So this event has come and gone. And the response on here was...a big fat zero! So I guess no-one really wants to drive their cars? Not even one person from the North-West? In the end there were 6 cars (none from here, obviously) and one of those travelled from Glasgow, so if he's doing that then they must be fairly OK do's (think he's only missed 2 out of the last 8).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset or having a go, I'm just surprised and puzzled that no-one in a car club is interested in an activity involving the very thing those cars were created for! As I've always said, you don't have to do it in a Stratos or anything that remotely resembles one - on Sunday we had 4 Boxsters, a Focus ST and an Audi A3.

Anyway. Next year I'll be doing one in May (a one-day close re-run of the route from last August that everyone thought was great) and the August one itself, which will involve a hotel and drink and general mayhem. So watch this space for those and start saving your pennies now!
