Being a lovely day I got the yellow 454 out of the garge for the first time in a few months. Some air and a check on the oil pressure and off I went. On the way back on the A31 I cuaght a loverly sounding red Viper with grey centre stripe. As much as he tried he couldnt loose me, probably due to the 3 berks in the outside land who could have but didnt move over. Eventually he undertook but not enough room for me; probably in the C5 but not the C3. When I finally undertook after 3 miles approaching Ringwood the berk at the front had the audacity to flash me when I pulled in front! Presumably becasue the first car on the inside lane was still another 50 yds in front of me he felt I should have not pulled out in front of him! On the dual carriageway in Bournemouth I spied coming the other way a dark green C5 vert with lt. brown top. Not seen this before, anyone know who it was?

Oh Yes.

The Viper used to belong to Paul (chairman of the UK Viper club who comes to the Euro Corvette/Viper meet with us). He part exchanged it at Meridian for a new one and a guy in Bournemouth bought it which is why it is still in the area. The car is lovely and is plenty quick enough to beat a 454 and C5.

The guy with the C5 is also local and is renovating a house on the overcliff near me. His name is Ray.

Pop over next time you are out for a coffee.

Normally would do Rich but went straight from tennis with Ross along to J2 M27 and back and had to get back so Jen could go into Bournemouth - 30 mins late as it was!
