She had to have a lie down after witnessing Chris adopt this beautiful pose, especially for the camera!!
 

Count me in. As you said we had a blast last time round and would highly recommend this to those that like a proper drivers meet!

A few of us had a little meet yesterday at the AV8 cafe, Cotswold Airport. The usual South West suspects but it was great to see some new cars and faces too. The cafe is a little hard to find, plus it was grey, cold and windy... but well worth it as the breakfast (and company) was cracking.

Attached are some photos of everyone getting a good sniff of Craig's car and all six motors lined up next to our mates lovely GTR.

Cheers all for coming out!

Since I first saw this advertised back in September 2014, I've been gearing up to take part in Pure Rally UK which is essentially a scaled down version of the Gumball Rally for the UK.
 
http://www.purerally.co.uk/
 
This involves a gruelling journey of over 1,000miles in just 4 days up and down the UK, broken up by go karting, parties every night and a full team of staff to ensure you're experience is the best it can be.
 

 
Starting from Ace Café in West London on Friday 1st May, we then venture to:
 
Cardiff
Manchester (2nd May)
Edinburgh (3rd May)
and back to London (4th May)
 
Luckily I'll have a co-driver to share some of the driving, but nevertheless it's still a heck of a journey!
 
The car is currently being serviced at Abbey Motorsport to ensure she's all good to go for her 1,000 mile tour. Baring in mind that I don't even do 1,000 miles in a month, this is very different to the norm for my car. I'm have no doubts it'll be a stroll in the park for the GT86, but with the likes of Aston Martin V12's, BMW M5's, Porsche 911's and a bunch of other insanely quick cars, she will be tested along the way.
 
So, I thought I'd make a little "diary" of my experience. I know the guys that run it really well and this is their biggest year by far. But with plans for another 3 UK rallies in 2015, a London to Paris to Barcelona run and possibly an American Rally in 2016, these events will just get bigger and better.
 
I'll be updating this later on in the week with the car all stickered up and ready to go and then making updates along the way (when I manage to...) so you can all keep a lookout for me or any of the other Pure Rally cars over the weekend.
 
I'm doing this with 3 of my closest friends and we've all put a lot of time, effort and money into making sure we do this in style

Nearly missed this. Local for me so see you there.

So Faith and I are at the hotel and started on the red wine!

Sorted I think

Better make sure the Ginger Ninjas are in full affect! 21st or 28th is good for me.

1 x xxl black and 1 x xxl red please.
And 1 more protest at the lack of orange!

Anyone mind if I drop in and join you guys for dinner tomorrow night? Milton Keynes South right?
I should be heading back from fensport after having Keiths Exhaust and Cris' springs fitted and a remap.

Estimated date for return of car 14th Aug. all cleared with insurance. Hopefully no hold ups!
Still a little stiff and a few headaches. Physio booked for the 19th.
Already bored of the Merc! I want my car back!

Great day even without my car
A pleasure to meet some new faces especially those from across the pond.
Thanks Nikndel for the lift. Very relieved my misfortune didn't rub off on you. Although I can't help feeling the misdirection may have been the result of residual bad karma. Don't know what I did in a previous life but I will continue to pay my penance in the Panzer for the time being.

Thanks Keith. I'm ok ish. Stiff neck and some head aches. I think it's aggravated a long standing back problem. But I'm still mobile.
Off to see a physio tomorrow to get the low down.

Its the Dogs Balearics. Keep the centre black and if you really think its too big I'll have it

still in the body shop  Due out on the 13th! 
I'm so bored of the Merc!!

Good news. Insurance company have confirmed that my parking on double yellow lines does not mitigate her liability.
