It's was good to meet you mate. And what a convoy. I remember Faisal saying in the car park we should take it easy and I agreed saying that we don't want to get nicked on the way. That thought didn't last long.

I could hear all sort of great sounds all around me, I didn't even known which car they were coming from at times.
Did anyone film it? And yes the speeds were very naughty.

Then we were on the country lane a TT RS was in front of me but then he pulled over to let me passed and I was catching up when a car came.round the bend and I didn't have much room and hit a ditch with an almighty thump, I thought some serious damage had been done but the car kept going!

I was most impressed by Ilyas wheel swapping for the track session. Slick operation you got going on there.

Why oh why oh why did you guys go that way? Absolutely nuts! I got 'led' that way once in convoy, not by anyone on here, never again. Nobby, Technick and I passed you as you were waiting in the filter lane to turn right

I was following every one else even though my sat nav was telling me to go straight on.

Ahh that convoy was great fun. I think we were all a bit over excited, I know I was. It would of been great for any enthusiasts heading to the show that may have seen. That side road was well dangerous but with Trups in front I knew I was safe, anything on coming would of been pushed off the road.. Haha.

We need to try and organise something else before the years out.

Yes convoy was maybe my favourite part of the day; that side probably the worst!
