Discussion
As the club/ gathering has developed, we have developed our own expressions, for example..
"To twinpipe it"
This means to attack the road with a ferocity and abandon, never before witnessed in an expensive sports car.
When used in reference to roundabouts, it means to do 3 laps while waiting for the rest of the cars to catch up, exit the roundabout dizzy and confused and a little unsure of the direction you have chosen.
It can also mean "to eat 3 extra large burgers"
"Just1 Driving"
This is to progress slowly and gently, usually under the supervision of "the wife". Just1 driving means you have to "twinpipe" roundabouts and wait for him to catch up.
"Tampax corner"
This is a corner / roundabout in the Purbecks near the sports center where a "tampax" was used to effect an emergency repair, much to the amusement of the local plod. We have yet to understand why a single bloke had a tampax in his Exige.
"Christian"
This is to drive slower than "Just1". You are unable to twinpipe a roundabout while the others catch up, this means finding a layby and having a chat and looking at your watch.
"urgent christian"
put flat spots on all 4 tyres and make those behind wince.
"Andrewm"
To progress with coolness and pace. This is now a redundant term as it is hard to do in a Taxi!!!
"Piooly"
To go so quick in a S1 you think it is some sort of emergency. The kind of quick that makes you think you wont see the guy for a week!
"Jez"
To be too cool for your own good. This can also mean to make a really stoopid piece of clothing look cool.
I am not sure how a "gooby" is refered too. I think it means to verbally harass and threaten chavs and those not paying suitable respect to the cars.
All BoLOX runs will involve food in some way. The run to swanage for a burger, Sunday morning blats always start with breakfast and the off roading activities will kick off with a curry or chinese. After meeting and catching up this is the most important topic.
When you come out with us, this is the basic understanding of what we are talking about while munching breakfast / burger / beer.

Great post gooby! big grin
Glad to hear I am not the only one who goes around roundabouts 3 times! I will have to be more careful after plod told me to stop d**king around on a roundabout on Sunday!
My wife still does not understand why I need to drive 50 miles through Hampshire to buy a burger / paper / milk etc. Will I now have to inform her that I am on a BoLOX run?
Cheers
Andrew

Definitely - always enjoy the threads here, but would be great to meet some of the folks in person - especially before the summer lets up. Let me know when any of the get-togethers or meets happen. Likely I will be left in the dust though - not being the fastest on 4 wheels.
Cheers
Dont worry, you can keep just1 company, or even stay with christian!
Hi guys - I'm back
Like the terms Gooby - coolness and pace. I reckon I can still do the pace bit, just the coolness I might struggle with..
Meanwhile, on the race track, I managed to blow the race car up last weekend - ran all the big end bearings which is proving more costly than I first thought. Dissapointing too, as I was due to race at Gurston next Sunday and now don't have enough time to get it all back together - ho hum.
If any of you guys happen to be in Corfe Mullen any time, please feel free to call in for a coffee - oh yes, I also have a VX220 Turbo for sale, so might be able to give you a run for your money one Friday night...

As the club/ gathering has developed, we have developed our own expressions. Here is an UPDATE. This will help all those who are coming along on Sunday for the Devon Dash to understand what is happening.

"Jez"
To be too cool for your own good. This can also mean to make a really stoopid piece of clothing look cool.
"Beachbum roof"
This is to have the roof off in any temp or driving road. To casual onlookers it has been known to look like a large coat and hat are driving as the occupant is completly wrapped up like an Artic explorer.
"Burger Run"
The evening dash from Bournemouth to Swanage across a great variety of roads to get a Burger from Dino's. Then up to the Scott Arms for a shandy! The highlight has to be the "New Road"
"New Road"
The back road to Swanage. This road has to be driven fast and aggressively. It is a hugely satisfying drive with a great "flow" through the bends.
"Devon Dash"
This is a very long drive to exeter and taking in the sublime A377 then to Croyde Bay to have brunch in the hatch then the incredible roads through Exmoor to Porlock. If the mood takes us then Cheddar Gorge. A day long trip with great guys and big smiles from start to finish.
"Zig Zag"
A zap to Zig Zag Hill to have the most fun possible in 2nd gear (mostly first!)
"Shangani"
To be in the presence of sage wisdom, but unexpectedly to still be waiting for an epiphany.
"Janitor"
To be so laid back you walk on your shoulder blades, to be so cool you could keep a side of meat for a couple of years. Jake is the coolest "shotgun" ever!
"S Works"
Dont wind up, This man goes from 0-FLAME in .2 of a second! Also more fun than a bag of angry cats.
"s160 Time"
If a S160 turns up (either S Works or Piooly) then mad driving will take place. Obscene cornering speeds, mad straight line speeds and at some point we will have to pick on some ridiculously powerful car like a supra. S160's are piloted by the insane.
"Speedyellow"
This is the benchmark. If you are "speedyellow" quick then you are untouchable by anything on wheels. At some point we will have to cross a "speedyellow" with and "AndrewM" It will be a bastard hybrid but for the short amount of time you will see it, it will blow your doors off!
"Just1 Clean"
Just1's car is bright, shiny and polished. At some points it has the lotus dust cover removed, wheeled out of the garage to be polished and cleaned, wheeled back into the garage to wait for the next polish. This obsessive behavior has a very positive side effect. If you are lucky enough to know when he is cleaning (very regularly!) and you park your car close, it will get cleaned as well!
"Lotustuart"
To develop huge cornering velocities. It can also mean to execute tyres in no time.
"minidiva"
Brings the feminine touch to an otherwise testosterone filled club, Also to surprise the hell out of the guys when a girl out drives us. Sexist I know but never the less surprising.
"OrangeD"
The skill to scare the crapola out of the police so they cant chase and catch you. Generally hard to do when you are sat by the side of the road with orange streaks before your eyes.
"Cheekymonkey"
This is to understate things. We could have driven like loons across some incredible roads and be giggling like kids, cheeky will stand there, all cool and say "That was OK" ??????
I am not sure how a "gooby" is referred too. I think it means to verbally harass and threaten chavs and those not paying suitable respect to the cars.
