Hi guys,

Andrew from the S2K here. I've gone through the first pass of my photos and uploaded them here:

http://gallery.morfee.co.uk/index.php/Alpine-North-2011

You can download the full res versions directly should you wish from the photo pages. I didn't get decent photos of everyone so sorry about that! I may well add a few more over the next few days, but a taster below :D

Hope to see most of you on Monday evening, and thanks for a great time! Despite us being at the back a lot :leaving:

(Edit: Preview images sizes are being re-built to slightly larger)

[andywaterfall]

Excellent pics fellas!

Thanks Pete & Bachi for a brilliant week from start to finish. Even better than I expected, and that was after amazing tours in Scotland & Wales.

I've got some vids of me following Graham, Bob & Roger, but want to run it by them before I post them up here.

See you at the next one!

Andy (standard/boring grey M3)

[speedyellow]

For some reason just not enough of the body rolling TT there for my liking! lol

Stunning pics!

:D

[speedyellow]

As you can see the car has NO understeer what so ever...... lol

Love the blur in the background looks like it's actually going quickly!!!!

[verysideways]

Fru and Morfee - fantastic pictures!

I especially like the fact that the Cobra features so heavily... what a wonderful car. I'm guessing someone's got video of the Reims fly past? :)

[RogerRS200]

Awesome pics! Especially loving the one of that gorgeous little clio :)

What an amazing week as well! Cant wait to see more photos and the videos.

Also just noticed that I'm now a "Alpine '11 Veterain"........I like :)

[Tokyo-Joe]

Awesome pics guys :)

[andywaterfall]

On-board computer stats, starting & ending at Guildford:
58 hours
2490 miles
45mph ave
17.8mpg

Also £881 in fuel :eek:

[spiritof'76]

I'm still not looking :p

I thought someone was joking about taking a Nicky Clarke edition TT :rofl:

Andy, you may be shocked at your fuel bill but i'm actually impressed you managed to keep the bill under £1k................ must be all that slipstreaming you do ;)

[RogerRS200]

Ha, mine was 2529 miles, average mpg of 26.1 and fuel cost of £470 :) :) :)

[THUNDER STORM]

Great photos guys + gals

Does anyone have any photos of my Monaro? Love to see some.

Best regards

Ade:wavey:

[Morf]

Hi Adrian,

Hope you are doing well!

There should be a few of yours on my gallery link I posted on page one :cool:

[430berlinetta]

hey guys!! Thanks again for an epic trip to everyone!!!!!! Thanks also to everyone for amazing photos! I will post mine once I sort the 1500+ pics I took on the trip ! :)

[RogerRS200]

Just found a video showing Kurt's overtake on graham round a corner, unfortunately Kurt was right, the line is dotted. Us overtaking the bastard in the mx5 is on there as well. The overtakes looked fine, so must have been Naseem that pissed him off :)

[V6 2HOT]

Indeed it was I that right royally pissed him off judging from my footage!! I think I gave him the heebie-jeebies haha!! Great pics will upload once my laptop is fixed.

[THUNDER STORM]

Hi Morf, sorry I missed your link. Now I have seen the photos, they are great and my Monaro looks brill. Thankyou very much and hope to see you again sometime.

Best regards

The videos i've got add up to about 20gb! So...... 1) does anyone know of a good and free editing programme i can use to edit out the villages and crap like that?....and....2) shall i just put em on youtube? once ive edited certain parts :p

On a mac we have iMovie - ideal.

Youtube works - either public videos, or you can make them private which means people can only find them if you provide them the link ;)

Roger we're going to sort a dropbox so you can upload them so you can share photos and videos,

plus would you mind sending us some of the vids? we can upload selected ones to our own youtube channel

[RogerRS200]

Cheers guys :)

The emails will be quite large and may take time to download, lol, but will send over the best ones which are of the passes. However are you sure you dont mind the videos showing a Clio keeping up with your tour manager? :D

[speedyellow]

Sure he'd rather remember a Clio Cup keeping up than having a hairdresser in a soft top TT waving at him ;-)

[RogerRS200]

Very true! There was TT like yours following me yesterday, but it wasnt quite the same. This wasnt understeering at a rediculous speed or always trying to overtake me :D

[jdwcd]

havnt had my cc bill yet, im guessing £1500 touch.

[speedyellow]

Our bar bill was about that as well!

[speedyseven]

Prince Hussain

[430berlinetta]

^^^ hahahah that was very funny when you guys were teasing Nas telling him I was a prince, even though I was telling him," they are JOKING with you, I am just a regular guy! " Along with Kurt being a professional celebrity hair dresser and Andy an aircraft pilot! :)

Nas is a lovely chap and because he is so good hearted, he just believed everyone. You guys all made this a wonderful memorable trip! Hope to see you guys soon, maybe on another driving tour!!

btw Graham do you think i could get some of those great pics you took of the tour whenever you get a chance? thanks and I will get my set of pics posted up soon hopefully! :)

[Fatboy 18]

Fantastic pics, looks like you all had a great time :)

I would love to do something like that but work and family commitments limit me I'm afraid :(

I also think I would need a fuel tanker strapped to the side of my car! My fuel bill would have been well over a Grand!!!

I did just a bit under £1k in fuel on the 2010 Alpine tour..

[spiritof'76]

I would anticipate similar :o Clearly we all need Clio RS 200's................. i wonder how Renault would feel about me booking a test drive next summer and bringing it back a week later with two and a half thousand miles on the clock :p


Mark, have a think about Wales for next year :D it's a great way to get a taste of this touring lark :)

you could always get a 360 spider...
2,625 miles fuel cost was, £590

:bowtie:

:bowtie:

That's impressive.

I'd expect over £600's worth in my little Honda for that sort of miles.

Although I guess I'd have to work it pretty hard to keep up!

[430berlinetta]

Really Bachi? That is excellent, I was averaging 100 euros a day give or take on fuel in the 430!!!

Btw how are you feeling after your eye op? How you are feeling better and recovering comfortably. :)

[RogerRS200]

Yes you do all need Clio 200's! they're the way forward, especially as there's a new 240bhp Williams one coming out next year :)

[Fatboy 18]

i think i put 104 euros in one day but the rest of the days was always less than 70 some not even that.

recovering well thanks, blurry vision still due to the stuff i have to put in it but still ok :)

Worked out petrol costs only totalled £650! I must have missed a couple of cash fill ups. Looking at gallons used would be about £800.
