If it's not too late to join I have a sheddy MX-5 I'd like to bring along, as long as I can finish other things up in time.

My day has just fallen apart in the last 5 minutes - certainly would not wait for a fat Scottish bloke in a Boxster, however if I can get away I will try to catch up en route. What an afternoon…

I’ve just raced to where my MX-5 is kept only to find I’ve forgotten to actually take the keys for it, maybe next time!

Big thumbup to Ben for organising. 6 cars made it to the start.
Nice little run out. A pity about the pants weather though.

None from me I'm afraid. Others may have.
Fortunately the rain fell away by the time we reached the halfway halt.

My luck is holding atm . smile
I managed to refuel just before I got home. Amazingly short queue as well.
So I've got a full tank of V-Power and good to go for Castle Combe the weekend after next.

No worries to those that couldn't make it, rather testing conditions! Was great to meet everyone that came. Sods law that it'll be gloriously sunny all day today. It was pretty dark by the time we got to the photo spot (and was still drizzling) but a few very grainy photos from me.







And this is what it looks like when I normally head out early in the morning, honest hehe



Next time it's raining like that we'll just go straight to the pub! Kicking off a November Sunday morning run here for anyone that wants to sign up https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Big thanks to Ben for organising and was great to meet everyone.
Considering how dark it was at the Photo spot those pictures have come out a lot better than expected!
Shame about the weather, but in some ways it was more fun, and reminds you how capable these cars are even in poor conditions, and the pace was still pretty good.

Cant believe how often i drive roads that criss-cross the route but have never been on half of them!
Anyone have Instagram?

You're welcome! I enjoyed my first proper M2 experience in Ben's Comp, even if it was rather damp.

Yep my handle on Instagram is @ben_lowden, how about you?
