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 ![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Roll on the next one, hopefully over Xmas.

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!!!![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Ta muchly to Chris Garner for organising this, had a great time and proved that Sports CAN keep up with turbos ![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
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![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
It did at least mean that I did a very nice slide around a corner when it went![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
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![Smile](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
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.

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.

Cheers, scoobyGLx

Right, just had the tyre repaired for the princely sum of £1.50 ![Smile](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
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![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
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 ![](http://pages.prodigy.net/indianahawkeye/newpage17/20.gif)
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![](http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/smiley20_ooh.gif)
