Nice run out, if a bit chilly.

Good to see some old and new faces! :tu:
Atom 4, Clio v6, & some other cars obviously.

Sorry I had to bail out early, but what a great little jaunt.

Sensible 30mph through sleepy villages interspersed with more energetic warp drive engagement between!

In space no one can hear you scream.

Thanks for organising, nicely chosen route between Peartree and Caffeine and Machine.

Not all club members are the full ticket...

It was Nice to meet a few of you today. Alan, sorry I didn’t get chance to say hi, I spotted your car with the paddles, next minute you’re leaving the venue. Amazing turn out.
Great route from Peartree to C&M.
I’m not sure why I was so surprised with the enthusiastic driving from A-B, why else would ANYONE buy an Atom? Not sure how you beat that experience on 4 wheels.
Loved it!!

Oh, you can tell I’m a newbie! The Atom in front of me kept doing a funny wave, I assumed it was an ARIEL thing, so kept doing it back, 25 waves later, I realised he was telling me my indicator was on!
You’ll all have to bear with me.

Great run out today. Thanks Ian and all.
Think I met everyone, but whose was the white framed atom with red panels ?

Looks like a great turn out - just a bit far from Cornwall for me!

Hi Graeme - that was the one sold by the factory a few weeks ago I think? Great spec and colour choice.

Just want to say a big thanks to [mention]GraemeW[/mention], our newly appointed events coordinator (https://ariel.club/who-is-graeme/) for making today happen - even if you did arrive 1/2 hour after the rest of us Graeme. Hope you get your supercharger soon and it fixes your SatNav ;-)

2019 has started!

Thanks. It was Bod and Ian who did the route and C&M so a big thank you for them. I was just helping. Great to see so many cars out.

Getting delayed at the PearTree roundabout did relieve me of the pressure of trying to keep up the 3.5Rs

Hi Graeme

That was my new toy. Managed to say hi to two or three people but you guys don't stand still for long. Hopefully I'll get more chance to shake a few hands next time.

Sorry I missed you James. Next time. Just love the colours on you car. Paul Jones had a car like that. Did you buy it from him? I have the same colour panels, but wish i picked the white frame also
