nice little breakfast meet, although dissapointed they didnt get the proper cooked breakfast out ... surely a money spinner for them ?
I havent got any pics, but I think bam_bam has some, and nudenut has some GoPro footage from our destruction of the Hindhead tunnel !
fcking nightmare journey home though !
2.5hrs of M25 and on the A3, Nige shot off to explore his 520 horses, and when over what looked like a piece of wood on the tarmac, it must have clipped his underside, it came to life .... hurtling towards me !
ahahhhahahahahh
hit the car, bounced up and hit the windscreen and split up!
thank fcuk the damage wasnt worse as it looks like it just a cracked grill and new number plate and holder (as they fell off)
good excuse for a V10 optics grill if you ask me !
as for the run .... fckume !! Darth sounds epic
we DESTROYED the Hindhead tunnel !
and I love it we all got told off at Goodwood for revving our engines, much to the joy of spectators ... but not the marshalls !

Sound like a plan
Lucky the wood didnt hit the bodywork, still a bit of a

though.
If the sample vid last week was anything to go by the tunnel must have ben awsome

Noooooooo, that's a <beep> outcome to a great day, that's a sorry sight. Loved the R8s though and the drive to Goodwood was a bit special too.

Some pics from my crpberry (same POS that made me miss the convoy

)
Some of the offenders:
Waffy:
I'd not planned on actually attending (just wanted to sample the noise on the way down), but didn't quite manage that and the subsquent chase took me all the way in to Goodwwod - ended up blagging my way in, and so had to settle for a spot in the shade:
Did wander around hoping to bump into one of you guys, but after an hour and a half duty called so had to shoot off again.
Was hoping to catch the noise off, but even missed that it seems!

You were at the car when we walked passed, didn't realise it was you.

Agree, Nigel's is the dogs, never thought I would like a white car so much, the carbon looks fantastic.
Is white the best colour for an R8?, with lashings of carbon obviously.
