south brummy meet pics
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!

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
Wifes had to dash off to Cornwall this afternoon to see her mum in hospital
Justin
Who is this super hero? Sarge? ...No.
Rosemary, the telephone operator? ...No.
Penry, the mild-mannered janitor? ...Could be!

I must've missed the banter on that subject! What *is* the etiquette?
Sorry we didn't meet Justin, hope the Mum in Law is better soon.

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)

That sounds fair. It is also a good idea to discuss speeds against road types as some people prefer to slow down a bit on twisty roads (usually the
passengers) but are happier on wide straight roads.
If you can see 1 person behind you but not the others, it is a good idea to slow down / wait a bit / turn back and find them depending on how long
they've been lost.

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.
