@ 70 maybe, it's 50mph most of the way.
Bloody road works, is for me anyway.

You coming down the M6?
M1 for me. Not sure on the roadwork situation. Might have to make it a 7.15am departure!

Just passing by Longbridge on the M42 right now and it is raining slightly......
The good news for anybody using the M1 and M42 route in the morning is that there are no roadworks on the whole A/M42 part of the journey. Not sure about the M1, though

Great turnout from the Coupes, of the more ordinary versions there were some 216s but only one 214 that I saw (red SEi)?
Apart from mine, which I later brought back to the exit to see everyone off...
Exhaust note of the day: that dark blue phase 1 SD1 3500.

95'ish cars of all shapes and sizes - including a Maxi and an Acclaim!
Thank you to everybody who came, I don't think we've had that number together before. Great fun meeting so many new faces and the old ones
Craig's going to do a tally from his pics so we'll see what's what :-)
My forehead seems slightly tight. Dunno why...

I'll try this as a panorama shot from the far hill... it's LARGE at almost 9000 pixels wide by 3000 high. Got a few of these... and a lot of bracketed scenery that I've temporarily cropped. Right click and choose "save picture as". Possibly detailed enough to count the 200s and 400s. There's a prize if you spot Dist and his cabby.
A slightly smaller one (4912 * 1080):
And a single shot from the hill:
