Might do. I Have some chores I need to do first but I am definitely going to get Colin some fresh air today, so I may point him in the Rutland direction and meet up with you later.

I thought we all got lost in Loughborough. And Melton Mowbray. Aren't those new Minis quick?

I think a couple of the overtaking maneouvres that I saw had a little to much faith and testosterone and not enough observation, if I may be so bold.

So only the leaders of the run knew the route?

No - we were all given a print out of directions. Trouble is, I can't read directions and drive at the same time, and I'm not exactly a local!

Hi Guys & Gals

Nice to meet you all for a quick to Rutland Water.

Perhaps next time we can meet up and have a cruise instead of hanging onto the tail of that there cruise missile VX220 way to go Del .

I don't know how anybody got lost going to Rutland all you had to do was follow the scorched Tarmac behind the VX .

Good job there were not to many about with speed's approaching warp factor (she canny take it captain) 8.

Sorry about the bad scot's accent there Del

Anyway nice to meet you all even if I can't remember names.

See you all soon Mich Suzy and the yank Phoenix Viper

Yes they are and guilty as charged . I just have a lot of faith in my MINI . Thank you to everyone who turned up and those that didn't - you did miss a very entertaining day that will be repeated next month. Provisional date is Sunday 31st October for the next road testing.
Big thanks to Del (T80RBO) for another great route and the collection of monster flies jammed in my scoop.

Same day as the VMAX

Sounds like I missed a nice quiet Sunday drive?

The VX has to be the weapon of choice
