Looking forward to being shown some new routes...havent been along that way for while.

Its the getting out the Exige once in thats the tricky bit...especially when trying not to look like a fool in public.

Also very keen to try the Gallardo out for size....

I regularly fell out of an S1 Elise for a year, gave up trying to get out with any stylelaugh

Thinking something along lines of up sutton bank and end up whitby & then you can head north & I can go south?

Most likely mid to late morning as I don't do early!

Anyone else?

Route sounds good....open to suggestions anyway since its your backyard...

Mid to late morning is perfect (Regularly finding myself in the office for 7, so in no rush to fall out the pit at weekends smile)

As Blot said....Anyone else fancy this?

Might hold on until I've seen the weather for this one, running on some seriously 'borderline' 048's at the minute. New rubber due to arrive on monday.

I can swop you one of my good A048 for a scrubbed one....least you'll have one side with grip.....hang on though that may not be such a good idea..biggrin

Damn - would have quite fancied this, but busy this morning. Don't suppose anyone fancies doing something this afternoon for a few hours ? Short notice I know, so have included mobile number for easy access (ohh-err).

Were you lot travelling northbound up the A1 past team valley at around 1.15pm this afternoon.

We were heading southbound in the missuses anonymous looking Clio, and I noticed a couple of porsches and what looked like a white Integra R on the other side in reasonably close succession.

Great run out guys....really enjoyed it.

Weather was good....even had dry roads up on the moors!!

Good fun having 2 other Exiges there....I need to order a 2bular...
And Stevie's X50 Turbo sounds like thunder and certainly shifts!!

Lasting memory will be chasing Blots Gallardo back from the coast as the sun was setting and watching blue flames fire out the exhausts...great fun!

Big thanks to Blot for taking me out in his lambo and making me grin like a 4 year old.....god that things loud!!

Ill stick a couple of pics up later...

(EDITED TO ADD PICS)

About that time we were somewhere south of Scarborough searching for a Shell garage.....I have a feeling the guys with 500+ BHP were running low...smile
