[detomaso]

Shame I missed this one, mini's laid up in Lincoln while it gets sorted for selling (anybody interested )
Was the run good? Any unfortunate incidents?

Dave, what technique did you use to drive & take the rearward facing pics?

The "old raise arms in the air then click" technique
it's been around since God was a boy but i've modified it a bit

My first meet, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
buffalo - hope you enjoyed the ride

see you all soon and happy new year!

[rviant]

Sheepy thanks for organising another fun day out.

Oggs look forward to seeing the video

It was good to see a few new faces around.

Happy New year to you all

[dimmadan]

agree with the above, good fun run and a blast. Good to meet old and new faces.

Looking forward to the vid

[Sheepy]

Apart from a few flames, the MG seems to have enjoyed her workout. Must get the tank seen to and the exhaust re-bolted, but probably will get the Jag fixed first. Nothing like providing entertainment for the drivers following me eh?

Glad the route went down well, I didn't even manage to take the wrong turning once! Look out for next month's meet in a few weeks.

Thanks to all who came along,

Sheepy

[Buffalo]

littlegearl again, damn my bro for keep messing with the PC!!!

cor first PH meet and a bloody good one at that!

ok, so i didn't get to talk to too many of you guys but i'm quite an unsociable fellow! was happy as a pig in the proverbial just being there amongst some of the machinery!!!

started the day with a car full but slowly lost members as Buff got a go in a Cerbera, thepedster in a Chim... me and timbob were quite happy playing catch up in the Cav though...

although you guys weren't trying i'm happy it didn't embarass itself that much! and 118mph* down the A41 weren't too bad for a car thats the wrong side of a 1/4 of a century old!!!

*did i say 118? i meant 70mph precisely!!!

two downpoints though, loosing you lot at houghton conquest (i think it was) but it meant i got to drive like a hooligan catching you up... and i only got the back end out proper once... :biggrin:

oggs, nice pics... BUT WHERE'S THE CAV!?!!?!?!!?!!

118mph

[tonyrec]

Seriously tho, sounds like you all had a great run....sad that i missed it.

[AJLintern]

Great day out with a varied selection of vehicles, making for a very enjoyable drive
I noticed the Cav having a few traction issues on that damp roundabout Was good fun trying to catch everyone up after waiting ages at those traffic lights
Looking forward to the next one

[biturbo]

Well done Sheepy, nice route.
Shame nobody kept up down the A41

Shame you wanted to race, everyone else was playing.
Congrats for being first to the layby

[stever]

Sounds like it was a great run.

Tried to join you in the wedge but got stuck in a traffic jam on the Aylesbury - Wing Road (presume an accident)at 10.10am and by the time I U-turned and found an alternative route you would have been long gone!!

Next time!

118mph

i think you'll find that my top speed was pretty slow compared to some that were achieved...

i believe i was even overtaken by one of our group when i was doing the wrong side of 110!!!

Paul, what did you get out of your Audi then!?! go on, i wont tell!!!

Buff, said he never saw you when we all hit the bypass, and i replied 'cos you were well gone!!!

i followed the 360 onto the A41 and spent most of it trying to keep up

edited to add: 'tis L'il.G again!
