Great day, Cheers everyone, have to say I did very little organising (I delegated instead ) so thanks to Gary for the route and Matt for the pub.

I think we could certainly make it a regular thing, perhaps once every couple of months or so.
10.30 was a good time though I didnt oversleep really, I just wanted to make a grand entrance

Pics to follow....

I think I am going to plan one over north beds way, would like to do the north beds villages run (pod, harrold, stevington and over by west end kempston too- lovely road) and the b660 too, I will make sure its on a day you have off, as i think this area is a bit out of the way for some of the usual crowd, so i need the numbers

sweet!

i can tell you some good roads i know if ya like!!!

ie palmers out to the B660 then down the B660 or the road from Riesley to St Neots or Kimbolton to the A14...

the trouble is alot of these roads are quite short (like the kempston one if we're thinking of the same one) so i don't know if they'll do for a full on drive!

i can even point out some decent pubs to stop at too!

anything to stop me doing what i did today... which was go for a drive with... myself!

though i did manage to fit in my first proper do-nut in this drive!!!

You guys got past a slowie, but the bunch didn't !! by the time we climbed up the hill out of Nobottle you'd disappeared!!

We all followed the Skyline, he saw a right indicator going thought you'd gone right!! I realised we'd gone the wrong way but he shot off so fast he didn't see me flashing my lights. Everyone behind followed me & U turned !!

Great Pics, I'm insanely jealous at having to miss it in the end. Looks like you all had a real blast.



Ah so you didn't show??
We waited another 15 mins for you but had to go


I'm sorry - I fell guilty of a no-show as well. The collection of cars and weather look superb. 3 Esprits down to 0 I will keep a look out for your next meet and try to be there.

Keep hooning!

Jason.

Everything on the road is a "slowie"
Ah that explains why he had been waiting at the pub for half an hour even after claiming he had done the whole route
I hadn't seen him come past

Well i enjoyed my mystery tour of the Northants countryside Thanks to Oggs for getting me there and Gary for organising. Also good to meet 2 fellow members of the nobility from the local area.

Gary - drop me an email and i'll send you the lambo pics from Brunters.....

What was the name of that plac where we drove by the lake?



Was that on the Oggs special seceret stage????

We drove over the causeway at Pitsford Reservoir?

You can mail me from my profile


Thanks to Stu and Greg for joining me on the Oggs magical mystery tour of the countryside.
The views were super and the little villages knew we were there and then just at the end of the tour we found a griff and saab...(I think they were lost)

Thanks to the 2 artics who joined the tour but were a little slow

If others want to join the Oggs tour then next one will be on the way to Le Mans Hands up

Till next time.......
