OcUK Southwest Meet - Get Your Names In!

We'd have had to find another carpark for you ;)
The one for those photos was pretty bumpy, with lots of rocks on the ground
Not sure when I'll sort out the video, lots of footage to go through etc, if anyone else wants to try, I can upload the raw footage (around 480mb iirc):)

Afterwards, me and Alex went down to Exmouth seafront to see what we could find to laugh at, only got one photo, but that says enough!

It managed to hold it's own :)

It was just a shame traffic wasn't a bit kinder to everyone else, I was able to overtake and have a play on some of the roads but with very few overtakng points on some of the roads don't think anyone else could :(

Best quote of the day from Will was something along the lines of

"I've got sheep to the left of me and a group of men to the right, I don't know where to look"

On the way from the carpark we stopped in I saw you giving it some, and went to do the same, but the people behind kept going out of view, didnt want to risk loosing them so ended up having to keep backing off.. quite pleased with the foci's performance to be honest ! didnt think id be able to keep that close !!

being serious, it did point out the weaknesses I have (the brake fade became pretty horrific as the day went on, but im putting that down to the 'damage' ive probably done nearly hitting jez on the m5) the suspension felt very spongy, and after 2nd gear i was by far the slowest car there !!

Slower than the Micra? :D
 
man, i've just got in!! loooooong day - me and freefaller took a scenic route back to get some more driving in - all good apart from a fool in a x5 that wouldn't let him overtake and a silly toyota truck that looked like topgear had been at it that i got stuck behind :(

don't beleave how lost i managed to get - went to get fuel just b4 the drive then using someones map (cheers to whoever gave me that - would have been totally up the creek) in the end i only took a short detore (via exmouth...) and still made it in time for food :)

nice to meet people - would be cool to have the group photo up and named :)

Definitely, but unless Rilot has internet access where he is not gonna be until next week :(
 
Actually. I'll put my pics in this thread. If Freefaller wants to archive and put in a new thread then he can do that as he's a Motors Don.

As others have said, it was ace to meet you all. Some interesting motors and driving on some ace roads.
After we left we got stuck behind a mobile gerriatric ward which insisted on doing 8mph round every bend and 80mph down every straight making overtaking impossible. Made for a dull drive.

Sorry about the bad compression on the pics. I'm at Dads using my laptop which only has basic image editing facilities.

I'll upload some better versions when I get back home tomorrow.
