ok, first off, ignore the comments by mrscw42, as she is not coming. We cant get cover for the kids, so I don't want to drag them up to cumbria for a driving weekend, they will be bored 5 mins out of stockport!
The rooms available at lordhardings and his mums B&B are like this:
1 double bed and single bed in 1 room in lordhardings,
the same configuration in his mums up the road + another room with a double bed.
that makes a total of 8 sleeping spaces.
So, thats either 8 single blokes sharing :O, or blitz and your missus and ***** and his missus taking up 2 rooms, and 1 room left for lads!
How do you want to do this?
Maybe to solve any problems, the girls could share a double, and the lads would then be able to have the other rooms in peace?
Your thoughts please soon, as I will need to be telling lordharding what we are doing.
(His mum doesn't usually open in the winter, but to quote him: "as its the scoobys she will as she likes to hear them set off and likes to look at them on the drive !!!" Nice one Mrs Harding

More background on lordharding please.

*****, good morning, if you need to find out about someone on here, the best thing to do is to add them to your vip list, go to the list from the bbs homepage, and you can then see what they've posted and said in the past.
Lordharding is the "our man" in cumbria! He was the organiser and driving force behind the NBO last year, the biggest gathering of scoobys this country has ever seen (hopefully even more will show up this year john )
I've already been up to cumbria with blitzboy1, missyc and supertouring in November last year and had a great time with superb hospitality from john and his mum.
Be in no doubt, you will have a great time on this weekend!
chris

 

Thanks Chris,
I`m liking the sound of this, but, I`ll see how much this coming week will fleece me.

*****

 

I've got my 76,500 mile service due next week, going to book it in for monday next + I've a feeling I need at least new front brake pads, maybe discs!
That wont be cheap!
chris

 

that wasn`t discussed for this service cw42! you`ll have to save your pocket money now! and as for the weekend i`ll go, you stay! it sounds like more fun that staying at home alone with the kids!

Jxx

 

forgot to say hi to beefy and blitz, HI

Jx

 

buying you a laptop was the worst thing I ever did!!!
Ohmygod.
Help me out here guys, she is hijacking our threads to give me a roasting!!

 

Id better be nice to you Mrs CW42... I dont want my "bits she doesnt know about on my car" being mentioned if my other half meets up eventually.



I know its pathetic LOL

*****

 

A well deserved roasting as well! Keep it up MrsCW

 

Sounds like you are getting no sympathy on here CW....lol

If you need new brakes,my mechanic only charges £20 an hour, he fitted my brakes ...dont forget hes the one I mentioned, with the Spec C..


*****

 

nice to see some of you know who the boss is !!!!!!!! LOL
thanx guys

Jxx

 

thanks for the sympathy guys, and the offer of the mechanic *****, I may take you up on that one.
Im off next week as discussed earlier, so I will try and get everything done then.
Still trying for a remap, help me out guys, tell her indoors how much money we'll save in petrol once the fuelling is sorted.
*and more power, obviously!*
chris

 

you don`t need more power cw42! i`ve seen your driving......... on need 4 speed underground! LOL

J xx

 

Yes a remap is in order...safer for overtaking...

*****

 

Yes really a remap should be considered an essential part of scooby motoring, its far safer to drive with the extra torque and the fuel economy does actually increase as you overtake more often in a higher gear therefore the engine doesnt have to work as hard.

Will you remove the gun from my head now Chris?

 

i`ve had the trying to save money in other areas and now the enforce safety and environmental advice! the answer is still no! i shall have to drive it to make up my mind. thanx 4 the support guys but for cw42 the boss still needs workin on!

J xx LOL

 

Tested the waters with a "Might go to Scotland" this evening and it appeared favourable. Will likely do a Sat run up, overnight and back first thing in the morning.

 

A full remap is necessary for cumbrian roads due to air quality

something to do with the speed that we encounter on my little runs out to experience fast flowing hedges and rapidly decreasing views .

Anyone turning up at the NBO without a decat will be sent home in shame and be Banned from scooby -canonball 2005 (missy-Cs route)

Due to the high location of the accomodation excess power 280+BHP is required to drive up to the parking area.

Mrs CW42 is wellcome to join us as long as she drives us all back from the <meeting>at 1230 PM !!!! where many new <visions> will be discussed .

 

Is Mrs CW42 not talking to me then?

<sulking in the corner>

Who needs a remap and decat, I got the fastest time at the track day with my little old standard turbo, you guy's would have do better spending your tuning money on yourselves with a race instructor!

LOL

 

just off to bed now guys, time to work on the boss

[terry thomas] Oh I say! [/terry thomas]




should have a remap by the morning!

 

andy, edit that post before she sees it for gods sake man!!!!

 

too late! thanx andy for that info and hi you can stop sulking in the corner now. anyhow he cant afford it now i`ve just booked the family holiday LOL
c u soon,
J xx

 

So have we just booked the annual holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Florida, Ouch!!!!!!!!!

PS Chris serves you right for not calling in on Sunday night!!!!!!!!

And Dai say's he's not talking to me!

 

Chris,

Looking at your post times it seems you "worked on the boss" for about 15 mins, well done old chap keep up the good work. That must be worth a remap.

Sil.
