Phil, added you to the Rallydrive list as a "TBC", fingers crossed.

I've also added someone called Chris. I think that was your name, and I don't remember your Snet name 'cos I'm hopeless with names and having to remember 2 really messes me up. Please post here or on the Rallydrive thread to confirm M8.

Another great night. The turnout is just getting better and better. How big is this thing gonna get when the fair weather returns? Roll on spring and some drive out ideas

Steve, hope the wee'un is OK.

 

CB just posted on the funday thread.

great night, it was good to mingle a bit more and get to know some of the other guys aswell.

Mick...
dodgy kebab for me after everywhere was shut!!!!! definetly food at the bridge next time

 

Brilliant do as usual. I think we need to have a 'stand up and introduce yourselves' section to the proceedings, as there's a danger that everyone sticks in their own groups and doesn't get around to meet everyone.

Al, I might even have those photos developed in time for the next meet!! Especially the one with you and the Old Leather Pickers sign

 

Kev

 

My and Sticky had a great blast home... he had a nice slide, tail out and it sounded really nice... was bloody freezing all the way home listening to the sticky Zorst! As he rightly siad I could kip in it! Zorst Envy!

We had a conversation about clear film to protect the front of the bonnet in the pub...
and duly he proceeded to make my mind up on the way home... crossing the line on Huds road going very fast with me behind him... "obviously catching" i ended up with the entire west yorks gritting deposits sandblasting my motor... its even in the back seat Least he made it up by getting the Tea on!

Thanks again to all , a good meet...

Or and it was 75 under the bridge! hehe! you must had soemthing stuck under the loud pedal, evosticky!

 

really enjoyed the night seeing as it was my first time, some good chareters thier and some fantastic cars, will definatly become a regular.

-Nick DF- Definatly food at the bridge next time, I ended up with a crappy cheeseburger from a kebab shop, lets just say i didn't get a lot of sleep last night. "As anyone got a polo cushion"

Mick

 

Kel, I was infront of the white RA, 'slightly enthusiastic' almost covers that final roundabout! (Well it's a type of corner isn't it?)

Sticky: Very nice motor M8, top colour obviously! Is that enough grovelling for you to let me off that pint? I'll owe u another soon when I need a couple of stickers re-doing after the new splitter arrives from Japan .

Edited to add, thanks for asking Dave but got home to chaos & mayhem ie Little-un taken a turn for the worse in the vocal stakes

 

I have to admit that i was tempted to try taking it at the same speed although i changed my mind midway through and hit the brakes (almost hitting the nearside exit kerb in the process)...

I have to admit, your car was looking pretty damn stable on that last roundabout - i'll stick a camcorder to the Type RA next month so we can all enjoy it together I'll put my lack of roundabout taking ability to the 16" alloys and in-experience Oh well, i guess i should pick up a trick or 2 on the rally day!

Kel

Dazza...
75 under the catchpenny bridge pretty impressive mate.
Evoboy... did you have the handbrake on!!!

65 in mine today. (wet/slussy)

See you sunday Stic.....Erm.....EVOsticky!!!

 

Gary.. a little unfair mate

I had that crappy people carrier in between that let you out at the pub.. plus I had 7 cars behind (note to self: we MUST get a camera on that bend next time 8 of us 'Red Arrow' down there) .. as a responsible wing man.. it was my duty to keep the Squadron together... Flight Sergeant Rear Gunner Evo, made sure our tails were free of enemies.. until Pilot Officer Dazza took over duties.. Tally Ho!!

You on the other hand, being a Top Gun 'Maverick' could do what you wanted.. looking good and posing..... Which you did very well..!!

The Squardron did catch up on the down hill left as we approached ..oh.. 64 MPH... then came the roundabout...

Andy..

Sorry about the lights.. Sqn Ldr Sonic did tell me about them after tailing him in to 'The Bridge'. I'll get them adjusted overe the weekend... Your Horbury Bridge speed was very... err... let me see... 'Enthusiastic'.. I didn't get chance to flash and wave Bi as I went to Wakey.. I just saw the tail lights dissapear around the junction... quickly..

Five grins... must have been a good night..

 

Al,

The "enthusiastic" bit was probably due to me crawling through there stuck in traffic most times so when the coast's clear... Couldn't you keep up?

It's getting the fine line between enthustistic / ******** / nicked / pranged sorted when the red mist is present - I tried to calm down a bit after then as it gets into tyre & suspension mashing roadworks

That corner where I turned left and you went straight on can be dodgy as it's normally a 1st/2nd gear job with anchors on - not a high speed cruise round as it's *** paper clearance time for cars coming the other way I've had a moment or two there.

Next time it'll be a bit more sedate...

Apple

 

Andy - you? sedate? I can still smell that clutch lining when I drive past Fenay Bridge....

 

Alan,
if road works are still there next meet.
go straight ahead at mini r/bout on Rodley/or Rooley lane? instead of right.
i went back that way and its roadworks clear!

 

Andy... I'm not sure about the 'authoratative' precence around there.

So I did back off a tad..

Sqn Ldr Gary... Wilco mate.. good idea... I'll ask for a 'recon' trip to check out if it's clear before the next meet. It was quite a chunky roadwork and may be there some time as it works it's way up the road...

Damn.. the 13th seems to be dragging... Dave, ave a word and make it hurry up!!

 

CB......Where did you get the mudflaps from they looked the bizz mate......

Great meet again guys.... the sound & sight of the convey as you pulled into the bridge
was awesome......

roll on next month..

 

H-B,

Underneath the calm exterior beats the heart of a .......

I have my moments - they're just not as often as some other people have 'em

Apple

 

Andy -

Al - get another thread posted for the next meet quick Mate. This last one was great!

 

Hey gang, thought i'd get my thanks in to Al and all who turned up again, I think to make it a new record turn out...

Scary letting bro drive me home, he nearly took out the mini traffic island on the exit of the car park, LOL. I was a nervous wreck for the next 4 1/2 minutes... before the car was safely on the drive... Never again...

C U all next month!

Simon

 

hey simon, cut your bro some slack.
It is a bugger to see that island ,i nearly drove straight over it after first meet!

 

He gets plenty of slack dude, I let him carry on driving didn't I

Was only drinking shandy myself...

Besides, I like winding him up and I know he'll read this at sometime.... Soz kid... Only joking...

 

Simon,

He did look kind of worried. Nervous anticipation?

I made sure I was out of the car park before he set off (yes, nearly hitting that friggin Island, again); though it would have been cool to see your face as he pulled away!

Regardless of age and experience, I must admit that you're a braver man than me...

 

Four and a Half Mins, Si?? How does that compare to your usual 'Bridge to Home Run'?

 

That Optimax mate....is mine... Pump No: 5 was it? Didn't you see my name on it and the warning about use without permission...?

I did beep my horn and shake my fist... but I think you caught the back end of my Salty coloured car...

 

Chris

Felt like an eternity.... but only 4 or 5 minutes. Me, 2.... Only kidding...

The kid did alright actually, but he aint getting the keys to the car whilst I am skiing next week... LOL. Sod that for a game of soldiers...

I'm just waiting for him to register on here so he can post some defensive messages...

Alan, to be honest, I only saw it at the last minute. I know I want new alloys but that aint the way I want to go about it...

Laters
Simon

 

Simon , i take it you will be giving your brother the keys on the 13Th.
go on dont be tight!

 

WooHoo

Managed to get booked in for my gauges fitting at ScoobyMania at 9am tommorow. Does anyone know a good sandwich shop near there.. oh & something I should of asked them on the phone...

"Where the hell is it..Nottingham is a big place"

Phil

 

Si - 2 mins 50 I reckon, given a decent run through the bends.....
Fancy a pint on Thursday, before you hit the slopes?

 

silver

I mentioned handing him the keys the other day, and his face lit up. But I am really not that brave... Only just renewed my insurance yesterday... Don't suppose his insurance will be too keen on insuring him in a car that has 240bhp more than his usual daily driver. Insurance is such a barsteward for 18 yr olds, even on a 1000cc Corsa... I keep telling him though, the best things come to those who wait...

Chris

Thursday sounds good to me, touch base with you in the next day or so....

Cheers

Simon
