    For those around Swindon area, after Blenheim Palace apparently they are going on a little tour, with a few laps of Castle Coombe before returning to the dealership.

    As I'm fairly close by, I might have to pop up to Castle Coombe at some stage and see what can be seen!

    We were with the Meridian Modena group on Wednesday this week. Met at Goodwood circuit before heading to the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth for lunch. A superb day, meeting some terrific people during the day.

    What was especially nice though was the evening after at the dealership launching/unveiling the 812 Superfast. What a car!.....but what a night! Meridien Modena did themselves proud.

    Met a few of the lovely folks we'd spoken to on the anniversary run & ended up drinking the complimentary champagne until late that evening evening before watching the 812 & LaFerrari Aperta being loaded into the trucks just before midnight.....only to see a 2nd LaF Aperta on the same truck!!

    In all, a pair of invitations that my wife & I were very pleased we accepted!

    I've been invited along for the Carrs Exeter section, but as I'm currently in a Bentley, ferrari-less for the first time in 15 years, I feel like I'm letting the side down, plus, my max driving range is about 20 miles even in the armchairs of the Bentley due to this cancer, so unless they are planning lots of stops, I'd be a burden to everyone! Wish all who take part the best fun, I did a lot of stints of the 2007 version (where 599 was the star, along with a few enzos etc and police liveried 612) and had a great time meeting lots of interesting owners and their fabulous cars

    The crowds were amazing in every town we went to. The people must have been 10-20 deep down some of the streets. The route was certainly well publicised and Ferrari must be very pleased.
