Newsletter 35 - October 2003

Following day, YB returned South and
West along M25 to Croydon for lunch with
elder daughter and her beau before
returning to Brize Norton to gather breath
before the following day’s push back up to
Cumbria. All in all a smashing round trip
during which the YB performed faultlessly
bar an annoying touch point when turning
right. This is still to be investigated and
hopefully will not prove too problematic.
We have since been back to Caterham for
my niece’s 21 st to sample the M25 in all it’s
glory! We had obviously been extremely
lucky in the Minari as there had been no
hold-up on the M25. This time though, revenge – 15 miles in 80 mins, delightful.
On our return to Cumbria the M25 was fine, as were the rest of the roads. I’d
never seen a Lamborghini Diablo on the road before but on that journey we saw
two and very impressive they looked too. Come to think of it, I still haven’t seen
our Chairman at a Minari BBQ – rarer than a Lamborghini then! Only jesting
Julian, trust all is well.
Well, must go - my meat and potato pie with mushy peas is being dished up.
Thanks again Dave, maybe we can meet up at Donington.

Not as impressive as the Le Mans wall
in the last NL, but the best we could do
in the circumstances.

P.S.( from Chriss who is more interested in number plates than cars!) – the
numbers on the Lamborghinis were “S007” and “L13MBO” with the 3 modified
such that the 13 looked like an A – impressive what
