Probably in the S world there are "natural, unmodified" cars, certainly my S3 was pretty standard, other models it seems that everyone is "improving"; many cars are decat with different intakes, exhaust manifolds, silencers, engine mapping etc. So the question should start with how many natural, unmodified cars are there out there?

Fair point!
We'll i've got an unmodded 280i if anyone wants to compare. Imagine it sounds exactly like the early S's with the same engine though.

I am interested, I don't have a S so will a Cerbera be allowed to join in?

If I am allowed I won't be able to join you till the Friday night /Saturday morning.

TBH if it runs, I won't turn away anyone. I will ask for small groups to leave at intervals. Also will have a disclaimer for you to sign.
I hope to have chosen (with a little help) an interesting scenic route. Take at your own pace, be it slow or a little more briskly - but keep within the law. The route will be on 'googlemaps' unless someone can transfer to gpx or itn files.

Cheers Han - I'll mail them to you.
Even if we can't run on the day we will eventually run.

Is it worth a detour at Porlock to take in the toll road as we are just coming down the A39? I'm thinking it may well be.
Could some-one do a photo and upload a marked map or similar please.

Hopefully we can run it on the dates, but if not then either reschedule or I'll just give out the routes and you can drive this individually if you wish.

Hi Magpie, I'll PM l in due course to get the route specifics.

Can i ask if the dates are still the same? Or planned to be at least.

Just a heads up in that regard, I'm not 100% sure how it work's but re-fuel is the 3rd Sunday of the month which wouldn't tie in with April 10th or 11th.

Cheers.

Hi Ri

the proposed dates are still to start Friday 9th April morning from the Touchdown Cafe

Obviously covid dependant.

Due to the Boris road map I'm going to postpone the run until we can officially stay in hotels and have indoor pub meals - after 17th May?. If any individual wishes to have the daily routes as they may be able to drive them, then please email me.
