    Two R's together *56k beware*

    Yesterday as I am sure many here are aware Russ ran the Peril at Brighton speed trials not something you see everyday so I couldn't miss out. On route I met up with Kerry, a member from VOC, and few of his friends and we all made the trip to Brighton together. Seeing as the chance of two R's meeting at one time was too good to miss Kerry and I decided we should take a few, more like alot to be fair, shots along the way.

    So here they are...

    On the road


    First parking spot




    Had to move parking after 4 hours so the second parking spot


    Then various areas along the coast on the way back to Eastbourne from Brighton.





















    Thanks very much to Kerry and crew for showing me the way into Brighton along the less congested route and I have to say I need your suspension set up, don't think I could have ever imagined it to handle and look as good as it does in the flesh. It is also worth noting that Kerry was embarassed that he didn't clean his car prior to yesterday although I think you will all agree it doesn't really show and I am sure you will also all agree you wouldn't believe nearly 100k seperates these two cars when you look at them together Certainly as good in the flesh as she is in the pictures well done Kerry you have one fine R!

    Cheers,

    You might be right I have no idea I just followed Kerry, if it's within a 10 min drive of Brighton then it probably is lol

    Tbh I was quite impressed with how some came out but the positions I was in to take them made a few passerby's laugh
