I reckon there's almost zero chance of any engine damage - as soon as I saw the steam coming from underneath the car, I started flashing my lights at him, and he pulled up in less than a minute Bit of a fluke really, as Speedy was at the rear of the convoy, but about a mile earlier, I'd decided to take up the rear in order to get some more video footage Other than that slight mishap, it was a really good day - the only other downside was buying two burgers and two drinks at the Cat & Fiddle and being hit for £19

Have they done away with the Sunday carvery up there then Nigel? No, that's still avaiable and would've been quicker tbh but the portions were good, I couldn't finish mine!
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

...and a video This is Matt's first attempt at a video extracted from a camcorder, but I have to say its really good. The only bit he's less than happy with is the inability to fade the music out, so it ends a bit abruptly There's another, shorter video that we're trying to upload that's also pretty good - watch this space Photobucket video

Great vid, awesome engine notes Glad to see your car is OK Speedy. Must remember to watch rear view mirror more than what is in front when I get to go for a drive with you all Rob, maybe we could do a mini convoy to a meet sometime. Don't seem to be many of us up this way. I am only on the other side of the lakes to you.

I've just had a skim through of the footage and there isn't anything useable of Johnny's car, just a fleeting glimpse every now and again - but it was nice to see one. Unfortunately, the pass that we did through the tunnel (up to 70mph exactly, and nothing more ) was ruined because I stuck the microphone out of the window, so all of the noise I captured was just that of wind, and no engine noise - a little gutted, but c'est la vie..

... the pass that we did through the tunnel (up to 70mph exactly, and nothing more I think you'll find that it was a 50mph limit through the tunnel, so you must be mistaken - I only did 50, as anything more would have been breaking the law Clutch must have been slipping though, as I was in third gear, but the revs were somewhere near 7,000 i think i was doing somewhere near 150 too

Would have loved to come, looks like you all had a blast! Got heaps on at the moment and also would have had to park a mile up the road at the Fiat garage as to not dampen the cred with my dull pink Coop! Fingers crossed, she'll be in a more spangly condition by the time the sun is high in the sky again Lucky CHOD catch there... whew!
