Convoy of Noise

 My son has joined a C63 club and they had a run today to a meet in Stevenage. Not really my thing as they met at a motorway services and then drove round the M25 but the meet sounded promising (Porsche and Mclarens as well), so I thought I'd give it a go.

Initially, about 15 C63s met at Cobham services on the M25 and then convoy'd round to South Mimms services to meet another 15 or so - considering that you don't see many C63s on the roads at all, 30 was damn impressive:

My son's C63 is loud; almost straight piped, tuned - it's loud but there are 2 or 3 others in the group even louder and stock C63s aren't quiet, so the exit from the services was...not subtle. And the short tunnel on the A1 up to the meet was insane - I couldn't hear myself think.

The meet was an industrial estate, hosted by a car repair place, so we got a free bacon and egg roll, which was an unexpected bonus. It was quite a good event; 30 or more C63s, a similar number of Porsches and 10 or so Mclarens:

The weather was lovely and good car chatter was had; I know as much about C63s as I do about Porsches. 

The drive back was half motorway and I came off early onto some local fun roads I know, with a lunch stop at Newlands Corner - all very pleasant.

Wales trip in 2 weeks with the PPCC, which I hope will be good. I've got new coil packs and spark plugs to fit - not sure if I'll get time before Wales.
