What a lovely morning

Thanks PaulF, you did a great job leading us today

You and Wifey are so welcoming and a great asset to the Club/forum.

As AE has already said, we must do more of these.

I just love driving in S2000 convoy, it’s great to watch pedestrians take a touble take at us too.

Great turn out, great route, especially the road from Baldock which I consider to be “my special road”.

Thanks again.

Also, CHIPPO, you’re ace and Keith, you sound gorgeous

Sorry, I didn’t take any pictures.

Thanks for all the comments guys, made the hard work worthwhile. I have to say a massive thanks to Lovegroova for his help with the maps and sat nav files, planning, and general advice/calming Then thanks to all those who came along and made the run what it was, it's only as good as those who attend!

Here's some of Wifey's photos, we've taken out the 86 of my boot lid



Had a great blast up the A1 with Fester on the way home, PRM Vs. K&N in VTEC roll on's, definitely got us some looks

A cracking way to spend a day

Just to add my thanks to Paul and Wifey for organising the run today, I know how much hard work you guys put in

Excellent leading from the front (I know how stressful it can be) and a nice pace emphasising safety above all else.

Nice to have a passenger (Lee) for the 2nd half, and to reminisce with him about our early S2000 days, watching and listening to Keith VTEC everywhere. Good to hear someone doing proper H&T downshifts

It was also very enjoyable seeing people smiling and waving at us as we passed through various villages - partially a testament to the sensible speeds employed no doubt.

Sorry I had to depart so early but hope to see many of you again at various drives through the year.

Mr Lovelygroova, thanks to you too - I had missed that you had a hand in organising - probably due to the fact you're an expert organiser now, always so calm

Thanks!

Thanks for all of the lovely comments guys, although the success of the run was down to Paul and Lovegroova

My biggest job was putting up with a grumpy husband when he had to change the route, and for helping calm him down when he saw how many cars he had to lead on his first run

Thanks to everyone who turned up and made it such a fun day.
Hope you see you all again soon

sorry to miss this one, especially as i recognise many of the places in the photos! Two friends of mine saw the convoy and told me (just to rub salt) Purleasse, pretty please can we do another later in the spring? I might even offer to lead!
