Last Nights Meeting
Discussion
Hi everyone, nice to meet to all last night. The run out was good fun. (I was the long haired lad from the GT3!). We ended getting lost (missed the turning in Croston!!) and ended in Leyland 5 miles from home!
We were following the Honda, who was following the White 3.2 Carrera (BTW Bob say thanks to the lad who kept slowing down for him, he lost you at the TTLs in Croston tho!) who got lost so 3 of us ended up in Leyland. Was an excellent run, we'll be back next month!

Lol! Having driven said car, i've renamed to accelerator to the adrenaline pedal, the acceleration in 2nd is phenominal. It throws you back in the seat and hurtles you towards to horizon (my only other driving experience is my little shitroen saxo!).

Was an ace run out . . just a shame it's getting dark earlier!
Think Scott'll trim the run down a little for next month and probably aim to set off a little bit earlier.
Good turn out last night, think there were a couple more cars than the last few weeks, does fluctuate a little dependent on weather. Tend to see something new at every meet too which is nice
Did anyone take any pics? I'll try and remember my camera next month . . and hopefully I'll be fit to drive too!

I can believe it, there were a couple of times when he gave it plenty just briefly and I was expecting you to go completely ballistic but instead he just backed off straight away (probably because he'd caught whatever was in front rather quickly...)It was getting a little dark by the end of the run
Hope I wasn't dazzling everyone in front too much, got a feeling my headlight alignment isn't great. I'll have to sort that out and stick some decent bulbs in them if I'm going to use it in the dark very often as they're rubbish at lighting up the road too (Si must have had an interesting ride, passengering with me with a dark tinted visor...)yikes the forum is properly broken at the moment, double post-tastic

Interesting but great fun. Cheers for the ride Dave and it was good to meet everybody else (and have a drive in Kirsty's SC).Hopefully my MR2 conversion will be back on the road soon. Engine came out today so it's all systems go.
Another good meeting, sorry if the last 5 miles or so where not as 'spirited' as normal, but my lights are cr*p and neither Kirsty or me knew the bends well enough to chance it.
Q has 'Sim' stopped smiling yet......think he enjoyed the trip in Alecs Atom!

Only just signed up to pistonheads having read a lot on the forum for many months.
I was the one in the white 911 on the run last night, sorry to anyone that followed me after I gave up having got lost in Croston.
I didn't know about the run out before joining everyone so didn't have much fuel but thought I would have ago with what I had.
Great to meet everyone and see some great cars on what would have normally been a dull evening.
Hope to see you all soon.

Never mind Bob - you're not used to actually putting fuel in your car because it always sits in your garage!! I was the one in the white 911 on the run last night, sorry to anyone that followed me after I gave up having got lost in Croston.
