There is a thread one here with mine in Pete. I'll find it. Mine is an N/A G-Limited Auto too. Pretty much a finished project other than the interior. Watch this space.

Outside yes! Inside no! Not a fan of the red leather in these. You never seem to see many of the blue with white interior specced ones. Is that a special order colour?

Can't wait till you turn up in an M4!

Yep. Or 'ruined it' depending on if you're a fan of extensive bodywork or not!

I second that motion. It was 400miles for me just on the recon mission!

There will be more of these so fear not! Let’s hope we get good weather for this one and I’ll arrange another one in the spring 😎

Next time Jon! We’ll do another one providing this one is a success. Already thinking about the next best location 😀

Awesome! Although if you know anyone in the market for a supermodded MR2 they can come!

Evening all, just thinking on, has anyone publicised the Derby event on any of the other forums or on the evil Facebook?I’m not a member on the other forums and consider Facebook the work of Lucifer himself but if anyone has the means and inclination to assist in spreading the word, please go ahead! 😎

I second that motion. My CLS350 AMGline was bad enough.

On a serious note, I’d prefer a ‘proper’ C63. 6.2 V8 Normally Aspirated. I can see the draw of a turbo driven smaller engine in terms of emissions and economy but, in my honest opinion, there’s no replacement for displacement.

Hahahahahahahahahshahaha! 🤣🤣

I thought as much. Too many fakes out there these days!! We all know the real one is an RCF (yours) anyway. Now if only you could get it to stop calling you Michael 😂

That’s as far as I got too! Anyone else know the others? Yeah, a mate and I looked at it last year, not quite within my budget either! Makes me wonder what you actually get for that amount of cash?

Was at that one too @Big Rat 😁 it was another ace day. So 14 in attendance there including 12 F cars. Hope we can set a new UK F-Club best in Derbyshire!

Evening all. Been taking a look at the various stopping points and some suitable eateries to save us having a gaggle/flock/herd of hungry F owners wandering about as lack-of-food-related anger sets in. Did a fair bit of Googling and Trip Advisering and the following look like some good options for the associated legs of the trip. These are just suggestions of course so feel free to do your own research and post any suggestions; Leg-1 Matlock - Late Breakfast Parking here will be on street as close as we can get to this place but it’ll just be a quick stop for tea and bacon rolls so we’ll pretty much be stood by the cars anyway. Matlock Cafe, 9 Bakewell Rd, Matlock DE4 3AU According to all accounts this gaff does the best bacon rolls in Matlock. Leg-2 Buxton - Lunch Loads of choice here. All the guides say to park by the Old Hall Hotel and walk back past the Crescent and Opera House then take your pick. We’ve got 90 minutes scheduled and we’ll obviously be eating here later on so, personally, I’ll be eating pretty light at lunch then a decent meal later on. A few good options are shown below; Cafe at the Green Pavillion, 4 Terrace Road, Buxton, SK17 6 DR No. 6 The Square, 6 The Square, Buxton, SK17 6AZ The Lone Star Cafe Bar, Old Court House, George Street, Buxton SK17 6AY Leg-3 Ladybower Inn - Refreshments By far the easiest choice...... we are already there. Leg-4 Buxton - Dinner (or “Tea” if you are a proper Northerner) Back in Buxton and the choices are far wider for the evenings entertainment. I’m not sure how many of us will be staying around here other than the overnighters but if any day trippers are planning a brief respite before heading on home then the Premier Inn, where the overnighters are staying, has a decent bar so we can chill for a while and finish off the day. Any wishing to join the overnighters for food can stay on. Let’s assess numbers on the day and those of you with phones that weren’t made in the late 17th century can take a look at TripAdvisor and pick a suitable gaff for us all to grace with our presence. Any comments or suggestions are always welcome. Really looking forward to this now!

Fear not mate, mine mainly cosmetic mods!

Loving all these posts! Don’t forget to pick me up at Newport Pagnell services on the M1 gents. It’s after junction 14 but before junction 13. It’s the one with the mahoosive salt bin on the northbound carriageway side. There’s no’s sign to say Newport Pagnell services on the northbound side though so you’ll have to be on full alert not to drive past it! 😲 Ill drop you a text on my electrical telephone device on the day a Cezar! 😜

Awesome! Are we going for the F-Record at one event? What’s the current best?

Hey all, just to make sure. The one we are booking into is at 131 London Road, Buxton, SK17 9 NW 😎

Mine too, best price seems to be direct with Premier Inn.

All good, get it booked gents and that’s us sorted 😎

All good Cezar, I see you’ve already checked out the other thread but do let me know if you find better prices or places . Always open for a good deal!

Me too mate. Peter, Paul, are you ok with the Premier Inn?

I'm easy either way guys and gals. Both look good but one is obviously £50 back in your sky rocket. I'll wait to book until everyone votes. Looking at previous polls it looks like it's the following members for the overnight stay; @NothernDan @Cezar B @Womble72 @Peter P18 are there any other overnighters that I've missed? I'm conscious a few people made comment in the threads but may not have voted.
