Overall and amazing trip with a brilliant car... thumbup

Only once. Although getting waved down by Le Plod, Shady had taken a strategic decision to let me drive in front so that I would get pulled first and interrogated..... My confused efforts of Franglish and Magnus Pike stylee sign language then left Le plod so confused he just asked us to move along.

Shadytree love the car, allthough i would say that it looks identical to mine (only had it 2 weeks) have you got fuse 22 out? the trip looked like fun do you know when the next one is ? I' booked on the www.rabbit-run.co.uk but am up for more than one event next year and if the Hoon goes September again this would be perfect as it won't clash with rabbit run (end April/begining of May).

Craig. The main Megahoon trip usually runs the first calendar week of september. There is talk of it taking in the roads of Northern Spain which should be good. I think Nick is hoping to have finalised the details by late November.
