Though clearly not ALL blue cars are faster . . . . . . 
I passed a silver 996 parked on the gravel layby on the 543. Then I came up behind a blue mk5 R32 taking it very easy, driver gave an indicator for me to overtake, always appreciated, thanks. This was around the same time some Minis and Porsches passed in the opposite direction. On the way back along the A5 a convoy of about 20 more classic Minis passed in the opposite direction.
Very vigilant with the headless driver btw!

Were you driving an Elise by any chance?BTW, the driver of the R32 wasn't taking it easy. He was fully commited to the road

No, 'thePickle' was driving a Red MK5 Golf GTi (DSG I would guess). Made a nice pop on the upchange.

Seems like I caught up with the R32 at just the wrong moment, shame. I think it was stuck behind a Micra (?) doing 35-40mph so when it didn't overtake at the first opportunity I came by and went on my way. Manual btw.
GTi sounded good btw.

Certainly not in the R32 league for nice sounds! Re gti vs R32, I’m not sure I would have fancied my chances, particularly in those damp conditions, would have been fun though.
I've driven a few GTis. I thought they were splendid. You are right about the conditions - quite yuck. Definately made my mate in the Carrera more cautious. But what a splendid section of road. Didn't like the foresty bit - one thinks you'd have to be well into 3 figures there to be having much fun!TeaVR said:

I did a couple of laps today Spotted a red mx5 a few times doing the route in the opposite direction to me, exchanged flashes the third time we passed each other. Someone from here maybe? I was driving an 06 plate red mk5 golf gti.
How wierd. That was me and Kitty_Kat in the MX5. I wondered at the time if it was someone from here. Bizzare.

Did the triangle today in, wait for it, a Disco TD5
Was great fun, it's surprisingly chuckable round the bends. Had to do it more than once, so we ended up doing it 3 times. Saw a 911 going the other way a few times, was that anyone on here?
