Hi Steve,
We'll be leaving Old Barn at 07.30, so be there before if you want to join in the run.

Hope you can make it,

Derek

Hopefully try and shoot over to Goodwood for a natter and take in the cars. Otherwise you're meeting at The Old Barn at 07.30 ?

Keith has talked me into it!!

I'll be there at 7:15 with him - look out for a pair of blue cerbs (the best colour, obviously!!). I expect you'll hear us coming!!

Looking forward to it already (but not the early start)

Cheers

Well done Derek, great blast through the Sussex countryside with some wonderful stretches of road, but highlights of the day have got to be the Southwick tunnel and the BMW drivers face/reaction and then the fly past by a Hurricane at Goodwood itself, both worth the early start!!!


Rob....told you you'll love it

Hi guys,
great run out, nice to find plenty of open roads in front of us, and not to many numpties!!
Pleased we managed to keep in convoy (the exception being the somewhat bewildered beamer driver, who couldn't grasp the TVR/tunnel concept).

Hope you all got home o.k.

See you on the next one.

Derek & Gail.

P.S. The picture of the Hurricane has got to be a first for Piston heads, well done.

Derek, just an idea but how about combining the Southwick tunnel with the Lewes tunnel (adding in Petworth..of course!) and finishing up at a suitable establishment for breakkie/brunch?? Have I just started my first TVR run forum?

Derek,

Thanks a million - had a great run out this morning.

I assume you always lay on the hurricane for entertainment on every run??

Keith - you were right!

Thanks guys (and girls)
