Hi all, I'm still with you. Thinking of going next Monday, what time is usual and do we bring girlfriends, mine's keen to come along. Had my 10,000 service at J*****'s a week ago and it seems to be running a fair bit smoother, as they do little else than change the oil I wonder why? D.

 

D1ccy,

Some people take their wives/partners/girlfriends, some don't. Sometimes my missus comes with me and it's a gentle(ish) drive there, other times it's "boys-only" and we meet up in Hull and have a more spirited drive there

It generally depends on who's going from Hull as to whether the girls come or not!

Housequake - No it wasn't me as I was at work...

Where is the Yorkshire meet?

 

spirited drive?....i like that.
we meeting at kingswood mcdonalds at 7pm?
is that still handy for others going??

i came up behind a car last night over 3 figs ,is all that i'll say..on bev bypass going to hull
was gonner overtake it and the lorry it was sat behind (as u do) but there wasnt chance before the big roundabout...
came up alongside it at the roundabout, a white 4door volvo
looked across and 3 bright yellow jackets sat staring at me..

sphincter shrinker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway was on bp sul.....it was not as quick feeling as when its on opti!!

 

James,

Buckles Inn, A64, near York. See the Yorkshire Meet thread for more details.

I'll be making my own way there as g/f lives in Melbourne on the way. Just to worry everyone, a friend of a work colleague got 3 points and £60 FPN (mobile fleecing unit) for doing 33 on Bude road in front of ASDA at Kingswood. I know 30.1 is breaking the law but this is silly, I normally do 2 mph over on the clock presuming speedo error will leave me safe, crumbs I spend more time looking at the clock than where I'm going and it's getting worse.

 

D1CCY/PUM - have you managed to stick to 30mph on Hedon Road. I'm really really struggling - especially when there's a milk float doing the same speed!!!

 

30 along there is silly, I keep up with the traffic in generally the nearside with my eyes in the distance looking for suspicious vans (still often more than 30) 'cos I know cameras get put along there, and end up getting stuck behind left turning lorries. If push came to shove I doubt they could make a conviction stick as the signs are well wrong - spray painted out old 40 signs and the temporary 30 signs are on one side of the road only. Rather avoid testing this out. Oh yes and as you leave Saltend there's a 40 sign at the roundabout and no temporary 30 sign until after the next roundabout going into Hull.

 

I'm quite lucky - cos I work in Preston, I go Bilton way...

 

james-main rd bilton is one of the published sites for the camvan!!
take care mate..

re boring ride up hedon road....its not how fast u go its how u do it....use reverse
this site has all the places they use..but not when!!

might make it Monday - but will mean I have to give up my Reflexology session, and leave Ferne to babysit

Still, she wont read this until tomorrow at the earliest, so I'm safe for now.. HA! Ave it, biatch!

7 pm at MacD's on Kingswood, yes? If I'm coming I'll be there, but I'll be dawdling to York - I'm only running it on 95, not Opti or SUL so it'll be even slower than before Can't afford the extra pennies, it's nearly Xmas you know!

 

What time is everyone thinking of heading back to Hull after the meet - cos I've got to be up at 5am for work and am wondering wether its worth me tagging along...

 

i will be at mcdonalds 7pm and my m8 big john in his import. we come back at about 10:30ish as i also get up for 5 am.
ferne its hard work 30mph so just keep up with the other cars, and keep an ye out for the cam van's (dark blue).
ads where was you go'in yesterday, i had just come back from manchester airport, never went over 155 mph.

 

Pum - just been talking to Big John and booked my car in for MOT on Monday (must remember to put the standard size number plate back on )

He was telling me about some rallying at Cadwell Park on Sunday - sounded pretty good. Anyone fancy a drive out to watch???

Paul - 95 RON fuel??? You tight-ar$e

7pm at McD's sounds OK to me!

 

tight? me?

For plodding down Hedon Road at 30mph why pay £600 per tank full when she can do the same for 50p?

Might treat the car to some SUL on Monday though

 

Forgot to ask, wtf is reflexology ???

I always run mine on Optimax but I put a tankful of BP SUL in recently - it was more expensive, the car was less responsive and I got less mpg! I wouldn't put normal unleaded in mine cos inside the fuel flap it says Super Unleaded Only.

ps. Did you see Debs waving on Saturday??

 

yes, didn't you see me waving from the front window?

Reflexology is here a nice old dear sits you down in a chair and basically massages your feet for 45 minutes or so - it's very relaxing and means I ge 45 mins peace and quite to chill.

There is also supposed to be some spiritual benefit to do with "negative energy" and the like, but I don't buy into any of hat, it's just nice on the odd occassion to have some quality relaxation time

 

PERVERT

 

Awww bless - he's not a perv, you're just jealous.

 

Ferne,

Believe me, I am NOT jealous But each to his own eh??

Steve

 

morning all! steve when you got your booked in for MOT?

 

Mornin Pum, car's booked in for 9am Monday.

 

Ferne, Any news of your contract, I've just been told I'll no longer be required after 24th December, Happy Christmas eh? as a pensioner (wonder if I'm the fastest pensioner round here) it's no big deal for me but I'll have to find something in the new year to keep me off the streets. D.

P.S. Car pulling like a jet fighter in this cold weather, shame it's 30 and 40 limits all the way to work.

 

I'm so sorry to hear that Dick - bet you're really pi$$ed off. I'm sure you'll be sorted pretty quick though. Are you with and agency or self employed? I've still not heard anything.

 

Not upset, could do with a short rest. Pension pays all the bills with some left over. Just means that those lovely bronze 18s from TSL will have to wait a while (£1300+vat+GSD3s will cost over 2k). I fancy a dark coloured wheel and Prodrive don't do the titanium PFF7 in 18.

With Rullion, they may find something else but I'm institutionalised here. May apply to B&Q to keep me off the streets.

 

steve i am going to see big john on saturday afternoon if you want to follow me up for a natter?

 

yes please - gimme a ring on Saturday to remind me!!

 

no probs m8 will ring you at 11'ish sat morn.
diccy if anything comes up down at fs27 i will let you know.

 

bloody ebay and stella
