Great photos really enjoyed looking at them. Must admit to feeling a little left out.

Work it doesn't half get in the way.

Hope to see you all soon.

Great fun 8)

I stretched the legs of the E today and had a good run but thoughts were with you guys……..I would move further North if it wasn't so friggin' cold up there!

Southern and soft me! :wink:

A great afternoon and good to catch up with everyone and get the cars out, using and enjoying them as intended :)

Covered various Yorkshire roads and definitely tested the suspension and steering on the high twisting ones.

Now wondering just exactly why I'm moving to Cambridgeshire for at least a year....far too flat there for my liking :roll: I think the Porsche will be having quite a few trips north but hope they'll be some southern drives too.

It was a bit snowy at the highest pub...

Sunset as we left, worth getting in Jason's way!

Having woken up to a frost, we were very lucky with the weather yesterday , and even the traffic wasn't bad, don't think we really got held up.

Sunset on a clear winters eve with your mates, up on the tops of Yorkshire having got there in old Porsches ..... Doesn't get much better 8)

Heres a quick video following Russ and Ian upto Tan Hill pub. Russ's car does look good from behind, especially when it squats under acceleration.

The snow and ice isn't good for cup tyres.

Will have a look at the rest later

I woke up to this.

I suspect someone needs to top up their oil in their car now.....as most of it appears to be all over mine!
