Really enjoyed it as well, although did manage to take a wrong turn on the way back and lose everyone lol.

Don\'t worry Chris, Sean went a different way to his planned route back so there was a bit of confusion.

You were in front of us and I think you waited when we were stuck behind the horse box turning right up to Stowe but my other half then got board and took me down some back lanes which got the Rex very muddy!

Sorry Chris ... I *thought* there might have been a FD missing somewhere... We paused at Stowe for a few minutes, but when I phoned Ann - who couldn\'t hear me - I eventually picked up they went a different way and promptly forgot about the "other" red car! :(

Anyhow - I hope that didn\'t ruin your enjoyment - the remainder of the route might have!

TomTom royally screwed with the route I had planned... hence the long pause at the start as I frantically tapped buttons to check the route... I was convinced I should be turning right, yet TomTom insisted on going left... THEN when we reached Buckingham, it started directing me back towards Silverstone to hit the waypoint I had programmed in!!
TBH, the route back wasn\'t that great -- some good parts but quickly descended into single track lanes with lots of pedestrians, cyclists and oncoming 4x4s as we approached Chesham and Latimer to get back to Chorleywood. I had not recceyed the route - just picked what I THOUGHT was a good route. Lesson learned. Next time we shall Keep It Simple, Stupid (that\'s me, not you!) and just follow A413 back - it\'s a wonderful drive in any direction! :D

Don\'t worry Sean it was a fab run up first thing and everyone enjoyed the Sliverstone tour so that\'s the main thing. :chat

That\'s alright, the run back was good managed to not get stuck behind anyone for the best bits of road. It\'s the first time I have really taken the car on a longer run on some decent roads.

I\'ll definitely be coming to the next one
