I sincerely hope they will!

 

Rusty

divvy i know

 

Thats fine, just as long as they are not 1Mb each

I will stay up to post them if you want to send them now

 

2147KB total

thanks mate

 

Blimey Badger, I know you can get broadband in Carlisle but you still need to pedal a bit fater than that

I'll give you another five then I'm offski - will do it in the morning...if they have made it

 

sorry mate, reached my 2hour curfew

re-sent, you'll get them in the morning

Impreza WRX MY95 one careful owner

and me

on a slippery Scottish road near Selkirk

 

just seen the pictures

just putting them through photoshop now, should have tehm up in a jiffy

 

That was a day and a half to forget that one. Never mind Dave, you came out of it alright in two ways; You were OK and you got a newer car!

 

the REVERENT HARDING SAYS

those pictures show what can go wrong (and did) thank god he got out in one piece .
please can you ensure you all drive carefully on the RAID to your own ability , if you feel the pace is too hot, relax to it to your own comfortable speed i do not want anything like this to happen on the RAID we have 4 catch up points and noone will be left behind!!!
thanks (end of sermon for today)


what is your feelings on groups ? i thought maybe the fast should set off first before the next group by say 5-7 minutes as each check point is aprox 25 minutes so as the faster +screw loose groups catch up the fast (slow) !! can set off again


your comments are invited
(i think rusty wants me to organise a european raid !! next)

 

LOL - one way trip to the Med

 

I agree, I would set leave at 10 minute intervals in groups of 5 or 6 cars. On MTR'rs NM7 the cars just got bunched up and spoiled the run for me.
Those who consider themselves to be fast should set off first so we can take pictures of their write offs

 

Confirming my attendance. Put me down for a slow group! After all I do have a overweight, under powered Fugly

Steve

 

i'd just like to put forward a little note in my defence, just incase those who don't know me think i drive like a lunatic

the accident occured on the first corner after leaving a village that had been driven through at a sedate pace, with over hanging trees and the first rainfall in two weeks on a "notorious stretch of road" (scottish/borders policeman's words).

I'm still to this day not totally sure how or why, but the back end of the car just snapped away, extremely violently( just ask Jas in the Evo 7 who was dodging fence posts)

Cold tyres, heavy right foot, greasy road, excessive speed (but not by much truthfully) but who really knows, the results were, well you can all see.

I have been on a few MEETS and we all go out to enjoy the roads in our superb cars, I'M SURE THIS WILL BE THE CASE THIS TIME

p.s. anyone free to navigate

 

Thanks for those kind words to reassure the INVADERS and glad it hasnt put you off these meets again (im sure your not dissapoined by your RB5 replacement)do you want to be the official RAIDERS photographer!!!as you have shown us your portfolia !

 

when will i know times and meeting venue? trying to persuede girlfriend to come to navigate

 

hi flossy
junction 44 off m6 holliday inn car park


its the hotel next to PC world homebase and currys comet, meet between 10_1030 with departures up to 1050 for those recovering from jack daniels from the night before!!! tell the GF to get along my misses normally atends for the knucle ride and she will get a decent meal out of it. better than stopping in and washing hair!!! although shewill have to wash your scooby after it!!!!!!!!

 

this run is on the 24??? ANY super i penrith?? looks like only optmax seen a nice white classic steve

 

thanks for the info still working on girlfriend though

 

girlfriend coming now so thats two of us

 

We always run groups of 4, 5 max, with the fastest nutters at the front and the slowest at the back and about 5 inutes between groups.

They do not always finish that way round though! I trust you have heard of the Tortoise & the Hare?

If you do catch up another group just slow down or stop somewhere safe to admire the scenary for a couple of mins

Not sure if I am gonna make it up for this one, we have a Derby meet on the same day

 

I aim to be coming up for the karting then staying overnight somewhere (prob youth hostel) to go on the raid on Sunday.
I need to book my car in first to get the geometry checked due to my incident on the wales camping trip. Is there anywhere rocommended in Edinburgh who can do it (with laser equipment). I will try to get in TSL but I doubt they can accomodate me. Due to the tyre blowout I need to buy 2 tyres and get them fitted(yes I know I should get 4 but I cannot afford it) or take a chance on my 2mm tread set of tyres.
Charlie Whiskey which group sould I go on, the phsycho nutters, the insanely fast, fast or normal?

 

Welcome to the RAIDERS
a special sliding group prehaps PS i would get 4 tyres there is a rather lot of corners on the route and scared sheep and peasants!!!
look forward to meeting you

 

Hello people im back on-line after a lenthy absence, perfect conditions for sideways driving!!!!
count me in and bring your cameras!!
Hope everyone is well, dave,mike,mark,lord,badger etc
Just give me a date!!
J

 

Slider: to be honest I would put you in group II or III
I respect your driving but think you should be out somewhere in front Anyway you are better at navigating than some in group I

I'm sure you know what I mean, I do like to know who I am dealing with when it comes to groupings. If a group turn up together then by all means let them drive together as they will probably know each other better.

I think the trying to mix cars & groups up is a BAD idea!

 

Amen to that
