Not this time

[Bob the Planner]

Yeah - I'm up to coming back to Dorset for a blast.

Is it the same route as DD1 or something new ? I assume we will be going via the chain ferry so will need a few coppers for the crossing.

I'll let you know a little nearer the time if I can make it. Had a lovely Dorset weekend last at DD1(? or 2??).

We were at DD1 with you Don, not sure if you did 2 or not as I wasn't there.

Could be up for 5 if times work out.
Remeber the cold?

[deeen]

It was DD1 we were at, then. Yes I do remember the cold...brrr...I also remember getting lost and following a gentleman in his S at breakneck speed around the route catching up. It was ace!

I also remember the fabulous road that went directly along the ridgetop with the tank firing range on one side - FANTASTIC!

If its the DD1 route again I am *really* going to have to see if I can make it...really brilliant fun.

I have altered the route a bit to take in Chalky Road so its about 71 miles this time. Not as long as the Yorkshire runs but quality not quantity ! How many other runs have taken a ferry as part of the route ? If we take off over the humps on the B3075 we can travel by land, sea and air !

Sorry Jim, I forgot to include you on the email I sent to Linda and Paul . The more the merrier.

That car was "**** me" quick IIRC...

[corozin]

Aw shucks, that's kind of you to say but I don't think I'm quite in Tuscan-R territory yet...

However since you last saw me I have fitted some 330mm Brembos and some chassis tweaks, so the car is actually quite a bit faster than it was (Note to any Police Officers : around the race track).

The brakes are just awesome on a car of this size. They allowed me to take 30yds off everyone in the braking areas at Castle Combe the last time I was up there. I've even managed to (accidentally) whiplash the brunette with them

Anyway I've got the MOT due next weekend - keep your fingers crossed for me as it's an old car now and I always get stressed about this time of the year when it goes for it's medical!

We are hoping to make this one - maybe we could do a mini convoy from Basingstoke/Andover way

Will try and make this one,don't remember which one I did, but the group got split and we mostly found each other at the bottom of zig zag hill

We haven't quite made up our minds if we are driving down that morning...or going to a B&B/Hotel the night before, yet. I'll update you...

That would be DD4 where we did ZigZag twice . This one goes across the ranges - we just have to hope they are not firing that day

See you all on the 10th

[AJLintern]

I'll probably come along. Was going to take the Spitfire, but that's still in the garage with no MOT... and it's next weekend isn't it

Which run was the zigzag hill and the tunnel, that was a very good route
