You cannot miss the White Hart...
Big Shell petrol station at Poole... 500 yards past that heading towards Leeds. Bang in the middle of the village by the mini roundabout where the Arthington Road heads off towards Harewood or you bear right and up Poole Bank towards the airport and Bradford.
See, I know exactly where it is, have just picked up the Griff resplendent with new carpets, the sun is shining...
BUT THERE'S NO FECKIN WAY ON THIS EARTH THAT I CAN LEAVE WORK THAT EARLY!

Excellent, thanks for that Al.
I'll be coming in from Harewood so sorted that question out for me.
Only problem now is just how do you sneak out of work quietly in a Tiv??
I new I should have come in the double cab this morning...
Ditto.
Nice to meet you all, and cheers to Roger for the route.
Did anyone else notice the Cerbera which was following us from the 2nd pub ?
Highlight for me was getting airbourne (even if it was for miliseconds, in the 350)
Worst point was kerbing front wheel to let a caravan past
must get myself one of those Tuscan's, looked & sounded awesome

Yes, nice to put some faces to names from the forum.
Weather couldn't have been better.
Just need to re-calibrate the rev limiter now for the joys open top motoring. (no blush smiley found)
Thanks for not taking the p155 anyway guys, I was expecting some comment this morning when I got to work.
With a bit of luck I might get out on Sunday solo for CITP2

Thanks Mark for getting it going and Roger for the route. It was an excellent run out.
Sorry Mark if I was holding you up on the way back but my brakes started making a strange noise so I had to back off on the braking a bit. Did you get all 4 wheels off the ground? I think just the back of mine lifted.

Thanks Mark for the invite and thanks everyone for the excellent company.
Yeah, but I lost him coming off Norwood edge
Seriously though, sorry to have held everyone up on the outward leg, you lot certainly showed me clean pairs of rear tyres on the way back from The Wellington. Mark, that 350 *Accelerates* doesn't it
Definitely going to have to fit a turbo to the wedge
Just caught up as you all turned for Pool, and we headed up to The Hunters to round of Mo's Birthday dinner with a leisurely

Great evening out with good company, good food and good er... Diet Coke.
Sorry about leaving you all after the second pub, but my curfew was unexpectedly brought forward following a call to the wife. It sounded fun.
Took a nice pic of the fleet in the sunshine outside the Wellington, will put it up when I can work out how.
