Alan

thanks for a great day sir even if i struggled with the map (not my fault my milage is way out)

and next time can you sow down so we can keep up with you, but on the other hand dont the wife now think i drive slow :)

sorry i had to rush of (got a call from work) i am now in london replying to this (only done about 450 ish today) another round the corner trip

 Superb run enjoyed meeting lots of folk from far and wide, had to leave at the brewery as needed to be back,

Good job plod was office based today as there would have been at least 60 points and £1200 smackers heading the way of the yorkshire constabulary  thanks to Mr Gatso! 

 Stay off the main roads, and drive in your limits.

AsIi am regularly tail end charlie on runs I know that speeds can seem fast to catch up

when the front car is doing a steady speed, On many stretchs I didn't go above 60 yesterday

But that did include the corners....

Glad you all had a good day

Alan
