Dont panic m8, Matt Oz is leading a group, others are also splitting off. I will find you at the Tunnel and introduce you to a few faces, most important one being Matt OZ cause he is the leader !!!!!

Gossy,

More than welcome to follow me. It's a very simple route, 80% of which is motorway. Cruising at 85-90 all the way in order to accomadate the "slower" cars in the group.

Look out for the Grey Skyline at the Tunnel and pop over to introduce yourself.

Many thanks guys just one other question do i need a helmet

Richard Askew

Jon - despite what others say YES
I'm a big advocate of crash helmets... even at low speed ie 40 mph sticking yer 'ead through the side window aint gonna be too clever...

TaviaRS

Or hitting it on the door pillar.

Type R

Im with Mr Askew, i didnt wear one last year, then Rich came round with me and explained the reason why (Thanks), not worth the risk IMHO. I will be wearing mine as will my G/f and mate.

100mph + into a tree you need as much protection as possible.

MattOz

I'll be taking mine. Especially useful in the Hairdressers cars eh Rich!
