any idea of mileage yet so i can put just the right amount of petrol in? i'm guessing it's not going to be a 300 mile monster


kev

 

LOL @ Kev....worried you won't keep up with the weight of a full tank?!

 

I never thought of such details last time, just went

 

charlie can you e mail me the startin point will come down an show off car but cant doo the run due to friends comin round would be rude not to be in .lol plus not sure id be on the pace with you lot

 

just the fact that i only have 3 & half cylinders and a shagged turbo


kev

 

The route I had in mind was about 70 miles, finish at one of three possible pubs about 8-8:30 ish

Start will be either Markeaton MaccyD's or somewhere near Etwall, can someone from that side let me know what is realistic at 6-6:30pm???

 

not sure what you mean which side?


kev

 

and one more post for the not so magical 1900 posts

 

If you're on about traffic volume, pretty much nothing around at that time of the evening - well, there wasn't half an hour ago!!

 

OK 52 side of MaccyD's it is

Route will be 'fluid' so I might just make my mind up as we go although I do know roughly which way we are going, how far we can realistically get and still, hopefully, eat

Just have to set myself an alarm so I dont forget!

 

Oh, forgot to mention, there will be lots & lots of corners

 

ill meet you at mc d's at 6 at markeaton island ...

 

Casper, if you're there before us, get me a chocolate thickshake!

Rachael

 

6-6:30 at McD's it is, no need for petrol because i already have some

just a warning, i had the dash apart at the weekend so if i come to grinding halt don't say i didn't warn you


kev

 

Think I'll have to miss this one. Starting a little too early for me at the moment. Busy at work and will probably not leave until 6:15 tonight

Next time

Steve

 

might be more like 6:30 for us as i'm taking Mikee to get his car in Chesterfield


kev

 

As I thought didn't get home from a work meeting till 20:00 this evening, so didn't post interest for this drive out.
Hope you all had fun tho... sure I'll make it for the next one

 

Gotta rank as one of the slowest runs ever!! What with Kev running out of fuel/cylinders/power ( ), and Mikee's new monster engine being held back to 3500rpm (and stalling at anything less than 2000!!), along with the odd emergency fuel stop......

Still, was all good fun!! Thanks for thinking/making-up the route CW.

Shame Casper couldn't stay on for longer - you car looks v. - you'll get up to full turbo cornering speed soon!!

Nice meal in the pub we stopped at - shame the heavens opened at the exact moment we stopped in the car park.

Oh yeah. The rondezvous point turned out to be perfect timing, no sooner had we & CW stopped, then Mikee & Kev turned up....along with a huge JCB!!

Dave & Rachael

 

i turned the boost off so Mikee could keep up


kev

 

Boost? You got Boost?

Never thought I reved it enough for that Makes a change to be able to admire the scenary, read the map, study the weather AND go round the corners

But even i was falling asleep with those pair of muppets on the A52 'What speed shall we do?, 50, no, 45, no, 40, no, 35, no, 40, no, but 45 through a 30 limit, oh yes!' then brake for EVERY bend, car, hedge, blade of grass

The only thing that kept me awake was the fear of running into the back of that Hi-Kux
