Good to meet you as well Si! Like you said, another one soon + a big greasy fry up sounds great!
As I said, all with 1.4 litres and 32.6 mpg
P.S. When I waved you past your 4200 sounded glorious!! Hope I didn't get in your way!

Hi guys, enjoyed the run this morning and it was good to meet you. I'll look forward to the next time. I was impressed at how well the "Clio sorry!" managed to keep up - good work that man...
Thanks! It's fair to say I had to drive a little harder to keep up with a Tamora and a Viper! As I said, all with 1.4 litres and 32.6 mpg

He he it was only up to that as I was driving like a coffin-dodger on the way back! Was about 27/28 when I was thrashing it.
Tesco must love me!
Take it easy and hopefully have a run again soon

Blimey, I'd love 27 on a run like that! Think I used about 30 litres today.

Oh and top car! 
Cheers Luke; next time maybe I'll get a chance to take you for a quick spin.Cambio said:

Just goes to show that it's more about the man behind the wheel, than what's under the bonnet.rulesthebends said:
Cheers guys for an awesome run this morning! Fine cars, fine weather and good to be in the company of like-minded petrolheads!
Looking forward to getting out again soon (maybe even fitting in a spot of breakfast?!)
See you all soon
Cheers guys
Si
Yeah, breakfast would have been good - especially as we went past a place just before Burley that reeked of a good old English Fry-Up!Looking forward to getting out again soon (maybe even fitting in a spot of breakfast?!)
See you all soon
Cheers guys

Had a great run down to Seatown afterwards; the wife was driving so it was a bit more sedate, and mostly on the A31 and A35. But I reckon a good run could be cobbled together for that. It's about 50 miles, so adding some windies would up it a tad.
But at the other end there is a superb shingle beach area, quite a large grass car park (my TVR copes OK) and a great pub that does good tea, coffee (BEER!) and food. Or, a couple of miles on to Charmouth there's a cafe for a more standard breakfast.
I'll see if I can sort out a scenic route.

I did have a bit of fun elsewhere as well, while you guys were talking about your cars in the Beaulieu car park and I drove off, I went off down the gravel car park at a fair pace and lifted off to slow down not realising the back would swing round quite as much (only at 15/20mph) and ended up with an armful of lift-off oversteer and drifted completely sideways down the car park!
Completely unintentional as well!
Good fun though! 
P.S. Thanks for the offer Lee, would be good fun!

top marks to all for keeping together 
i did try to slow down at the front ...sometimes! glad we all found eachother at fordingbridge for the n.forest stage. took 40L to do the trip! hopefully there'll be a decent car event soon in the area that we can set up a good convoy route to
n.b. chesil beach drive is a good run too

Hi, may aswell use this oppurtunity to introduce myself as i've been lurking around here for a while now. I've got an MR2 and live in Talbot Woods. Not sure of any PH activity around the area apart from the Elise guys. Would be good to hear from any others in the area.
Cheers, Andy
It's not a black Mr2 Turbo is it?Cheers, Andy

No it wasn't a turbo - it was a silver roadster but i swapped it a few months ago for the Elise in my profile
Cheers
oh right sounds a good swap to me my friend has a type 49 111s and every time I fall/crawl/contort myself into it (being 6'2" and a few pounds too many 
) , it blows my mind!!!
The reason I ask is I see a black MR2 turbo almost every morning and it goes past work doing a nice tschhh, which brightens my day.
Hope to see you around

That'll be Jez then? (or me!!!)) , it blows my mind!!! , perhaps that's why he keeps talking about a s1 exige painted in t49 colours and a civic type r engine with a supercharger bolted on... come to think of it no its because he's a loon, and thats why we're mates

Hey Zed, get out over the weekend for a blast? And back to jessicasvt... No, I don't have a problem with your name, it was merely a question.
Do you really think that is going to endear us towards you...? And yes, you're right I'd struggle to keep up with my big fat mouth and my tiddly clio
Gary, shame you couldn't make the meet, just had a quick look at your car on your profile, looks very nice!

Hey Zed, get out over the weekend for a blast? out both days last weekend for short blasts including quick visit to CanAm club gathering on constitution hill overlocking Poole and the Purbecks - brilliant view and laid-back, happy people to talk to when not oggling big-blocks and aircraft carrier cars. heading to bath sunday 11th morning if anyone wants to tag for part of the way.Edited by zed sump on Tuesday 6th November 18:30
No, unfortunately I haven't been around for a drive 
Been up to Stoke for a friends engagement party and back to my parents for a couple of weekends.
So mega mileage but nothing that fun
Visited all my old haunts back in Sussex though, just a shame I couldn't take my mum's Clio 182 or my dad's 7 Roadsport 140...
Glad to hear you had a good one.
Hopefully we'll be able to make another meet before some people's cars are put away for hibernation!
