Yorkshire Big Breakfast - Easter Sunday, 4th April, Malton
Discussion
Had an awesome quick run up the Stamford Bridge road to Malton in the Supersport - hadn't driven it in ages and loved it. Sadly the front facing MD0 footage points into the road and the rear points to the sky - doh! Will be more careful next time but quality looked OK.
Thanks to John and Mark for a great morning. It was seriously hard to walk away from that Turquoise 996 Turbo!!
Cheers
Scott.

Doh indeed! Nice to meet you Scott. My footage has come out ok given the circumstances, the positioning of the camera seems ok, but as the roads were so wet and filthy the lens quickly got covered so its a bit blurred. The relatively narrow angle lense makes everything look quite slow and steady aswell, which could be a good or bad thing I guess!
I'll try do a bit of editing and stick it onto youtube this week.

Well, at least I made it near! My alternator belt snapped only about 2 miles away!
The place I just had it serviced at will be in for a major ear bashing on Tuesday morning!
Were you in a pub car park? I'm sure i passed by you and a couple of other cars just nearby.The place I just had it serviced at will be in for a major ear bashing on Tuesday morning!
Didn't see another yellow 355 convertible there.
Thanks for organising everything Mark and everyone else helping out.
And with guest appearances from Jonny in the Porsche and Garlick in the R8 spyder! Cheers for the support guys!
Managed to cause a decent tailback though with people slowing down to see the Fezzer on the back of a lorry!
Yeah I think that huge queue of the main road was people slowing down to see what was happening haha, rather than bank holiday traffic.
Very good day, well done to Malton for organising, the Air Ambulance donation and for laying on such excellent catering!
We had a good blast round the Blakey/Rosedale loop first too (Rosedale had a "road closed" sign but we sneaked carefully past that) and saw lots of nice cars who no doubt ended up at Malton too Witnessed an impressive exit by a fish-tailing Wedge TVR just before we left, although for a moment I thought it was going to go all wrong and end up parked on my bonnet!
My photos look just like everyone elses (I have loads of the XJ220 too, lol):

Bugger, was it passable then? I was leading a small group and on the way back down we headed down here, its my favourite section in the area, we got to the sign but as we were in a group i thought it was better to spin round. Plan had been to go back down to Rosedale and up Chimney bank which is always fun. Ah well...Why was the sign there, any idea? We suspected it might have been for some monumentally large potholes?
Was my first time and I had an excellent morning even if I didn't get the 106 finished in time to drive it there! The Easter nest buns were fantastic and so was the young lady who was serving them! I was most impressed with some of the machinery lining the industrial estates roads aswell, pity I was merely a passenger in the taxitastic Vx Omega as id have loved to go for a drive afterwards! Thank you to all at Malton for a great day heres to the next one!
Despite having to get up very very early for a dawn hoon over the moors it was an excellent day.
Few piccies from me.
