Sounds great, where shall we meet? Birmingham should be about half way, but it's a bit built up round there! You could always come further up this way wink

If you do a cotswolds/south wales run, I will be up for it... Not looking to cover epic distances though.

I was thinking more Hants Dorset area. The BoLOCs seem to have gone a bit pipe and slippers of late.

make it closer to 8:20am... wouldn't want you to get cold waiting for us! lol

i can't remember the exact name of the car park, but it is the one of the south side of the a31 (ie just off the west bound side), heading towards burley and then immediately on the right... works well as you can easily get to it from the eastbound carriageway too.

the run i have in mind isn't a super-fast blat, but a technical twisty route which should suit the elise perfectly.

That was a great way to start the day. Thanks Alex for the route and the V8 soundtrack, thanks Phil for having the idea.

cheers dave... good to see you and of course uncle phil.

it was a lovely little run... a bit slippery in places, but we were blessed by zero traffic, enabling us to just concentrate on safe, rapid and fluid driving.

can't wait for the next!

Well you didn't give me much notice did you... sadly I don't trawl the forum every day.

No probs Phil. Good idea if it's short notice. Apologies too.. my earlier response looks a bit tetchy when read again with hindsight. No malice intended obviously.

Grinnders, no problem.
Fatwomble, how did you get on with the pedal car?
Pics would be good.
