When we say slow, what exactly do we mean? I'm thinking comfortable but quick round twisties and staying circa 60 (give or take 5mph) If that's the case, I'm almost certainly in although given recent news it's a little shakier but only because we'll be in the process of moving!
I can't go caravan speed, I'm pretty sure my car has a limiter for that kind of thing

Remember the last time you overtook a red Honda VFR800 rider in a hi-viz jacket holding onto the grips for dear life on the M90? That slow.

If you're going to be frustrated by the slowness this isn't the meet for you. Think - normal everyday road driving speeds. 50-60 on a NSL, 70-80 on a dual carriageway. 30 in a 30.

That's not that slow, I just wanted to make sure we were still doing speeds I consider fun driving rather than lightspeed which is fun but a little scary .
The Civic is enjoyable to drive like that but crawling round corners would be dull as dishwater in a hardtop car. I still might not be able to come as it's going to be a fecking long way for me to come (if I've moved by then)
