Hi guys. In commemoration of the 4th anniversary of Ryan's passing there will be a run-out from 9am (body clock; 10am) Sunday 30th October. This is always the day the clocks go back so we are going for a later time this year to accommodate anyone who wants to come across for it. The run usually starts from Nantwich and tracks round North Wales and, if there is enough interest, we end up at GYG karting on the 'EVO triangle'. Anyone in a 'sporty' vehicle is welcome.

1) Ben - Maser spyder
2) Bob - Audi R8 V10 spider
3) Mark - McLaren 650S
4) Paul - EVO 8

I'd be up for this Benny in the 911 as long as I can get babysitters for the two pooches we rescued last week, been doing a few too many miles in the Maser, so it would be nice to get out in this.

2) Bob - Audi R8 V10 spider
3) Mark - McLaren 650S
4) Paul - EVO 8
5) John - 911 Carrera 4 (Subject to Baysitters)

Cheers mate, if you want to come over on the Saturday and stay with us, please do. I think Phil (he owns the indoor firework display venue!) will be coming along too.

Hi guys. Here are the details for Sunday's run;

Departing from Morrisons Nantwich (CW5 5SP) at 9am but remember, THE CLOCKS GO BACK AT 1AM!! Then over to the Horse Shoe pass and a quick coffee at the Ponderosa cafe (LL20 8DR). Then over to the EVO triangle and a stop at GYG karting where we have a reservation at 12 noon for an 'arrive and drive', so bring a helmet if you have one. Be advised; they use decent karts with slicks, even if it's raining! They have in the past let us loose on the track in our road cars if it's heavy rain so there's usually something to do. If you have a radio, please bring it. The more the merrier!

No worries John. Sadly, you missed a great run out, and the run back was even better! See you soon.

Well, that was fun! 8 cars started including two identical Aston V12S Volantes in baby blue and there are only 7 in the world! Light traffic on the way there and some lovely flowing roads to get back into the swing of things. Karting at GYG was fun although I still can't take part. The run home was with one of the Astons and we made getting through traffic an art; instant acceleration and good brakes made light work of Sunday drivers. Just got home having done about 130 miles. Good to meet you Ian, same again next year on the last Sunday of October if you want to join us again.

Excellent day out Ben, pheasant is just on a low gas mark at the minute it'll be nice and tender, spent an hour once I got home removing the last of its inards from the spoiler, had trouble keeping things down when the last thing I pulled out was its heart, had no option but to manually extract it with rubber gloves, what the neighbours thought, it's amazing the damage these things cause it's ripped the fixing out between the bumper and spoiler, taking some of the spoiler with it, god knows what've happened if I'd been doing 100 instead of 90:rofl5: o well looks like a trip to autoshield is coming. I'll be over to collect the x pipe so I'll see you soon

Watch out for the shattered bones in the meat...road kill pheasant is normally full of them...but venison thats another story, but a sod to butcher.

Ok mate, sounds like a plan. Leave the damage; it's called patina!
