Hi Adrian,
Yes I did it, bought her a couple weeks back, was meaning to send you a message.
I had a call from my little brother saying there was a S2K at sparkford, It had to be you. Hows yours going?
Russ,
There are a few S2kers in and around Wells. There is a new one parked up in the car park on the Underwood Quarry Industrial Estate, is that you? I park my red one up in the car park opposite the industrial estate.
Pass one most mornings on A37 on way in to work and also nice Yelllow one in village just outside Wells, plus of course Cornpots too.
More than up for a SW meet.

Yes thats me over the road in the Royal Navy blue. I did see a red one over in thales the other day, so that must have been you. I see a couple around, a silverstone with j4dy F reg or something, a '04 Moonrock and then cornpot every so often. My colleague (chap who has the Boxster S in our car park) also mentioned he has seen a new lady owner.
Here are a couple pictures, shes a '55 RNBP GT with 33k miles.
And a hard top for the really bad weather:
Absolutely love it, just need to improve and practise my driving skills so I can drive her like she deserves.
Meet wise im up for anything. There are a few decent roads around here (Priddy, Cheddar etc) but not a good route as such.
Cheers.

Don't worry storm I'm the same, first rwd and first proper sports car so I'll be taking it easy at the back with you. Cornpot will be up there with his fancy footwork heel and toeing!!
I match rev on downshift to say overtake, but I can't get the old heel and toeing whilst braking. My feet just dont go that way v.well!

yea thats not so bad, the bit round cheddar and priddy is ok. Some good twisty roads, but its all fairly narrow.
We need to find a central point where we could all meet or finish at, this is generally a pub! As us lot who arent from bristol wont want to do your big loop round bristol.
We could all meet at Chew valley lake or something, wiz round priddy - cheddar and then maybe find a pub around the blagdon area, have a drink possibly some food and then time and weather dependent carry on driving or come on home.
Who is actually up for doing this some evening? Get some ideas going.

If we agree on a "core" route it might be good to wack the route into your GPS from google-just to make sure no one takes a wrong turning and ends up on the wrong road!

Hi,
Should try and include either Cheddar Gorge or Burrington Combe, some good fast roads up on mendip with bends! and good pubs on the Chew Valley side.....well any pub would do! Another suggestion for anyone interested would be a convoy down to Simon at Hendys on Sat 30th July?
