JamesC Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I had a great day too, good route and well organised Aron Get the vids up! you were to busy posting H My mate took over 600, enjoyed the playing on the way home with Kevin and Gaz, 160 leptons I think We came back over the 69 and got stuck behind the slowest lorry in the world followed by lots of cars. Got passed eventually, when we were nearly home though there was a nice RS4 wanting to have a bit of a play, 112 leptons i belive I let Suprafly take over from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Huntley Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 It was interesting to see the plume of feathers fly up after each encounter. Never saw any on the road so assuming they hitched a ride in your bumper! That Volvo driver got a little upset with you overtaking him! Never seen a volvo go so quick and handle so well, he was right on the limit! And I was intending to take the drive home easy to give the car a rest! Kevin they were on a suicide mission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bjmsam Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Thanks Aron for organizing such a great day out and extending the invitation to GTOUK. The scenic route was most enjoyable in the company of so many fine machines and capable yet sensible drivers. I look forward to better weather next year!

Guest Suprafly Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Yeah great day aaron, superb outing, looking forward to next years run already. Weather could have been a little better, especially on the run up to the Hartside summit which was a bit treacherous, what with next to zero visability due to driving through a cloud, shame as theres some breathtaking views from there, still the weather retreated by the time we got to Alston and was fine for the rest of the day. Did anyone else notice the 'welcome' sign at Alston? It said 'Welcome to Alston'.....'please d i e slowly' Someone had taken the r and the v out of drive.
