The pick-up gathering started off with cordial pleasantries, but as the only two LBCs became out numbered by four Z3 Deutsch mobiles a coup was attempted by their owners to change the club name. Alex and I put up a noble fight and the ladies rewarded us with their support because of our blighty tenacity and loyalty.
Then off we went with all tops down and looking forward to the tour. But soon we ran into a downpour of heavy rain. The two old Bangers showed their true grit by speeding up and slicing through the rain like a magic lazar. We soon passed through the storm to a clear blue sky. Alex and I then pulled off the road and waited and waited for the Z3 folks. We later were told that German cars with open cockpits will not operate in wet weather.
We finally arrived at our destination and enjoyed Chris Painter's hospitality and returned home safely.
