Barry, sorry, no pictures from me.
I've got an expensive camera and then I begrudge paying top dollar for genuine spare batteries. So I bought a cheapo copy of eBay and it let me down on Sunday. Just like the cheapo flash card that let me down at CLM.
I'm such a cheapskate.

'Twas a good morning out though. As has been observed above, we must ensure it's not the last road trip for the season.
Thanks for buying my breakfast Bert. I'll consider it my birthday present.

Good to also meet John in his white Carrera CS, down from Weybridge.
What with Bert in his impact bumper, things are slipping. Not just early cars now. If you let standards slip any further there will be people in 993RS's wanting to join us.

we are the flexible flyers

again have to say it was a cracking drive & nice to see everyone again, following Mike was just brilliant on the way down, really awakened the senses, visually Mike's car is stunning on the move and ooooh that intoxicating smell you get following a mfi car

Thanks for the comment Bert, i guess we could call it backdated noise on my engine

oh I had no idea it was Paul's birthday, sorry Paul, many happy returns

it truly was Mike

- i seem to remember getting a bit out of shape on a couple of occasions

having led the blast back with Darren and Gav I now realise it's much harder to be be up front than to follow. great fun though

good to see you all, and as Darren says let's keep an eye on the weather and do our own 'DDK breakfast' run. perhaps London to Brighton

you mean the neat unburnt fuel being thrown out the back which accounts for the 12-16mpg when pushing it!
