Clotted Cream Run '07 - July 14th/15th 2007

[AngryS3Owner]

Well I hope I'm this drunk tomorrow

John has kindly offered to help me with my car problem, see you at the pub - I expect a lift off everyone with a spare passenger seat over the weekend.

Jon - there didn't seem to be anything wrong with your GT2 in the shite weather last weekend!

[R1_JON]

Sorry guys, I'm going to drop out. Feeling rough this morning and the weather looks cr*p. I might follow you down later...

[AngryS3Owner]

Hope you feel better later Jon

I am hoping to see you off at the start from 1030am onwards. I will post some vids up on this thread for you to see when you get back (unless anyone is taking a laptop! )...

Dave are you planning on coming along to see them off to? And how about the Monkey Puzzle at 3?

Hi James, got stuff on this morning so not able to see the chaps off.

Have a great trip everyone

[Dizeee]

Where did that MG come from? And Piero I think you got held up and we ran out of road before you came past so your not on here Im afraid!

Have a good time all...

Well, everyone got there safely!

We're also back safe, but as we had to detour to get the kids, I can't say about the others.

The route down was superb, even if it did rather push my brakes to the limit of endurance, and my route back was at least as good! I couldn't say where it was, but anyone with a BMW Navteq satnav computer could do far worse than starting in Lostwithiel and asking it for the shortest (as opposed to fastest) route to Taunton!

[Dizeee]

Pics pics pics and more pics please!

[E2DJH]

Is Kermit Power the only survivor?
Where are you all? Safely home i hope

[Baldylocks]

I made it back

It was some run back too. Crossing Dartmoor in the fog was interesting. And Turbofun's detour from the A303 was..erm..fun!

[Dizeee]

Is that it - no stories or near misses?

Nigel did his best to rear end a sheep, but that was about it for near miss scenarios!

[Baldylocks]

Nice vid Dizeee LOL at the first comment!!

Only near misses I recall are my wingmirror nearly being ripped off by a bush as I overtook a rolling chicane of a Golf (sure you'll hear all about that Golf ) And several suicidal sheep out on the moors

The Golf was a high point of the weekend for me!

How do you guarantee 10 miles or so of completely empty moorland roads? Just put a rolling roadblock at the start and wait till even Granny in her Micra has cleared the other end before you overtake it!

All I need now is some car sickness tablets, some nice air freshener to remove the wafting odour of cooking brake pads, and I'm up for a repeat run!

[Baldylocks]

I guess the Golf did play a key role in that part of the run. Your brakes were very smelly.

Highlights for me was that super twisty bit and the run across Dartmoor - superb piece of road
