Yes, we're just meeting at 0515.

16 miles at 77mph and you can do it in 15 mins, including waiting for the lights at Winnall and J2.

I'm in 2 minds. As the weather looks better, I will more than likely bring the R8. The neighbours will love me starting it up at 4.30 tomorrow morning.

I'd hazard a guess at some time between 0645 and 0700

Depends on a number of things

Ha ha, that’s my concern as well, living in a semi, with integral garage, but hey ho, my neighbour is a nob anyway, so I’ll more than likely remote start the beast a couple minutes before handrofl

We're going through the gorge twice so I'm sure we'll have the opportunity to recreate something like this smile
