Elan Vally Run 17th April
Discussion
Great cars and a great friendly gang as usual. Lovely to chat to many of you.
Hope that camera van didn't make a killing on THE only straight bit of road heading West. I can think of far better places to police where 10 mph over the posted limit would be indefensible rather than an utter irrelevance.
Few pics:

David cleaned the car with Vim especially for this trip and then added a bit of Pledge

He uses Brasso on the carbon fibre bits too

Keeping up nicely with the 3 decade younger motors

Great run out as always and well organised thanks to Matt. I have been on many PH runs but none for a while but this was the biggest turn out by far.
The only downside was the amount of road debris, my splitter has been sand blasted and I had a huge stone bounce off my roof kicked up by a 350z.
Still, a car is for driving and these are the small downsides to getting out on the black stuff with like minded individuals from time to time![wink](/inc/images/wink.gif)
Looking forward to seeing more pics and maybe the odd video as there were a few go pro's around.

There's an old name I recognise, how goes it buddy - it's pippyrips from s/n. Would have been good to catch up if I'd known you were there!The only downside was the amount of road debris, my splitter has been sand blasted and I had a huge stone bounce off my roof kicked up by a 350z.

Know that you mean about the road debris. I was trying to keep a decent distance behind the cars in front to limit the damage, thankfully seemed to have escaped inscathed.

Oh, there was also 1 fatality today, my mate in the Fiesta RS 1800 had a Large Bird fly into his windscreen @ approx 70mph, driver behind said it was a Pheasant and launched 40ft up in a cloud of feathers,
