a run out in that area!

Great, as long as we don't have to go up mountain sides without barriers :-)

These were the leaders of the pack - I, of course, had no problem keeping up with them

Ah, the Power of Dreams :-) A splash of much needed colour (not including Adam's wonderful Hardly Green roadster).

What we learned from this weekend:

1. Jockman doesn't do corners

2. Jockman DEFINATELY does do straights- I'll tell you when I see you

3. Driving 'gently' does have its benefits - we both filled up together at the start and end of the run, the blue ones DBS used 49 litres my V12V 60 litres ( or maybe I've got a hole in my tank)

4. Some hats hat wearers are more stylish than others


5. His car 'scratches' really easily


As has been said cracking day, great organisation and to all invloved.

Come now Andrew, Adam's hat wasn't that bad :-)

Looks like a great day guys, cars look beautiful!!
Maybe there's a Honda-Aston club starting here, Woollie and Mikey are starting a sub-culture ?

Seeeemon.....now >that< was scarey. One look at your ipod at any time and you were over the cliff

Oh, and the DBS and V12Vs do have low CF splitters, Mikey

Seemon is the new Rob......highly inappropriate overtaking manoeuvres

Just imagine you see a gap to get through in your V12V. Halfway through the overtaking you remember you've sold your V12V and you're now in a 2 litre Honda. Then the smell hits you......

Looks a good run out. Loving the S2000's as well, superb cars and 9000rpm is a good laugh!

Quiz question.......How many DBS' in this picture from yesterday ???????????

Special prize for any non-attendees

Oh, and yes, that is my gorgeous Quantum Silver one at the front

Judging by the picture I would say the number is "dime-a-dozen".

Damn your impudence, KF

I'm seeing if anyone noticed the DB9 with the DBS bonnet

Fair point. If you don't remember to be at or around 6K RPM when starting an overtake then you do run the risk of running out of road! Had I know that we were actually at the entrance to the lunch venue then I wouldn't have attempted it. Near death experiences do make you appreciate life all the more I feel

Spill the beans on hint from Retman then!

Let's just say he had to exceed 150 to keep up

Seems to be quite common, lucky enough to have both!
