Who is up for a run out this sunday coming?? Weather look ok, and it might the last chance before the winter really sets in.

Im rubbish with directions so anyone who still has the original Kent Run route from M20 Junction 8 services to Rye would be great.

I suggest a 6.30 start to leave at 7am. Any earlier and it will be dark.

Names and cars here:

Kentmotorcompany - Z4 M Coupe Imola Red

Good idea, I didnt know it was running.

To be honest though, I only fancy 2/3 hours out in the morning.
Have you got a link to the details though, Ill have a look.

I was refering to the run actually, but you're more than welcome to a ride if you want. I wont be going fast though as this will be the first properly quick car I've had!

You could be a passenger on the run; Canterbury to M20 Maidstone services is what, 20mins? The downside is I have a dark drive to Canterbury, unless you can get yourself to the services?

The Z4M would trounce all over it for traction off the line; and anything over the ton you would have it; it runs out of revs at 1.2leptons

The problem is, is that i don't drive. I could always get a lift down to Maidstone Services if i'm allowed(old teenger - 15years)

How long does it take you to get to Maidstone? Justing thinking of times.
Also, do you have a helmet, if not will be bl**dy cold at that time in the morning! I will get a second one eventually, but having just spent almost £2500 more on a car than I had intended, it will have wait for a bit!

Ok so far we Provisionally have:

Kentmotorcompany - Z4 M Coupe
Hugh - Fisher Fury
Rich H - M3 CSL
Jonny5 - Lamborghini Superleggera


Copy and paste the above list and add your name and car to it, if you want to join.

Im still working on trying to get together a route which was very succesfully used in the original Kent Run, it took us from J8 M20 services to Rye, then along towards Hastings, and back towards Kent taking in a little bit of the empty A21.

But Im very flexible and open to suggestion about routes at the moment, so feel free to put something forward. Although I suggest we keep it vague and dont post too many details here. We dont want to be gatecrashed by boyracers etc.
