Yep – great to see everyone and cracking turn out. Wish I’d brought my camera and got a shot of the car park line-up en-route, if anyone has got a good picture of this can I have a copy ?

Yep have to admit the sound of you Warwickshire lot rumbling down Beller way was impressive.

Yep, another top Sunday of TVR terrorism and topped off with the now customary Sunday roast (thanks again Dom).

Dave, can the mailing list support an archive of the photo's that were taken ??

Hope to see everyone again this Sunday even if I have to go Mondeo power.

Phil,

The mailing list is the wrong thing for archiving photos really, a web page would be better for that.
I've got a bit of space if people want to send me the pics I'll publish them and send you all a link.

I can try and index it if we get more of these type of events.

We have had a great time over the last month. Thanks Tony for organising the convoy, perhaps we could go a bit faster next trip, I'll have a word with
'mad' John! (only kidding!), great company, look forward to our next sedate drive.

I was planning to go on the rolling road day with the Midland Car Club until the chance of Rockingham tickets came up.

PS. Who's Dave Potter?

Yep, the TMS thing was fine. The free food and drink helped. No plans for Sunday until a friend of mine rang yesterday. He'd been given a bunch of tickets for Tuscan Challenge at Brands and he's put a couple aside for little old me.
I know there's been a stink kicked up over the schedule being messed around, but it'll still be a jolly old day out. There's a special parking area set aside for TVRs. Is anyone else making the slog South?
I'd hate to go alone.
The wife is looking over my shoulder while I type this - still not sure if I should take the tickets or let him give them to one of his customers who wouldn't know a Tuscan if it fell out of a tree and landed on his head!
What a dilemma!

Mrmaggit,
If you are not too far away(or if you are) you would be more than welcome to join the Warks group next time we are let out!

Pete,
I am not far off my 3K, and its a fair distance, but if you have a spare seat.....I do have a funny greenish/blue coloured shirt.

Tony,
Stop rubbing mad J's face in it let it lie, have you made your mind up about Monaco?

I reckon 'The Bollocks' will beat 'Mad' John on the 0-60, what do you reckon Tony? One small problem the car is stranded in garage, as someone has nicked the drive!

What's the chance of a damn good piss-up one of the nights?
