If this meet is anything like Charlie Whiskey's route back from NM6 (which was much better than the somewhat disappointing NM6 itself!) the Tour of Derbyshire should be a corker!
If your name is not already down, make the necessary arrangements now!
Cheers for a great drive back Chris. (You couldn't shake off the Clio though!!!)

Chris, a poor excuse if ever I heard one!
The Clio suprised me actually, I had never taken it over 5000rpm before the meet. (wasn't run in) Over the last 2000rpm, right up to the shift-light, it's really explosive. Grips well in the wet too!
The aforementioned old git took about 1/2 a mile to overtake a push bike & then sat at 15mph in a 30mph limit - Muppett!
Slight change of plan for Sunday... wrx is no longer coming, he has had his orders & has got to go out for a meal with Gem & her mate. (hahahaha!) neil_wrx can't bring his car anymore, due to a slight coming together with a Rover 25 - not his fault I'm told. So he is now co-driving for me in the Clio.
See you all on Sunday!
Cheers

*Now with added Va Va Voom

Hi!
Please put me (& Mrs GM) down for a place.
I only picked up my car a few weeks ago (1997 model)and it needs some exercise around the countryside!

Excellent Banshi,
Hey, I aint malicious, just downright evil
Sorry, crossed wires, just mentioned that I THOUGHT you might head off that way.
So I'm not malicious or evil really, just paranoid
Anyway, have you seen what I've just posted for you, ye Lancs lad!!

<B>Would anyone be offended if I turned up in a Skoda? By then it should be run in, nodding dog installed, picnic rug on parcel shelf, a nice thermos of tea and some sarnies all ready to go. Actually it just needs some exercise and its better than driving aimlessly around on my own trying to find some decent roads.[/quote]
I need an email address to send you the start details, mail me on
