philje123 - I wouldnt worry about keeping up with the rest of the pack. They were all very nice and didnt go too fast. I thought I was going to die a couple of times and only kept up because I knew most of the roads. One thing I will warn you about is please remember that this lot all have ABS and you probably dont. I was nearly wearing tigger's Furby for a hat when he suddenly braked. Much as I'd love to come again - My grandpa has taken my Felly down to Gloustershire and I don't think he'll be into coming up for me to drive round some hills. I could see if my dad wants to go in his Octy2 4x4 - but I dont think thats his thing Otherwise I could come in a beat up old land rover discovery. (really couldnt keep up in that) Have fun Bos

| Oooh but i do have ABS... was testing it the other day actually as i realised that i'd never felt it working before so on the quiet private road leading to my work i got up to 40 and pushed hard on the brakes.. sure enough i could feel and hear it clicking on and off and i stopped without a singled sound from the tyres!!! Probably still feel like im gonna die at some point but its all good fun... ive got some new goodyears on and i know what my car can and can't do!!! |

| It will be great to see you and Chris if you both make it to this meet. The cars going back into the garage on Thursday to have some of the repairs rectified after the Prague trip, its turned into a bit of a saga.

| Right, will probably be coming to this, although may be in my dads car rather than my own. Still not 100% though so I'll leave my name off the list of definites for now. |
