I have no idea what this is like but I saw it and it's soon and I thought it might be of interest to someone?

Very interesting - and just down the road.
Not sure if anyone really wants to admire my clunky old XT but if it gets me in for £4 I'll take part

I went many years ago.

I say I went, more like I tried.

Got 5 miles outside and the reg/ rec went. I spent the next 4 hours on the side of the road getting really bad sunburn waiting for the AA man to arrive. Ah the memories.

normally yes but we'll be on the South Coast by 9am. I have a 8 o'clock start to look forward to. We'll head to Beaulieu later on after a fry up by the seaside.

BBadger we got pi$$ed last night at a BBQ so we are hung over and late. If you read this and want to hack along with us post up by 10.10 and meet at the big boozer on the top of the Devils punch bowl at 10.20.

We were probably right in front of you. Sitting on slope with boots and socks off but still sweating our knackers off.

Note to self....must get some kevlar jeans. Today was too hot for leathers!!

Posted up some videos in the Photo section.

Cracking photo by the way, I'd offer it to them.
