I am genuinely surprised how slow going our growth is...
To be honest so am I. 
...Although to be fair I only found it by accident via the Porsche forum. I tend to bookmark the topics I want to read so rarely go to the Gassing Station. Had I not seen a thread about a 911 Targa for sale at Jacksons I'd still be blissfully unaware!
Still, it's great to finally have a CI thread. Now we just need to spread the word.

Good to meet you in person today ...Although to be fair I only found it by accident via the Porsche forum. I tend to bookmark the topics I want to read so rarely go to the Gassing Station. Had I not seen a thread about a 911 Targa for sale at Jacksons I'd still be blissfully unaware!

Hopefully we can get from two's company to a crowd soon
Hope the car is cleaner this evening

Good to meet you too, apologies for the brevity of the meeting. Hopefully I'll have time to grab a coffee next time.
You did shame me into cleaning the car when I got home however

Mine normally only goes out in nice weather so a bit of a cheat. Sadly I experienced some light rain at about 13:45 yesterday (a couple of hours ahead of forecast) so she did in fact get a wash and chamois before being tucked in the garage
Coffee and cake next time!!!
Good to meet you...

I'm in a mk1 octavia vrs at the mo. Got it back in July but not totally smitten with it... But taking it to the UK over Christmas for the first time since I brought it over, so some faster roads migh help it grow on me
Bought our first house just over a year ago so it's a matter of trying to have as much fun for as little cash as poss!James19181 said:

Nice looking car that has good write ups. Balancing house and car budgets is a challenge here too! I think getting the car away is essential. It is hard to get a real feel for a car's performance in Guernsey (well, unless you are quite happy to risk your licence!).I'm in a mk1 octavia vrs at the mo.

I'm heading back to South Wales so planning on a trip up around Brecon - some great roads around there. Just hope there's some dry weather...
Ah yes, Brecon. Used to have a partner in Cardiff so been north and west (and east!) a few times 
Some great roads, few cameras. There WAS a nasty accident one year not far north of Cardiff when a people carrier ran off the road into a reservoir on a sunny afternoon and if I recall 4 occupants drowned. Very very bizarre!So, be safe

The B4560 from Crickhowell to Llangynidr is probably one of my favourites.... It's just a great road

The pin on this map is at the hairpin used by loads of car journos for smoky drift shots!!
