Here's some more pics from today....the action shots are courtesy of my other half ! Chris's stunning M3, not a lot else to say about it MG's all lined up, prior to take off at Bowburn services.......oh that reminds me, must apologise for going through the petrol station with Mark the wrong way to get near the front of the grid Anybody know the guy in the 3 series saloon? He must have felt safe parking with the 'flock'. E46's all lined up, quick hide before our lass spots us. (Chris, she's called Sarah) Chris on route, stopping to pick up a sheep to substitute for the lack of a coat, cant' beat a live woolly jumper....(apparently).....think I would rather have the dog hair than wool everywhere Rhys spots a couple out walking and goes for 20 points. Would of got to Whitby sooner but could'nt get past this M3 Trying to take the M3 on the inside into the right hander....only joking Chris Follow the leader over the moors.....couldn't hear the cd for the 'rasp' from Chris's motor We had a sneaky suspicion that we were been followed by a 320Ci....could this be the missing car ??? Hhmmm tried to shake him, but he's still there Hi there All parked up at Whitby after been stung for 2 quid to park on the mud.....if I wanted to park on the mud I would of got an X5.....oh they're not meant for off roading either ??? AAaahhh, I think they want to be alone together Oh look at the mud on my bumper! Well guys, thanks for an excellent day out, me and our lass really enjoyed it. Hey Chris, we had a few good (dare I say risky) over taking moves on the way towards Loftus Can't wait for the next one, wouldn't mind doing Northumberland and Holy Island. I won't be able to make the meeting this week, I am off to Spain on business in the morning and wont be back until Friday. Will try and make the next one. P.S. Chris, the car is all washed and cleaned, ready to come out and play next weekend

Excellent shots there Cliff! Thanks to the missus for the action shots too, I'm going to take a copy of those. First time I've ever seen my car with me actually in it! Leans to the side eh... Sheep what sheep? I wondered what the fluff was on the underside... I wish I'd have had a passenger in with me because I could have got some cracking shots of your shiny 325 behind me, looked very nice indeed. You're right about the overtaking too. I pushed it to the redline going past the bikes on the way up past Boulby, but it felt good so hey it must have been okay! (Hmm!). I had a great little jaunt up Saltburn Bank too, a bit of traction control versus tyre squeal round 3 bends and two auto-blip-downs - much fun! Loved the day, loved the company, can't wait for another. I'd second the Northumberland and Holy Island idea too - great trip, particularly if we take the coast route up to Seahouses etc.

Northumberland and Holy Isle, think our lass would be up for that, moans on about wanting to go...
Great pics by the way, missed the walkers - though Kerry got them with the door on the way by |

Yes, I'll give that a go no problems. I think Mick had posted a planned North Coast Event, but we were waiting for firmed up details on it. Any news Mick? Are we in a position to pursue it? We could have a 'variable joining run' a bit like today with Rhys joining at Helmsley. I think we were VERY lucky with traffic today too. We didn't hit any delays at all and that's quite incredible when you consider it has been the best weather so far this year and even Whitby was quiet by Sunday standards on it's roads (other than the Land Rover on the swing bridge who seemed to take an age to run 5 people over). I'm certainly ready for another event soon. |

Good job no-one used the malton road to go to Whitby, it would have been jammed solid, back roads are much better and more interesting.

Jesus, I'm having a bad name/facts day!!!! Sorry about that! But hey, if it takes a ring to do it...well why not! Anyway, living in means almost the same these days. Just remember that they whinge 4x as much later in life - and they do too. Mine has just told me I haven't helped in the house today? Huh? Telescopic arms? Where do I get those from? |

I'm just amazed we didn't get lost. Janet is not known for her navigation skills! I was surprised how many chavs had come to Whitby. Robin Hoods Bay would have been more salubrious. Holy Island or the Lake District would be good venues. The Durham Thoroughbred Wheels website is www.dtw.cjb.net Keep an eye for further events. I think I need an E30 325 auto cabriolet . . .

Andy what time did you leave Whitby? I waited until just after 4 and then followed Rhys out. Coasting, I had a walk into Whitby for a ice cream, only spent an hour down there before I had to tackle them stairs again, phew. I am up for a drive out to the Lakes or Holy Island, soon soon Not sure if I can make the meeting on Wed, I am on nights Anybody seen a blue 320ci |

Was after 5:00pm. Still quite a few MG's about (and the Max Power lot).

I have to say hats off (or hoods off) to Andy and Janet for leading our line. We didn't take a single wrong turn (or not to my knowledge) despite the best attempts of the MG lot to lose us at every opportunity.
Unfortunately Whitby has become a recognised Cruise and Max Power hot spot. You usually meet them in the queue to get over the swing bridge, revving their sewing machines with bass booming out to such an extent you could be forgiven for thinking the Endeavour had fired a few broadsides (if only it did!!!).
Both get the thumbs up from me.
We don't have to wait for them to organise something though do we? Perhaps an idea for the NE Meeting to try to get something set up.
Nah, we'll just chop the top of your 635Csi with a pair of cutters borrowed from a local fire station? Trust us do you?
