Andrew.
I hope you've notified your insurance company of these modifications

I check the fuel gauge a lot. The joys of driving a 2.8!
Andrew.
Haha good point!

That's the downside with fairly loud exhausts, you tend to press the right hand pedal a bit too hard at times
Love it

Don't I know it... Drove round to Essex last week, me in the capri and my dad followed in his MR2, both dropped down from 5th into third through the tunnels on the M25

I can't resist doing the same every time I drive through one of the Brynglas tunnels on the M4!

I do that every-time under the fly-over at the Nevendon roundabout.

Stick your 'Supercars', not alot sounds better than a Ford V6 through performance exhausts
Well, it wasn't raining when I left home. If I'd known about the weather, I would have stayed in bed!

Once it's wet, it's wet, so you may as well keep going.....Queens Square meet looking at the time

Yes, then onto the CCI Nationals afterwards. Two shows in one day!
Agree about the rain. There's no point in turning around and going back once you've set out.

A good day out
I like driving early on a Sunday morning, as the roads are pretty quiet
Not usually so good on the way home around teatime though
Are you going to Singleton Park May 1st? The South Wales XROC usually go to that one.
Looks like a good show

Hi Andy,
Yes, I am planning on going to Singleton Park, although it does depend on the weather. As it's held in Swansea it will probably be pouring down. As usual!
Hopefully there will be a good turn out from the XR boys and girls.
Andrew.

The day after Beaulieu, so hope it's dry for both
Pretty sure a few XR's will be there, as they won't do Simply Ford because of it......
