Well Happy Re: Run to Leeds Castle Classic Car Day
I believe that was it mate, kept on taking me on and of the M25. Anywhere else we can meet?? Like a service station?? Or Lakeside, I know a car park there that does not have any speed bumps!!

Also, I know its not a problem but thought id share it. There is a hump back bridge that if you hit doiing anything over 30+mph then u'll take off . I scraped the front bumper on impact.

Great fun though

Cheers

Re: Run to Leeds Castle Classic Car Day
Did you start from bluewater? just wondering if it was trying to take you back there, as that was the first waypoint.

Re: Run to Leeds Castle Classic Car Day
Looking forward to this! Will you have a pre-arranged parking area at Leeds Castle or just park where you can? I'll probably have to meet you all there.

Re: Run to Leeds Castle Classic Car Day
Think we'll just park where we can, but we'll be in one group, probably get there about 12.15-12.30ish, if we get started on time from bliuewater.

Re: The Kent Run - Leeds Castle Classic Car Day
Hi scott sorry mate, got barbecue this afternoon so probably won't be in a fit state to do any driving. How about next weekend?

Plus I've got another route based on the goodwood run but goes to brighton instead which I'm thinking of doing in september.
