My Z is the last one in this group and after we got lined up for photo shoot I saw this Lotus pull up behind me. I Immediately ran back to apologise to the young driver for blocking the road and explained the verge is quite capable of taking his weight if he’d like to go through. His reply was “ it’s no probs I’d rather like to be in the shot and when you all decide to go I’ll tag along behind to see just how quick these Zs really are. I came straight back with “you won’t be disappointed and I bet you a score you can’t get past us we’re just too quick” he laughed and said “your on old timer “.
Walked back to the group and said “he thinks we’re all too old to go quick and he’ll be past us before the next bend so no letting him past“.

He can't beat our plan mate. Bumper to bumper he'll never get past 6 cars in a row eh?

Tony.

Appreciation to @Toby who comes along in his lovely Lotus just to make sure this old timer plus some others don’t t get lost. Must be frustrating though looking after so many grandfathers on the road.
Thanks for taking the time. Roy.

Great to catch up with old friends and to meet some more like minded folks, all in all a great day.

Grumps seemed to have sorted the weather, even though he didnt make an appearance.

Cheers Roy for your offer - much appreciated mate - really pleased you made the journey up this time, been too long

Sorry I had to dash off, and if I didnt chat or say bye, appologises.until the next one
