Just a quick post to show off my very average camera skills, I'm using a dinky little Sony cyber shot N2, great bit of kit put its pilot wasn't so good lol.I'd like to say thanks to all the guys that made me feel very welcome today, I aint good with names but you know who you are!!

Really was 'hands in pockets' weather, I promise to take more piccys next time big apologies, i've left a load of cars out, just too cold for my soft hands


Heading south and chasing dk1 in his 95 480


Two 480s' one clean, one not so clean lol


Rather nice...


..and under the bonnet


Some scenary...


..and some more


Bad attempt at an 'arty' shot


Spot the odd one out!!


355 miles later and i'm home, phew!!

Cracking day out, a good turn out and some new friends

I'm sure that some of the others guys will post a little more detail about the cars and the route. I'm gonna grab a cuppa and put my feet up now, i'm just about beat
