What a beautiful morning that was. Clear blue sky and sunshine all the way. Icy roads so a much slower pace than usual, well done everyone for keeping it on the tarmac!

Great to have so many cars there for the first run including some new faces, which is great to see.

Next run will be 29th March - Hope to see you all there.

It was good to see you all, even if it was just for a quick bite to eat

Great run as usual, thanks Simon . Weather was stunning, even if it meant the roads were "interesting". Good to see faces old and new, photos up in a bit.

Thank you from a newbie here to the run, was awesome morning and will love to do it in the summer.

But I must ask who had the squeaky brakes ? Need to get them changed asap.

Really enjoyed this today, cool to look in your rear view and see a nice line of S2000's! First time doing the run for me, was slippery on the country roads particularly that frozen water patch across the road . Must be great in the summer.

Big thanks to Simon for a very well organised run and sensible pace given the conditions, also for an insight into the surprising comfort of bilsteins.

Also thanks to soup and other guy not sure of your name for helping with my washer jet valve, gave the jets a good clean out when I got back and they're good now. Nice pics too soup. Mike, I took the airbox lid off on the way home and it transforms the noise on WOT, impressive!

Squeaky brakes probably just means race spec pads. They normally squeal loads unless you cover them in mintex ceratec.

I did think about coming today but didn't get to bed until gone 1am and felt knackered anyway after a cold day working on the driveway. Looks like you had fun and glad everyone stayed on the tarmac. Slippy conditions out there this morning i bet!

Oh and Japcrap my girlfriend spotted your car earlier and texted me your reg. She probably thought it was my car, if a random blond waved at you i can only apologise!

I think that may have been Simon's dixcels, they all do that I think?

ETA - or not!

My Dixcels are silent, the squeaking was John and his Carbon Lorraine pads, post track day on Monday. Some shims would help a lot with that I think.

Great pics Soupy and Clanger!
