See you all bright and early in the morning. Looking forward to it, seems like ages since we have had a run to a breakfast club.

Jeez this has almost got too busy now?

I dont get why, turning up at 8:15 ish I got directed into the tarmac "Tesco" carpark, and then about an hour later they were directing traffic through crowds back onto the circuit??

Good run out, thanks Julian. As usual fell asleep mid F1! Even managed to keep up and not embarrass myself with you guys 500+ bhp machines. Had to put my hat on down the A3 as it was a bit cooler than I thought!

Really enjoyed this mornings run, thanks for planning the route Julian. Was good to meet some new faces.

I know what you mean edc, but the pace was good and I didn't feel out of my depth in my family saloon.

Great day clap but as usual Amos Jobsworth on the door applied "today's theme is..." with logic that was as far away from Mr. Spock's that it could be. It seemed to be getting down to whether a sunroof was a soft-top and some hard tops made it in yet some were destined for the muddy field! mad

Great little blat all thanks for organising it Julian :-)

Pete sorry about the tractor! I'd seen it over the hedge row and thought 'nah cant be THAT big!'

Was a sight coming up through the twisties out of the mist with a GT3 RS and a GTR sledge hammering through it with xenons-a-blast behind.

Must go for a pootle again soon smile

It's ok, I do the same. I only realized when I got home and looked at this thread.

Was a good run for sure!

The tractor was quite amusingly wide but I figured if the M3 and GT3RS fit through then I could too wink

Need to clean the mud off my footmats now mind you after parking in the field...

For those who care... I managed 15.7 mpg from that run! Quite impressed with that haha, seems the car is almost as efficient when hooning it as it is when pootling around like a granny (which obviously means I should just hoon it everywhere to save time)

Mine had reached the economy figure of 21mpg as I arrived home. I was rather impressed by that especially given its normally running at about 22mpg. It doesn't help that the exhaust modification encourages you to floor it everywhere!
