Any ideas?

Thanks!

We will be taking the 'scenic' route there and back! if you want a map of said route let me know, these trips are always a pretty good day out with likeminded drivers. Quite a mix of cars too at the Runnymede as you can see.

lol, I'm tempted mate.

TY, was wondering about that, seems to be a bit of divided opinion about modded cars, or is it the more extreme mods, body work etc?.

Nothing wrong with modified cars, so long as it is a worthwhile mod (i.e. It does something useful).

Come down to the meet point tomorrow with a full tank of fuel (wink) and have some fun. You won't regret it!

All mine are performance mods so although my GF disagrees I'd say they are useful! Strange you should say that, just got back from my local Shell garage biggrin
