Big thanks to Chris for organising another great day out and putting on the sideways show, shame I had to bail out at the pub but still managed to get the run over the range.
Glad you managed to get home ok Lee, bit of an expensive day . Dar your getting a bit of a reputation for missing these days, got a phone no. for AA if you need it
Roll on the next one, hopefully over Xmas.

Pete

Great video, one of those silent-movie types with a lovely soundtrack in the background; the only bit of voice-over being right at the very end of the last one, a quick "Wooooooh!" if I'm not mistaken?
Presumably this was added as you saw the end of the road dissappear and then reappear 6 foot to the right!!!

Ta muchly to Chris Garner for organising this, had a great time and proved that Sports CAN keep up with turbos

Only downside was my puncture, meaning I had to drive 50 miles back at 50mph on a lovely yellow space-saver jobbie - must be a hallmark of the runs - a sport has to get a puncture each time. N_W_S on one of them, me on this one, Dude! - you're next
It did at least mean that I did a very nice slide around a corner when it went

Still at least I wasn't the only one who got humiliated, thanks to Mr Garner's engine-running-keys-in-ignition-all-doors-locked episode at the reservoir

Also congrats to the other Mike for ringing that bull. (Those who were there know what I mean, those who weren't are probably concerned )

Anyway, top day. Will try to post some pics up later, as I'm sure will some of the others.

Would have liked to put a username to each car, let me know what you were driving and I'll update the page to suit.

Thanks to Chris for organising.

Sorry I had to depart at Llandovery but I had had to work quite hard to get a pass from Mrs.H.......... 2-year old with a broken arm and a 10-day old baby accelerated my return home.

So that we can put cars to names, as regards the ?????????? on the link above for the black STi with the "SCOOBY" plate - its me.

Roll on the next MWR.

Cheers,
Matthew.

Cool

Just wanted to say thanks for making us welcome (and for Chris for organising it), both myself and the girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

If anyone is interested Ive posted up some of the photos that we managed to take along the way, also got some short in-car video clips.

Get them here ..

Thanks again, already looking forward to the next MWR (thats if you'll have us ).

Cheers, scoobyGLx

Right, just had the tyre repaired for the princely sum of £1.50

As we suspected, it looks to be a bullet casing that caused it, so it is at least a reasonably cool way to get a puncture

Will try to post a pic this evening

Scooby GLX - Nice in car footage, had to turn my speakers down though, you need a bigger amp for that car of yours, not much can compete with that exhaust note

Mathew - have updated site, where did you purchase the Subaru sun strips and rear lip from? You don't drive an Elise as well do you? There's always an M Hammond on Bookatrack, maybe a distant relation.

phd Limped home on fumes, forced to put in £40.41 of SU for 205 miles = 15.9/gallon
