I'll be on my own as well. There will be plenty of friendly people to talk with.
I may be able to get the Chim working in time for the start, if not I will be in the other car.

Will be there then, Masons Arms car park at 10am then, as far as I can gather.

Hope the weathers nice. Not sure if us latecomers will be able to get the food, but I am sure we can work something out.

Ive just got back from a lovely trip along the milky way - I stopped off at the north pole to spend a holiday


Oh great day - even if the icing on the cake was taken off!


Superb - well done Justin and Alison



Anyone find a green power ranger?
Fraser lost his at the beginning of the day and he had tears - poor little chap - reads OS maps well though

Thanks to Justin and Alison for a fab day out, even if we did have to wimp out half way round because of sickboy. Thanks to everyone who made us feel very welcome, despite not being TVR people. The Caterham enjoyed its first run of the year, and how lucky were we with the weather! And you acquainted us with PistonHeads, no doubt now to become a new obsession! Cheers everyone!

Agreed. The last run I enjoyed the most. I think it was a good idea to hang back and then press on catching up the main pack.

I did notice that no-one (as far as I could see) overtook another 'run' member - Is that frowned upon?

Not sure, but I dont think they would have been best pleased with the Skoda doing it. lol

Carnt wait for the next one, its a shame we have to slow down for the TVR's, but I suppose we better let them come on their own functions.

Not frowned upon but not convoy etiquette

It can get a bit wacky races if everyone is competing for road space
