Kent coast dawn raid – 7th November

[Bob M]

Thank you Ben for an excellent little tour around some of Kent's best roads. I'm still living off the cake slice at breakfast Yesterday & the car felt noticeably slower after that!

Lovely to meet everyone & if there's an opportunity to do another soon then count me in.

Such is the level of Ben's commitment to the cause, I caught this unguarded moment of him worshipping the cars...

Haha brilliant – thank you lord for these amazing cars and glorious conditions for an early morning drive out. My kind of Sunday Service.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, glad you all enjoyed it so much. Sorry again to Bayo for leaving before you arrived, but I'm glad you persevered and caught up with us.

Been on a few of Red Devils “ahem”spirited drives in the Audi - great fun, and usually a great breakfast at the garden centre we went to.

The weather was onside for everyone yesterday. It was the same at 'Glorious Goodwood'.
I've never seen so may pheasants with a death wish cluttering up the road as there were in West Sussex.
Self preservation is clearly not part of their DNA.

If you've ever seen a loaded to the max Hercules struggling to take off...

Cheers Ben - was my fault really for turning up late but glad i made it in time for the final drive together to the Hub....that was great fun!

Speaking of Pheasants, and death wish - the chap who's Yaris has an encounter with one - unfortunately by time I got home - my Dashcam footage had rolled over the recording.

Looked like an excellent run and a good turn out of cars, shame to have missed it but enjoyed a lot of great driving roads in the Peak District with my newly acquired steed. Will probably post in members cars soon to reveal all (nothing overly fancy, but special to me). Would be good to have a December / Christmas drive out and lunch somewhere perhaps? Obviously being England it will be raining but hey, some of the greatest races have taken place in the wet

[Liamst]

Looks like a great run, and certainly got lucky with the weather.
Sorry i didn't make it, I went to a firework party and got a bit carried away with time and drinks.

When the alarm went off at 6 it was clear I should not be going out and driving.

Look forward to the next one.

[Tommo87]

Looks like you had a good run.

[seyre1972]

To the Tunbridge Wells chaps - what was the name of the pub we went to for a “coffee” after breakfast ?

[David0040]

Cheers Steve, Pub was The Poacher and Partridge -

Thank you - out with chaps whom live near Tunbridge Wells - and for life of me couldn’t remember name of the pub we ended up in.

I think December is probably a write off for me on the weekends leading up to Christmas and with trying to get a Sunday Service organised sadly. Feel free to organise something with the others though if there's interest!

A few of us went to the Poacher a few weeks back when we went for a very wet evening drive. My not-so-local local, great pub.

[Ben Lowden]

Just realised I never uploaded my other photos, so here you go. Turns out I took quite a liking to Jack's 911...

[Koolkat969]

Yep, me too, i loved that 911SC! Nice learning more about it speaking to the owner.

I am sorry I missed this, as I have always enjoyed the Kent runs.

Question. Who’s is the R8? I thought it might be M4TTi’s, but the plate is different?

Nope that belongs to Adam2922. We'll get out again in the spring and I'll post an update on this thread when I organise the next one, so keep an eye out!

Cool. Sounds like a plan.

[Ocho]

Hello all
Can I jump onboard this thread as that looked like a great day out - I’m also Kent based. A spring run-out would be great fun!

[BlindedByTheLights]

I would be up for joining a run too, unfortunately I couldnt make the last one but it looked good.

[RJH777]

Gutted I missed this but definitely keen on joining the next one when there's a date in the diary!
