    Managed to get out for a few breakfast meets, first one was Goodwood to meet up with some UK friends ... 250 miles each way, but well worth it, good to meet up with so many people!

    Started out at 5am, scraping the ice off the 5, and then trying to start it without making too much noise!

    The car was perfect, buzzed down the road without any fuss ... bit of a relief as I've only just changed the suspension & exhaust and I haven't tested it!

    Wandered around for a bit in the sun with some MX5 friends ... then a nice drive back across the Cotswolds.





    Left to right ... Zoom Engineering Elan Roadster, Tuckin99 Turbo Roadster, Corns ITB Roadster, Pitcrew Racing Roadster ... Not a bad line up!!

    Then a lovely drive out to the last Shelsley Walsh breakfast club of the year. Great fun testing how this car handles the wet. Really pleased about my tyre choice earlier this year as they were so predictable compared to the T1r that we're on before

    An observation as well ... Most of the younger people were in modern euro boxes, and were stood around grumbling about the weather. Most of the older people were in the interesting cars, and were grinning their heads off.

    Coolest couple of the meet were in their 90s and arrived, top down, in a Morgan. He had his flat cap, she had a headscarf. "You stay mostly dry as long as you keep your speed up". She was driving "because he hesitates too much at the junctions"

    Can't wait to get old!!
