Weather's pretty good around lunchtime tomorrow, so if anyone wants to go for a run after Goodwood, and then pub lunch, I'm up for it.

Wish I could join chaps but Ginette is out so I need to get back to get the dog out for a run. Will be good to catch up in the morning though.

Sure, Chris. It'll be me, Sven and Bruce if he gets up. Rayners Road SW15 at 6am on the dot. We'll do half A3 and half country roads.

I'm planning to leave Northampton at 4.30. That should be plenty of time to get to you for 6.

Will have to shoot off around 10:30. Need to get back to take parents for lunch. Looking forward to the drive down, and seeing everyone.

Was good to meet those of you we hadn't met before, and see the others again.
Was extremely cold, especially as I don't wear a helmet

Hi, I left a bit early...

Putting faces to names;

Repsol?
Naked?
Yellow that we passed, went in circles with and started to run out of fuel?
Guy with the funky lights?

Anyway, cool day. Bloody freezing and my mate in the XKR wasn't hanging around, bit of a moment on the A34 in the damp. My passenger remained on the way home and we were joined by a 458, Naked and Caterham.

Hope to catch up properly with you guys next time.

I am terrible with names. TBH forum names should help really! :P

You did confuse me with that little detour.... "Shall I continue to follow these strange people driving around in circles"?  ;)

I'll try to help though:

Repsol? John
Naked? Ben
Yellow that we passed, went in circles with and started to run out of fuel? Me (Peter obviously)
Guy with the funky lights? Chris

What an awesome collection of cars, rather overwhelming! Oh and when did a sun roof count as a soft top!! ::)
Well worth the early start.
I reckon there were 12 Atoms and 2 Nomads present.
8 Atoms in the garages, 2 Atoms (I think) and 2 Nomads on the circuit.
I wish I'd taken more photo's now. I did take some with a 360 camera but I still have to work out how to share them!
Great to see everyone, now looking forward to the Dawn Raid next week.
Chris (funky lights)! ;D

Hi Reg,

I have the N4KED plate.  Wondered where you lived since following us back to Kingsclere where I peeled off to get fuel.  The yellow Ferrari was my mate Mark's who lives in Newbury - was my wedding car that.

Happy to catch up for a blat sometime?

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Ben, awesome colour car, cool plate! Did you used to own a Caterham and visit Penn 7's by any chance, they mentioned a Ben before? I am a bit south of Bicester. Absolutely, now the summer is here I'll be looking to get out and explore :D
