Kent BBQ (Sun 7 Sept)

[Podie]

Big thank you to the North Kent / London doo-bury lot... NCS and Lady Topaz for inviting / putting up with a minor gatecrash effort from the Mid-Essex contingent!

Had a lovely "pootle" over to Kent... and even managed to catch a glipse of the scenery this time over - looked in my mirror at one point to see Seasider desperately trying to catch us up; flashing his lights all the way!

BBQ was good... although by 3pm I was STARVING! Weather held off which was lucky...! (you're a lucky man there Nick!).

Went for a bit of a convoy round some of the lanes (bloody horsebox).. and apologies to the driver in the Cerb behind me... hope you weren't too close behind when I had my sideways moment ..!

Oh... and the Dartford Tunnel is worht the money... isn't it Griffy?

[ncs]

Glad you had a good day, I think we were lucky with the weather, & hopefully the food was worth the wait.

I think we had 35 TVR's come & go during the afternoon , so not a bad turn out.

The drive afterwards was great fun, I think the horsebox was being driven by the bloody horse, but we got past him in the end.

Ended the day on a bit of a downer when my fan belt self destructed on the A20 at !!!mph. Ended up being carried home on the back of a recovery lorry...bummer!

Big thanks to Les & family for hanging on with Carrie & I for the recovery truck to arrive. I wouldnt mind but it was a fairly new belt fitted in November!

Despite that, had a great day & thanks to you all for coming, see you at Brighton Speed Trials on Saturday.

Fun? It was a blast! And no horse box for a couple of us .

I hope there weren't any stones at the end of the layby Griffy. Apologies if there were, my foot slipped a bit .

Yep great day, good food at the pub, great view in the rear view mirror on the way home, a bit awkward trying to keep us all together though still I enjoy the little blat

Always the way..! Been over to Kent twixe in the last few weeks... quite a nice run out in the S to be honest (Dartford Tunnel is the real incentive!)

Must have a next time!

[Paul V]

Will do, nice looking S you have there.

Yep Dartford tunnel is nice, had to take the Griff to work today through Blackwall, mmm what a shame

Thank you... still needs a little bit of work IMHO.

Blackwall Tunnel...

I had fun too, didn't stay for the convoy though, gutted when I didn't win the CDL track day. Still never was very good with games of chance, probably why I didn't join the end of the convoy.
