Matt's "Ribblehead to Buttertubs Epic drive 2012" Photos.

[Matthew]

Here are my photos from the day.

Epic drive this year, Ribblehead to Hawes is one of the best roads in the UK IMO.

Boiled brakes and a few heart-in-mouth moments too

Who's is the Trophy?

Hugh's R26.R looks p**n.

The SLK AMG looks immense, too.

 

[Scott™]

Nice pics. Whats so special about the roads? They look flat and straight? You need to come to Wales

After visiting Wales, they are just as good

 

[Matthew]

Who's is the Trophy?

I cant remember his name, Mike knows...

The openess and smooth tarmac make driving quick and safe really easy

.

Ian holdsworth, lives by me. Tidy trophy too!

tbh the good driving roads aren't pictured, the road over the hill from the viaduct is amazing, couldn't shake Hugh's R though which is an absolute beast. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't on piston heads last night

 

[Matthew]

Matt couldn't shake Hugh's R though, despite epic car control

EFA.

 

[jim cook]

Trophy is mint

 

[chris_p]

Nice little line up there!

Matt, loving the RB, it just needs something else though..
I'm not saying that to put a downer on it or anything! And I totally get why you're going this route, I really do, but it could just do with something to make it stand out a little more?

R26r...mmmm

Im enjoying the standard+ route to be honest Chris, I don't have to avoid potholes

 

[Johnpacey1]

Good pictures mate.

Thanks for organising it, it was a good day.

I think those that said the roads look flat need to come next time!

 

[RDH]

Great pics Matt! Looks like a proper road too! Love that SLK!

Thanks mate, no worries!

Definatly not what you would call flat...

Great pics Matt! Looks like a proper road too! Love that SLK!

Thanks mate.

 

[Richyy182]

Lol, as said I totally understand your thinking behind going this direction.
A subtle drop, stubby arial, and shiny silver wheels would set it off. Maybe even stripe it?

 

[col182]

Some lovely cars there, that R26.R looks immense!

I would like a nice set of 172 cup wheels it must be said

 

[HANDSOME RICH]

Great drive, best fun I've had for along time with my clothes on....

 

[andywa]

Great pics.

 

[andywiddss1]

[Matthew]

Cheers lads. Brilliant day out....

Ill try organise another Whitby run when I can.

 

[Gums88]

[-louis-]

Great pics, loving that R26!

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Looked good Matt, Hope there is going to be another one soon!

 

[leeds_182]

Good shots homes.

 

[Adamm.]

The things I would do for that R26R.

 

[sam55]

Such nice cars and such an awesome looking piece of tarmac. I never fully took advantage of spending 3 years of Uni in Leeds. This is definitely a road I plan to visit next time I'm up in Yorkshire. Living in London's so crap when you want to go for a drive

 

[harrison88]

Nice pics! I see you all met up at Keighley Halford's, I'm only down the road in Silsden. Give me a shout next time, I'd love to tag along if that's cool

Its an awesome drive mate.

Settle to Ribblehead to Hawes to Buttertubs is excellent.

Only a couple days late with my pics chaps.

 

[TomRS182cup]

I have just been sent the link to this thread by Mike.

It was a brilliant day out, so thanks for organising it Matt and thanks for everyone who came along it was a real laugh and some stunning roads. I particularly enjoyed having a little play with the R26.R although that thing is pretty much unbeatable. The things I would do.....

Sorry about blasting off over to Otley at the end of the day I had somewhere to be

 

[Sam]

The pics look wicked.

Looks like a good run out.
