Firstly I would like to thank SYTVRCC for organising todays run, I would also like to thank the weather, what a glorious day it was!

I would also like to apologise if anyone still has ringing in their ears from my "modded exhaust"!


En route to chez gemini, two Tuscans break the morning silence.


First meeting point.



Hmmm, I don't think that is going to work.


God bless Bob The Planner, and his toolkit!


Stop number 2.



"I never thought growing a beard would be so tiring", gemini was heard muttering.


gemini & specs "in reflection"

Didnt quite make the beach

Really quite cheesed off that someone had a tradgic misfourtune onthe main whitby road - police blocked it off to deal with the carnage

Hell there were actually police doing a good job and not just catching speeders (ref sticking one up gh0st)

More pictures to come standby

Hmm, we heard via the Chim-fone that there was a road problem... not to worry, me James and Dr Bert had enough beer, fish n chips, ice cream and candy floss to make up for the shortfall

You could have found a picture without the knees ! The belt is visible though. Next time I will see if I can bring along the portable welder.

That'd be mine then. I have a few piccies about (rustle, rustle - oh, apparently I've not). There is one on my profile. The colour is Apache Metallic, it is apparently an Opel colour (some Tigra's were made in it) - I was told that it was the only one, but looks like yours is pretty darn close.....

Here is one I took on Sunday, looked lovely in the sunshine.



P.S. You can see my car in the background on your profile pic, even has 2 exhausts!

I'm based in Otley - regularly seen roaring/ChimGrinning (hmm, I wonder if that'll make it into the dictionary eventually) over the moor roads !

AHA! I knew I had seen your car before! The photo on my profile was "purloined" (ahem) from Chris Crossley's web site (the "Cars in the Park" site). I can't believe I have been out on two days now, and not taken my camera on either....

Hi m8, hmm.. it does look similar yet somehow different, although mine looks different in photos than in real life.

Apparently mine is saxon bronze which is supposed to be a GM colour too, my mate (whos a painter) has tryed to locate it in the colour charts but has come up short he did mention he found apache though which might be it.

I did catch a glimpse of "Apache's" griff at PF03 and as i remember it was a more reddy shade, although to be fair that was a while back..
