Mexican Gerbil Posted May 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Massive thank you to you. Without your support on events like this, they don't happen. Here's some pics I took of the weekend. See you all in 2023. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pack 2000 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Ok who owns the Orange Mk2 RS2000 and the Lotus Sunbeam? Im in love and a bigamist! 🤎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) What weekend that was 😍 we managed the tour in record time 😂😂😂 Got to the 12-30 lunch break at 15-15. We had more stops than the number 3 bus route! Tea here tea there, cream scones the lot. Consequently we got back to base some 3 hrs after everybody else. A big thanks to the team for arranging such a top drawer event. Weather fantastic, scenery fantastic and as usual great people. 10/10 from me 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Just a note, we managed the 340 ml trip home quicker than the 108 ml tour, not so many cups of tea on the way home….lol We knew we would be last so we took our resident photoman MONZA who will know doubt put up some great pics. His new name is MONZA the KODAK man !!!! Edited May 15, 2022 by colr6 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexican Gerbil Posted May 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 For those wondering who the crazy locals were on the outskirts of Plymouth (Elburton)....... yes they were my family 😄 My dad took this film of the cars as they went passed - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orange Mk2 RS wasn't a car I've seen at the event before 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son was on his first tour as my Navigator and wanted to know who that was driving so slowly in a cortina up front. When you turned off he said "yay, we're not stuck in a Col Train anymore!" You have my permission to chin him about it 😆 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure others from the continent appreciate it too or the same reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monza Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Bit late with this...Brilliant day! Fantastic route, especially down on the coast. Loved the beautiful little villages and beaches. Weather couldn't have been better. Although it pissed down as we arrived back at the camp....at about 8 Because Colr6 and myself kept stopping for tea and scones, most of my pics only have the Escort and Cortina in them!!Well done Vista and Mexican Gerbil for again putting an awesome route together for us. Round trip of about 800 miles inc tour.Brilliant weekend...Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk 2 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Great pics Arron, especially the one with the cow so close up. It looked even better and intimidating when we were stopped behind you ! See you got the pic of the Red Viva GT. Should have stopped to see if I could have bought that 🤔 @Vista may even know where that is ? Might be worth an enquiry if it’s a genuine GT wish I’d know you was going to get me in one of the pics, I’d have run a comb through my hair just to please Ray as he always takes the piss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexican Gerbil Posted May 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Dash cam footage of 2/3rds of the tour. Sadly the first leg didn't get recorded. Slapton-Saltash-Ashburton in 15 minutes 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slapton-Saltash-Ashburton in 15 minutes 😆 Gosh I can see why the big Yank Tanks aren't that popular there! I had no idea how many hedges you have? You virtually have no view for most of the journey as they box you in from both sides. Its like a tunnel most of the way. I wasn't expecting that, I always imagined mostly open farmland and countryside views all the way. Very educational Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first leg that Chris mentioned as missing would have had some fabulous views along Slapton Sands though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
