Bath of Minogues? Now there's a thought )

I'm sure that all the Caterhams will be stopped long before we arrive on the scene! If the route is similar to ones I've used before there won't be plod in evidence - they tend to stick to major routes - one of the reasons we dont!

Well if there's going to be lots of Caterham bait out it would be rude not to join. See you on Sunday.

Good run down to Goodwood this morning, met up with a gang in the Wickem square, (I was in the E36 M3)Lots Thumbesup to the guy in the MPV that got caught up in the last stage, he kept up a good turn of speed. Sorry for having such a wide M3 on the twisty bits, being samwitched between a bunch of Lotus kept me sharp on the brakes, the Lambo sounded awsome, so did the 355, looking forward to the next one

Hi John

Good to meet up again with you and everyone else! Shame the Caterhams slowed us down a little - but god knows what the front of my car would have looked like if they hadn't! The front of my car is now mainly white with the odd fleck of blue...

Had a little fun chasing a 360 after Goodwood - in totally the wrong direction and then saw some friends in their TVRs going the other way (when nearly back in Winchester) and ended up following them all the way back to Goodwood!!

Great day. Hope to see you next time.

Hi normalbloke! You must have been one of the leading Caterhams - I overtook half of them and then pulled over to let them regroup and film the convoy as it went past...

Glad you enjoyed it and we appreciated being shown an interesting route!

Hi Tyrone,

It was me with the 355 and the camcorder. Film isn't brilliant - quite shaky not surprisingly... A bigger probelm is that I have no idea how to get it from camcorder to computer! I will try this weekend and see what I can do. Also need to be a little careful - there have been prosecutions lately based on footage from Youtube etc...

Hello Chris,if you are unable to load your film onto the net,what are the chances of you putting it on dvd and selling it for a small fee to interested parties?(police excluded)A great morning of fun driving by the way! Well worth getting up early for!

Hi

Glad you enjoyed the drive - it was good to see a Countach in the rear view mirror!

I've never even saved anything onto DVD from a camcorder - but I'll see what I can do this weekend. Don't hold your breathe for a great video - I have only seen a little and it was pretty shaky...

Chris
