Surrey Run VI: Driver's Delight - 17 October

[jeremyc]

By popular demand we bring you yet another Surrey Run production: 90 miles of the finest driving that the South of England offers.

What is more, it is cunningly timed to coincide with those awfully nice people at Racing Green having an open day, so we'll end up scoffing bacon sandwiches, drinking coffee and drooling over the best in TVR, Jaguar and other performance cars in the comfort of their state-of-the-art facility in Ash Vale.

We will be making an early start (7:30am ) from close to junction 9 of the M25.

If you'd like to come along then email me through my profile and I'll make sure you get full directions.

7.30am on a weekend.. Your havin a Laugh!

Early birds catch the empty roads.

You're welcome to follow along about four hours later, but I can guarantee you'll sit behind tartan rug-carrying Rover 214s with George driving Doris to church.

Yes, v. interested, which j is 9?

Leatherhead. If you email me through my profile I'll send you full instructions nearer the day.

[jeremyc]

Directions send to everyone who contacted me; if you don't have a copy, let me know by emailing me through my profile.

Oh, and start the sun dances for Sunday morning.

I sent them yesterday Alan to your 450seac address. Did you not get them?

No, come on down Stu: it's no bigger than previous ones. Anyway, I need to pick your brains about your previous steed....

It does mean that everyone needs to be very sensible about the driving so that we don't attract (unwanted) attention. Also if anyone asks, noone actually organised it - right?

So Sir, it's just coincidence that thirty high performance cars all seem to be following the same route around the south of England is it?

I'm really tempted to come along, but I can't help thinking that a Clio 172 Cup will be left trailing behind

I hope you're not implying that we would ever break any of this fair land's oh-so-reasonable speed limits on our little jaunt?

[jeremyc]

Thanks to everyone for coming along - I think I counted 43 cars.

A special mention of thanks to Shadytree who made Alison's morning by letting her passenger with him for the second leg of the run. I'll not thank you though for that fact that she now insists that we have a '9.

Lastly, my coolest car vote must got to the chap in the Daytona, gorgeous car.

An amazing array of machinery - truly a credit to the PistonHeads community. Off the top of my head I remember:
- Ferrari Daytona
- two Fezza 355s
- two Ultimas
- Marcos TS500
- Aston Martin DB9
- Porsche GT2
- Porsche 993RS
- two Nobles
- Maserati 4200
- a collection of V8S, Chimeara, Griffith, Cerbera and Tuscans.
- Seat Leon Cupra R, Renault Clio Cup and Ford Foci upholding the hatchback stakes
- Mazda MX5
- some dodgy old Audi estate

Glad you enjoyed it Laurence. Sorry I dodn't get a chance to chat to you.

For more of the same (but without so much driving ) get yourself down to Virginia Water next Sunday.

...found myself as the first TVR behind the nobles !! Once they had gone the wrong way ...

I tried to tell everyone that it's fatal following others - assume noone knows the way.

Especially Nobles.

Glad you enjoyed it - good to have you along.
