Labour of love, Nige... cannot be anything else.. when are you planning the great unveiling? Spec K

Yeah! Great stuff, Adrian, love it.... .... time I took another look at my shopping list.... Spec K

I shall be close to Kendal/Grange Over Sands Fri/Sat/Sun - are there any local Members who fancy a meet? Cannot make Sat lunchtime - I am visiting my favourite UK restaurant (L'Enclume, Cartmel) to sample Simon's incredible tasting menu... 15 courses... every time I go there I swear it cannot get any better and it does...!! Spec K

Worth noting that, if you live local and buy your winter tyres from RRG Macclesfield (Ricebruner) they will store/change them for you... I cannot find anyone in my locality who will do that... Spec K

If they took the brake light out of the rear window and stuck it into that spolier it would make a worthwhile difference.. I like it but agree, it should be self-coloured.. Where'd it come from Kevin? Spec K

'Tasting' menu at L'Enclume, Cartmel (home of Simon Rogan) on Saturday - 16 courses - Oyster Pebbles Oxtail Dumpling Crispy chicken, squid, redcurrant Smoked eel with ham fat Raw scallop and caviar Creamed celeriac, Tunworth (cheese), lambs tongue Salt baked squash, Maran egg, sunflower, chestnut Valley venison, charcoal oil, mustard and fennel Glazed lobster, scurvy grass,hazelnuts, carrot, watercress Artichokes with goats cheese, tarragon, stout vinegar and malt Grilled plaice and turnip, potato, dill and mussel Suckling British lop (pig), beetroot, kale, elderflower Apple and rosehip tart, blackberry, brown butter, rhubarb Iced blueberry, sheeps milk and apple marigold Honeycomb, poached quince, walnut and perilla Apple, sweet cheese, pineapple weed. Dining does not get better than this.... flavours and textures that are the pinnacle of gastronomic science. I declined the puddings and went for the cheese trolley - stunning British cheeses, including a Roquefort and a sheeps milk Camembert you would die for. Rachel had the sweets and said they were sublime.. Six different wines to complement the courses plus a glass of sake with the cheese.. even if I had been driving I wouldn't have got in behind the steering wheel... sheer self-indulgent gluttony... Spec K

GT62 PLP ? Spec K

Awesome, Stan.... .... it seems that you and Chris Stanbury are 'the legend'..... Rachel did a bit of internet sniffing last night and you two've got quite a reputation... .... but I will admit that if I want see clouds below me I'd rather be in a aluminium tube at 30,000 ft... preferably going somewhere hot... as for Chris breaking his leg in two places and being airlifted off a tor - stay clear of those two places in future... Spec K

Okay. I'm now at PI, Manchester Airport. See you later! Spec K

Hi All, I shall be travelling up to Macc on Thursday 16 October to have my car re-striped (eta 1230) and shall be staying overnight, then travelling up to Cumbria on Friday morning for the weekend. If anyone wants to meet up I believe Rich, Paula and I are scoffing somewhere local in the evening. Gives a chance for anyone who's interested a passenger ride in a turbo car... Spec K

Be aware of tyre restrictions if you intend to do the TSS.... Adrian uses Toyo 888's- full track car. N/A classes have specific tyres which can be used in a specific class - Lauren has more info, I think.. Spec K

Mike - will you be at the table or in the loo...?? (Can I bring your TSS magnetics up, take them off me..?) Spec K

Let's not take a jaundiced view of Teg's situation.... ... let's hope they use anaesthetic... or he might yell 'ow!'..... <doh!> Spec K

Agreed, Dave - a Veyron is merely willy-waving.. would you have yours chrome-plated..? Spec K

Stan - Red Lion Inn, Lowick Bridge, LA12 8EF ? I've been there before - not too far for either of us. Shall we say 7.00pmish? Yep, the roads in the area are good for our modus operandum.... if they don't like your exhaust the pair of us will freak 'em out.... Spec K

What! 21y/o with mods? You got a bionic leg or suffink, Jay ? Spec K

Agreed.... too good an opportunity to miss for the two best coloured GT86's to be seen in one place... Yep - driving up from Macclesfield Friday morning aiming to arrive 11.00ish, Staying at Levens, just south of Kendal on A590. A beer on Friday evening is a cunning plan. There are so many really great pubs around there... .... anyone else in the locality? Spec K <Looketh not upon the wine when it is red, for it biteth like an arrow and stingeth like a serpent>

Great coincidence, Stan... as you say, it's not far (and there's some good hoon roads in the area!) Spec K

Yep, no problem there for me.... give me time to lay a scent trail... Spec K

Keethos, I'm up for a social on 6/7 December in Coventry... as everyone who witnessed my efforts at JAE on the IMOC console I'm ace at this gaming malarkey (not).... probably look at staying local overnight, if anyone is thinking the same thing... Spec K

Lauren, the menu looks yummy..... aargh, decisions, decisions..... Spe cK

Lauren, it's ".... ruv you rong time.." Allegedly. Spec K

Ahah! - the H&S trumpet may attend... nice one, Chris! 10.00am start ? .... treasure hunt ... ? Bring a buddy...? Spec K

Not a lot.... read your mail. Spec K

Replied (Tight git!) Spec K
