I organised a run with the Surrey Porkers down to Caffeine and Machine, near Petersfield at the weekend. The sun was out and it was a lovely day, although a bit of an arctic wind kept the actual temperature low.
The run was a bit longer than we usually do, so I only got 4 takers, which was fine. We met up at Denbies:
And had a fun run down, with a brief stop at a fancy hotel for a coffee:
...before making our way to C&M, who had a 'Built Not Bought' event on. Ironic, since I should have taken Zedster to this. There were 2 or 3 other kitcars there but really, it was just an excuse to go for a drive in great weather.
Coming out of winter hibernation (well, it's been out for a few weeks) was my son's C63 AMG and he has recently had it straight-piped, so it is even louder than before. Personally, it is a little too loud for me (and everyone in the Porkers group, who really don't like it) but my son loves it, which is all that counts:
Our run back was even better as I went via my favourite back-road route and we managed to avoid any traffic - Barry sang beautifully, as usual, and was a joy through the twisties.
Next big event is the Goodwood track day on April 7th - I hope I haven't made a mistake booking Barry in for this. He is 20 years old and track days are intense, although this is only half a day, so hopefully it will be fine.
