The Autumn (and winter for that matter) Scrambles are my favourite. There is something special about a colourfully leafy Sunday that adds to the occasion, and this year was no different.
16 of you from across our locations joined us for the run out – the essence of scrambling begins. Getting split and re joining the group randomly, or even forming new groups can be something one must get used to when traveling in strong numbers. In fact, once aware, this is a rather nice characteristic of this lovely seasonal event.
Like the claw from Toy Story as we filter in, there is always 1 that gets picked for the display - this quarter it was Steven in his F8 Tributo. I wasn’t surprised.
However, pound for pound the pick of the day in the GQ convoy was Tom in his 996 C4S. Two very subtle mods help set it apart (will leave you to guess). OK, yes, the colour combo and 3 peddles help a tad, too.
There was one small mishap though. Will let the photo do further talking. We actually feel partly to blame as it seems we may have been the last to drive her! (Jury is still out). However, given how ace the GQ Crew are, these things somehow make up the day and as you can see from the smile, all was well.
The event is continuing to go from strength to strength – almost like Goodwood in the early days. Leaves one wondering where it might go next... From memory it was simply a fiver to get in. Here’s hoping the latest price is going someway to maintaining the very special location. That, the quality of the coffee coupled with the relaxed nature of casually parked F40’s next to E38’s make this such a special event.
Icing on the cake is that it’s all over before you know it and you are back in time for Sunday lunch. The only evidence being slightly darker front alloys! Or perhaps a little ketchup or coffee down your hoodie.
To register for the Winter one (5th January) hit the button below and we’ll get you on the guest list. As always, all GQ-ers are welcome but Care Pack and Half Board owners are complementary (while tickets last!)
A special thank you to fellow owner Harry for helping coordinate the day – and providing the jerry can!
