And what about that convoy U turn in the Cotswold high street?
Cough.......Jurassic tour Saturday afternoon......Cough :lol:

Always happy to help. See I do know something about engines in spite of my gormless appearance
Althorpe House never raised in conversation.
Slow breakfast never complained.
Essex racer............Erm guilty as charged. Was fun though! Clive thought it was the best drive he had that year. We should do it again soon. Favourite quote of the day " WE ARE NEVER DRIVING THAT FAST EVER AGAIN"
Is the flat4 drive still on? :bounce: :cheers: Lets do it in Essex. Some great roads around here and you don't have to drive through fields full of bulls![/quote]

Sean/Neiil/Jeremy As my 914 arrives in September I may be able to participate properly in Flat 4 drive

Couple of questions Clive
Are you happy getting hopelessly lost?
Can you do a U turn in a confined space?
If everyone in front of you that you are following take the first exit off the roundabout. Which exit should you take?

Ah yes. The Jurassic Tour Saturday afternoon cock up necessitating a small convoy doing a 360 degree turn around in a tight but busy country lane. I apologised at the time and do so again now!

And on the question of a September flat 4 run, I’m in if we can get a date agreed..

Even in Essex..

Doubt whether 914 can clear and get registered by then- unless I borrow some trade plates from Angus?
Oh, and I have to get to Banbury from West Cork.
Otherwise I think I can qualify on other counts.......
Compared to some U turns on PCI drives, all this is pretty minor.....

Sorry for the slow uptake, been busy today.
Convoy U turn in the Cotswolds....
We were hoping to see a hand brake pirouette demonstration from some one :lol:
Maybe next time.
Sean to the rescue as always.
Wasn't there that cartoon character of Eric Studer as Studerman,
I think we should make up a new one

Checked my battery today only to find the top of the plates exposed. :oops:

Perhaps all this warm weather we’ve had has diminished the electrolyte levels.

Went to a local car meet. Yes really a CAR MEET! And the sun and clouds made the 356 paint look like liquid metal.

Enjoyed the drive too. Just country lanes. But that sense of going somewhere for a reason..
