Hi SamT

No idea what the speed is yet - dont have a GPS to check, and on the solent trip it was a little choppy so was nowhere near WOT at any time. Gave her a run out in Cardiff the week before where she seemed to have good speed - but very hard to tell in knots. I am looking into a GPS, but as I have no 12v power onboard options are a little limited.

Also, there were no 4.7s around - just 2 SR4s and the 5.4s

Sad to have missed it.

I'm sad to have missed this one.

Had to sit in a safety boat all afternoon sheperding Oppies.

Next time maybe.

Superb day out!

Graeme;
It was good to meet you and your other half, pass on my thanks for helping us out on the slip
You managed to get some great pics, good to see a few of my SR4 on the water. Glad we weren't the only ones in an SR4

Olly;
Wish I'd taken you up on the offer of a go in the 5.4, defo reckon they're the way to go in conditions like we had on Saturday! Will have to speak to you more about garage dimensions some time

Nos;
Cheers for organising this one, could not have picked a better day!!
