    I sort of saw this coming when I saw Tony's post.

    To be honest, I'm no fan of driving TOO fast. And yesterday was NOT too fast. It was a spirited drive in the country. But we seldom felt it necessary to break the speed limit. We weren't on the Manky Thrash, so we're not in a position to compare - not that there's anything to be gained from that anyway.

    Also John, please bear in mind, from what I recall Alan was only criticised by ONE person on his run. And at that, the guy stewed for a month before chipping in. Couldn't have been that bad. So I'm not sure he got a "roasting".

    Besides, from what I saw in Big Gordy's post, yesterday you were driving so fast you couldn't even hold it on the road.

    I am not condeming anyone, I merely found it amusing that Alan got a hard time of the Manky run and then I read a thread titled 21 racing minis only to open it and its about a great run.


    And as for yesterday I think you will find I did keep it on the road (while spinning) not that easy

    Exactly John, a great run, I did check with everyone (I think) at the end that they enjoyed it, thereby giving them the chance to tell me if anything was wrong (too slow, too fast, not enough toilet stops, they didn't like my biscuits, they didn't like the company, the scenery was lousy etc etc) but all I got was positive comments.

    I think Tony's post was tongue in cheek anyway as he is known as "Miss Daisy"...
