That'll be me Salsa !!

I couldnt belive it ! twice & on the same bit of road too !!

was on the way (& back ) from Wales for a dirty weekend, the roads there are AMAZING ! twisty, windy, narrow, long 180 degree curves, wide as a bucket & not a copper in sight !

I've seen you at the S.E. Meet too , so next time I'm there (not this coming one I'm afraid) I'll say HI !

nice seeing you & the Scoob... (yes I cold hardly miss it !)

lol
cool, it was on the M42 though wasn't it, not the m5?????????


saw you in my rear view mirror on Monday, i said to salsa Iain (in my the passenger seat)...i think thats the same green Scoob we saw on the way to Pontins on friday.......merengue andy in the back was a sleep so he didn't notice ya!!!!

how strange was that?????????????
your car sounded nice.......you have no big Zorst though!!???!!!

still looks good too withthe low spoiler!

i was tryin to keep between 65-70mph.......as the journey down was so windy i had to keep 80 up to make any head way in the high winds!!! hence used 3/4 of a tank of fuel!!!
coming back kept it steady and used just 1/2!!!!

Phil,

yeah! bloody excelent! not sure where it was .. M42/54/5 somewhere around there !!
the first time I'd actually missed the M5 turning, so was total fluke seeing you! - but couldnt miss yah! :-)

it was ALL v.v.v.v. strange!!!

actually got a ScoobySport BB on there .. but probably a bit dirty after the weather & lots of miles! & yeah - it even sounds great in the car .. although still quite quiet! specially when cold.

God knows how many tanks I used .. too much probably .. but I've given up looking !!! was thinking you were on a 'save fuel' drive - made me think for about 1/2 a second .. then I put my foot down again !!!!

Tnx for the compliment about the low wing - they DO look good - but seriously want a WRC (RB5 type) on there... soon hopefully!!

shame about Andy being asleep ... lazy boy! (no - I said LAZY !!)

Andy is an old git at 40 though!! he slept most of the day at the salsa weekend! but we were dancing no-stop till 3am etc!


I thought your car had a 'sound' to it!
could you hear mine?????????

we missed the M5 turn off too!!!! then missed the turn off for M42/London...as we wanted to get to the M1/j21 to get back up the a46/M1 j23a..and not the a52 M1 j24!!


Iain was map reading!!! lol say no more! and he drives for a living!! lol

Cool


Yep, my passenger was navigating too (better not say anything or she might read this!!!)

sounded like you were on a complicated route too me!

Cant really remember about your exhaust, as I has my music up & as you were only doing about 65-70 it probably wouldnt have been too loud until you booted it a bit more anyway .. sorry mate! next time I'll hang the tape recorder out the window with the misses.

Hopefully c u next time your down to the sussex meet (u were there last time werent you!?!)
