that'll be me then Sweet.
I had quite a good run with you (I was in the blue Clio) after we got stuck at some temporary traffic lights and had to catch up the group......had a bit of a brown trowser moment though when I got sideways on a right hander

Bleurgh!
I think it's best I fill in as little detail as possible!
I got food poisoning...
..........and that's my story...
.................and I'm sticking to it!
Apologies to Harsh for Effing up his morning hoon but we managed to find some adventure on the way back!
My apologies for the size of the pics!
McMerc, 430s, Gallardo - There was a second SLR outside and a 360CS and more Astons and Bentleys than you could shake an old man at!
6.3 LITRES!!
Look at the anchors on it! They'd stop the QEII!
Couple of Porkers!
Shiny wheels!
Interior
Mandatory Dancing Donkey!
TWO!
Also wound up a 360 owner who just couldn't put any space between us for love nor money!
(Forgot - there was a Ford GT there too that I didn't take a pic of, next to one of the Vanquish S's!)

the 360 guy really didnt look happy at a 'mere' M3 matching him move for move.
matched him on noise too
must remember that Audi A3's are wider than they look, or at least their owners think they are!
Glad to se you're up and about Robin,
Gary (wasted Years) thanks for the good wishes, we had a fun trip back via Rykas at Boxhill, saw an old Lambo indy and generally played with the traffic.
all while my other half was leading a group down to hayling island.
Go Girl!

Humpy, you must have pulled off some fantastic manoeuvres to keep with us on the way home.
I was hanging back because of the shrapnel being thrown up - I might as well have had a gritter lorry in front
Had a great drive following you lot - enjoyed reeling you in 2 great runs in one morning

Apologies to those on the table at brekkie for being a tit and spilling dropping the fry-up and spilling tea everywhere! 
Top pics there Timmy, and no need to apologise about breakfast (especially as you didn't even manage to get me), top video too!

Gah! I lost you guys after the petrol station 
Think that's because the nutcase in the TVR seemed to be in a hurry to pull out in front of the police car
Top run fellas. Many thanks to Gruffy for putting the work in..
Many apologies to the poor buggers that followed me when I didn't have a clue where I was going, leaving Ockham Village. Realised when we started towards Leatherhead it was all terribly wrong.
Top effort & major big up to Tiger two for leading our little straggling posse there in the end, and top marks for not hitting the death wish Pheasants on 3 different occasions.
Sorry for holding up John in the Atom, . I think our pace was little slow for you at first, looks like you caught up and stayed with the two Elises after that, big front engine RWD V8's and those damp rollercoaster roads are an interesting combination. I thought considering I kept a good pace (bit of work on the suspension seems to have helped). My arse (cars, not mine) was starting to slide on many occasion.
Sorry to hear about Robin's food poisoning episode,
wondered why you & Harsh stopped so quick and then dissapeared, and Hope SLvrCrb's car not too costly, did feel for you stuck halfway up that hill (was a very convenient toilet break mind).
The Route -- Absolutely brilliant, Really looking to another go in more suitable conditions, might bring the Jap car next time,
can see why the Lotus Club like it. Was impressed by the lack of traffic, cameras 
and general sceneric content (particularly the dead deer 
!). Good end spot too, brekkie by the sea,
Some lovely cars not seen before, some new faces, all in all a good day !!!! See you next time.

Had a great time, worth getting up at 4am for
Nice route, would happily take it again, good to see everyone sticking together too, only got lost near Hayling following one of the lotus's and the R1 but turned around and made it to destination alone.
Was in the white AE86 Corolla Levin.

Same goes for the Noble on the way down, hope you weren't getting too pissed off being stuck behind a shopping trolley.
No problem. As it was my first run and with damp patches and tyres that are better in the dry, you were going quick enough for me. Besides - it's not exactly the slowest "shopping trolley" around, is it??
(I was more worried about holding up the Yellow Ultima behind me!)

The Yellow Ultima was having plenty of 'moments' as well so the pace suited me. You would think 335 wide tyres would grip better but it does not seem that way. I swear there were some places I could have handled better in my Pug 306 D-Turbo.
