Just got home myself and agree with colin; It was an excellent weekend. As soon as the gallery is set up I will post my pictures.
A few of the many personal highlights for me were:
A few of the many personal highlights for me were:
- Unexpectingly hooking up with Simon at Keele services
- A cool Bulmers or two whilst cleaning the car on a sunny Friday evening
- My wife, Sarah falling in love with Russo's rear spoiler and kept bending my ear that she now wants one
- Definitely seeing a stream of Vee's in front and in my rear mirror whilst driving through the Lakes
- Having to reverse down a bramble track to let 3 tractors pass
- A dog standing the the middle of the road
- A wedding party paying more attention to the Vees than the bride
- The many head turning moments along the way especially through Ambleside
- Having a brief 3 lane Top Gear moment with Naz and Simon of the M6 only to be left standing as they were having a race
- Good food, good beer and excellent company
- And finally.... being pulled on the journey home for doing 106mph!

The Bill was sitting in Cannock services on the M6 toll and he said they noticed me blatting it a bit as I overtook a bumbling limo by the fuel station and thought he'd give me a follow. On he's car speedo I was slowing down from over 110 but the computer thingy had me at 106.... He was really nice about it and said that he would give me a ticket with a fixed notice of 3 points and £60 fine. He said that Staffordshire police officers perfer to give a fix penalty and keep poeple out of court, but it all depends on what happens when I send off my license. It will be up to them to decide on whether to issue a court summons or not. Fingers crossed! I knew that chuffin noisey exhaust would get me some unwanted attention one day....!

Other than busting my gearbox was an awesome morning/day/night.
Great scenery and driving roads. Fantastic company and loads of good moments: confused dog in road, Nas crossing the river, meeting psycho the rapist and Danny, tractorgate, the epic motorway blat to Grieves Park, Matt waking a whole village up following Phill's detour, bloke falling off push bike, mossy's near miss with the keep left sign, Nas proving a ph2 can out pull a ph1 in 3rd, coach trying to kill some vees, poor Audi A1 driver getting mobbed by vees from all angles, tractorgate etc etc
Can't wait till next year. Big thanks to Matt for organising it and for Phill for co-ordinating it :approve: :approve:
