| A few more photos Right here we go  ------------------------------------------------------- Now what on earth is Tigger doing?...  ------------------------------------------------------- He seems happy with the result.....  ------------------------------------------------------- Ahhhhhh, another twirly whirly    ------------------------------------------------------- On the way down to Woolacombe  -------------------------------------------------------   ------------------------------------------------------- Oooooh look! The twirly whirly strikes again   ------------------------------------------------------- Awwwww  A BRTTS match made in heaven. Just admire the wonderful weather and scenery   -------------------------------------------------------  We're all parked up there somewhere  As you can see, we're loving every minute of beutiful English summer weather  ------------------------------------------------------- Surfers obviously loving it. The guy to the left with the yellow / orange board looks like he's having serious fun  ------------------------------------------------------- Guess who?  ------------------------------------------------------- A bit further up the coast, a quick stoppie for admiring the scenery.   There. A rather enjoyable day despite the weather and the slowish Citroen van thingy which held a few back on the drive up Forlock hill

| Don't talk to me about the citroen van heap of junk - I thought that it would never make it up Porlock hill  It was not fun being stuck behind that abberation - max 20mph in 1st gear all the sodding way up   I had to drive so slowly behind it that the poor SMIC could not cope with the lack of cooling air and by the time I got to the top the intake temperatures were sky high so the ECU cut all my boost - I was reduced to driving a naturally aspirated car for the next two or three minutes until the temperatures reduced sufficiently for normal service to be resumed Overall it was a good time (despite the rain and fog )The trip back along the M5 was interesting, Xav went awol, Tigger and Fowlerwelsh reached some v.rapid speeds and the odd BMW was baited

| Shame about the weather. not meaning to rub anyone's nose in it but I live by that kind of "scenery" and I get a little used to it sometimes.  North Devon coast is very nice though, and Exmoor is very pretty.Here's to getting my car back and working a.s.a.p

| Hello you lot just got online and BRTTS (Rain) was lovely nice Pub lunch at woolacoombe (Fowlerwelsh couldn't wait to be served) driving through the lanes after woolacoombe was nice also with them being so narrow and loads coming the other way suddenly realising they wont get far with a convoy of skodas coming along (I bet that bus dint expect us also) Porlock Hill and Lynton and Lydmouth where lovely and I tryed any excuse to get everyone to turn round and and run them again 1st attack of porlock hill had a nice 20mph run up along the flat for about 3 miles (clear the road in front )Oh yeah Jason just to ensure you have enough warning the next BRTTS is August 2006, If your car will be ready on time I was only driving slow on the Green road (because on my map it said it had loads of Speed Cameras |

lies.... all lies...... Although it was funny when tigger got side by side with me to wave or yell abuse, but then when he attempted to overtake me......he didn’t realise i had a "mod" under the bonnet... so i waved bye bye to tigger. leaving him   Could i just compliment all drivers that went yesterday on their driving and sensibleness.... Every village or town we arrived at, we would all stick to the 30 or 40 limit, and even on national speed limits we would "try" and stick to 60mph. No stupid overtaking manoeuvres.... Just a good day out. Even on the motorway we generally stayed in convoy in the "slow" lane. (waiting for Xav). Ive seen some other "car enthusiast" groups on the roads before and they have been driving like tw@s. nice one guys n gals Last edited by paxton; 14-08-2005 at 18:04. | |

 ) To echo Fowlerwelsh's comments - everyone drove sensibly and it was a really good day out. I even managed to get my Octy to average over 30mpg this time Trip stats: Distance: 235 miles Time: 6 hours 35 mins economy: 35.3mpg (Porlock Hill did not help this though )average speed: 35.5 mph
