Don't think Andrew and his Esprit will be able to make it on Sunday :cry: , But I'll be there. I'll probably bring my 9 year old son with me, he loves his cars!

Take it a little easy :lol: !

With the exhaust gasses escaping faster than ever, you've probably gained an extra few BHP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It'll be good to meet you guys though. Nicki won't be coming along, as she says that my driving makes her feel sick :roll: . I expect at least one of the children will be with me, (Two are big petrol heads!)

I'll mail my mobile number to you, in case there are any problems en-route.

Best morning for ages! Great pictures too Oz.

May be we could make a bit more of a day of it next time? We could go to Beaulieu or somewhere like that?

that very much depends on my wife, as she is pregnant i dont want to leave her behind...
but could definately do more next time, and i will try to organise a proper "run" and map, and hopefully we we have a better turnout...

also could start at Newlands Corner (where we pulled in to check petrol leves)

its a good central point.
