Hi all,

Just about to take delivery of some new wheels, and fancied getting out for an early Sunday morning run around our lovely countryside and its great roads.

I was thinking of either 16th or 23rd September and a start of 06:30ish to finish somewhere for breakfast.

Will keep location/route etc. off the forum if that's ok.

Anyone fancy it?

Nice choice for a company hack!

Would be up for a hoon but not a great deal of fun in my current cars - you need to remember to find me that used c63 estate with pp!

Ps assume all still on track with the mrs' slk order?

Ahhh - the Dorset Dawdle - Bob The Planner arranged one many, many years ago when PH was really just TVR's. I've no idea of the route we took, but started out somewhere near Poole very early and about -2C and ended up at Sandbanks.

If you are interested in the route we took I'll drop him a line?

Mark.

Yeah all still on track - think it's due with us around the 25th Sept.

There's a good chance I can get a Black/Black '61 plate' with a PP early next month, it's done 5.5k miles, it's also got the LSD and carbon interior/exterior....sound like it could be a goer?

Thanks for that, would be nice if was a bit warmer than -2c though! I was thinking of starting in the New Forest, so as to pick up the Eastern Quarter and then finish somewhere near Ringwood.

Would you fancy it?

Shall we do the PH thing and start a list?!

Sounds ideal spec wise.

Drop me an email. Just need to do some figures to see if it fits anywhere near my car allowance as was intially looking around for something a little older (59 plate) which worked out ok on deposit/monthly payment/residual.

Didn't I hear that Dorset police have already said that they have nominated that week for 'special attention' ? You have been (fore-) warned.

I may well be up for this.

What's the form, balls out hoon or gentle meander? Or somewhere in between?

I would prefer a balls out hoon, but people may be more comfortable with something inbetween?



Ok, shall we say the 16th then. I'll have a look at an exact route this weekend, although I've got a pretty good idea of where we should head.

Compton Abbas for a bite to eat would be a good shout; when I've got an idea of numbers I'll give them a bell to make sure they're ok for us all to turn up.
