right chaps, for all of you in the south birmingham area, you missed a great time last night at the south brum meet. pics below



collins BEC, it has a yamaha R1 engine, and my ride for the night, my first time in a BEC and im sure collin did his best to scare the s**t out of me.



next up, chris and vicky's westy, very nice indeed, and im sure vicky will take credit for her little beauty!



big up the pinto power, thats what im going for! apart from a small lapse in power due to a dogey alternator.(correct me if im wrong) they managed to keep up until the pub



lots of red car last night, here is johns se7en, liking them side screens john



and finally i think the little star of the show, a lilttle bit of MOJO madness, neils mojo was an awesome addition to the convoy that was disturbing the piece through stratford city centre last night

we also had Dave Ashurst's car with dave as a passenger, unfortunately i didn't get a picture, sorry dave



this is a picture of the view from the beer garden, superb in my opinion



the gang

Can i just add, that all our thoughts go out to Justin, who unfortunately unable to attend due to a family emergency, all the best Justin, hope all is well

Well guys you have now seen what the meets are like, so lets hope we can get even more cars next month!

Great venue as well - loved that view.

Hi Guys,

Glad you all had a great time and gutted that I couldn't come

Pictures are the next best thing - nice work

We'll be doing another Drive-PUB-Drive evening on the first Monday in July so keep an eye out for the posting.

Extra special apologies to Dave69isit - I was supposed to be taking him round in my car and couldn't. Sorry Mate

None as such Neil, just that I didn't have the wit to ask 'what speed' before we set off. New to all this, you see.

Not that I think I'd be capable of leaving anybody behind if they didn't want to be.

the 'rules' from the sevens list are simple,

Drive at what ever speed you want - except it is your responsibility to keep the guy in the mirrors behind you, not for him to keep up!

split into groups depending on peoples desires to travel at what ever speed they want (fast, slow etc)

in theory thats not needed with the sevens approach, as the person behind you will have the person behind them in there mirrors.

If they disappear they slow down, so you slow down.

They've done a number of tours using this principle. The hardest bit is getting the groups sorted so slow people go in slow groups - but I believe that usually only takes a morning or afternoon.

faster the better in my opinion, especially in colins car, i had a great time and at those speeds OMG!

big thankyou to colin for letting me ride shot gun!

CHEERS BUDDY

ATB Alex

no problems justin may be another time loverly ride out any how once i got up that big hill outside rutlle

Thanks for the tips on convoy rules guys - all quite sensible and obvious really....which is no doubt why none of them ocurred to me
