Myself and Blipi have been showing other sports cars out there what style and performace is all about. Gaining great interest and many potentially new buyers. Also comments coming from other drivers like 'were you really pushing it, I was struggling at times' and 'you are the Stig' as well as 'I really thought I was gonna die then' and 'that car is nuts' were quite enjoyable! :-D

I have further passenger scares to do and a few other runs coming up so hope to further the prestige of the M100 and get more stories and snaps.

Here are a small selection of recent snaps:

Hmmm looks like one of the pics didn't download... dunno what's going on.

Moving on, this next selection of pics were taken at PistonFest last weekend. A fantastic gathering of motors and motor nuts to camp at Snetterton track to enjoy good company, a great 24hr 2cv race (very Le Mans esque!) as well as other races, a superb band in the beer tent and another chance to experience new roads. All in Lotus birthplace territory!

Naturally I was the only Elan there and got the usual string of positive remarks etc...

I'll be getting some video footage of a passenger run taken last Wednesday. If it's any good I'll try to share. Think it contains a little foul language :roll:

Off the the meet in Ashby Folville this Tuesday. Type Ashby Folville into Google... Not sure whether I'll be on bike or in Blipi but will try to get some snaps.

It's a good meet for us Midlandser's so I'll post some details in the East Mids thread.

Stef,
"Girls just wanna have fun" eh?

Glad to hear you're enjoying yourselves (you and Blipi). I think Doug needs to appoint you official ambassador to Pistonheads/TVR.

Keep having a great spring & summer. If the weather down where you are is half as good as it's been up here for the last couple of weeks, it's shaping up to be a good one.

John

Indeed! Life has to be fun! :-D

So much going on out there and much organised thorugh PH. I'm really surprised not many more LECers use the site more.

I'm off to Silverstone in a tick! :-D

---Thanks for the title Doug :wink:

Another one of Blipi at the start of the recent Northants Run, getting reading to take on the Vipers! :lol:

Blimey Stef, looks like you treated her to a spring clean ?

by **Stef** » Wed 10.05.2006, 21:38

A quick 30 min wash over in the morn, that's all it was! Cheers for that Tracksides! The yellow Viper guy commented on how well she stuck to his rather noisy arse! :-D

Here is another update of pics. Taken from Ashby Folville in Leics. (second Tuesday of every month during summer) Sadly I have not captured the sheer size and turnout of this event, hundreds of bikers as well as cars meet in this tiny village!

by **Stef** » Wed 10.05.2006, 21:43

And a few more...

I'm sure thats the Ford GT owned by Tim Norton of Oakham !

From last Thursday's meet...

I couldn't understand why none of the RWD people would let me do donuts in the carpark, there was plenty of space! :-D

Another good turnout and blip round country lanes.

Rob brought his show stopper again. Blipi kept him at bay for a while but OMG that's an amazing and shatteringly loud car!

Great photos!

Looks like you have had some fun recently with plenty of meets.

When do you get a chance to do the cleaning at home though? :shock:

Cheers

Simple, I don't. My house is a mess and my grass is a jungle again!

Priorities, it's all about priorities ;-)

Obviously requires a good man to whip her into shape :lol:

by **Stef** » Mon 22.05.2006, 20:43

Pah!

I need a good man to finance my hobbies and do the housey stuff for me!

Any offers??

by **Stef** » Mon 22.05.2006, 21:02

Blipi went down to Brighton Saturday to see the Lambo gathering!

She even got into the closed off section on Medera Drive! :-D

Bless her.

One lovely surprise, especially after getting bored by so many beautiful monstrous noisy Lambos (as if) was a ZONDA! Phew! One of my dream cars!

I'm in love...

And just for a change no Blipi pics! :shock:

If only I were 20 years younger that might be a tempting offer!!
