might be sensible to split us up into smaller groups..
a group of 11 is way too easy to split up due to traffic.. ?

Marv: you doing name tags so we know who is who ?

SOUTH YORKS CREW:
I will hopefully be meeting up with you at the retail park in meadowhall, can you multimap me exactly where you'll be.
I'll be coming off the M1 north after coming over the tops from glossop.
I should make it by 9:30, but if I'm not there by then, feel free to go on without me.
I'll catch the meeting place proper in Derby
cheers,
chris.
ps, if someone could pm me thier mobile, that would be useful. Thought I had yours cheesy, but I havn't

 

right, I'm setting off in a while, still no pm or contact from the south yorks crew
I'll go into meadowhall, listen out for me, and I'll have my walkie talkie on channel 3 if you hear me
see you all soon, hope it stops raining
chris.

Cheers to Paul & Marv

I love the way everyone follows me even when I went wrong !!

Great day,better than stopping in on a Sunday

Bring on next weeks meet

 

BIG thanks to Paul & Marv.

mick

 

Great day, thanks to Marv and Paul for making it happen.

Whens the next one!

 

Great drive out today guys, thanks for letting me tag along
I'll put some video footage of our little group of 5/6 up on the web asp.
Saw some "spirited" driving today, and some downright dangerous driving too, you know who you are
Apart from that, a great day out, and big thanks to my daughter who was navigating and saw micks mistake at the junction not far from the final stop (I presume it was you mick, in the blue car?)
Alan, how much will you pay me to not tell john what you did to "his" car LOL
I feel inspired to do a tour of cheshire now, hope you can all make it over for it, see you all again real soon,
chris.

 

Great day ...thanks to Paul & Merv

Chris...I don't know what your talking about....

Oh you mean when when I thought we were going in the wrong direction again and did a "controlled" 180 spin. I blame my co-pilot for the poor map reading

regards


Alan

ps don't tell John he'll get all upset
Ps

 

Hi All,

First of all, thanks to Paul and Marv for arranging this drive, you chose some really great roads, I have never treated my car like that!

Thanks to you all for making me and Julie so welcome, as I stated before I/we were apprehensive about what our reception would be like, but you treated us like one of the 'gang' so thanks for that!

I think my poor sport is in need of some TLC after the action seen today - just hope there won't be puddles of oil on the garage floor tomorrow. But I think the ol'gal did well to keep up - so I'm more than happy.

The weather was p**s-poor on the way back, tail-backs on M1(S) and M69 back to Coventry, a WRX(STI?) had totalled it on the M69 (hit central reservation and must have rolled it - because it was a mess) - I hope the occupants are OK...

Can't wait until the next meet - availability pending.

Thanks once again

Paul & Julie (birthday girl)

 

looking forward to that CW42!

Was good to meet Mark and Sam, Foxmod flateric (and partner) and yourself (and daughter)..
Shame no S/Yorks lads.. maybe next time eh chaps?

Was very enjoyable today- knackered now the adrenaline has finally worn off..
Think the phrase- 'drive it like you stole it' could hav been applied to several people today

btw chris- We'd be up for the cheshire meet

 

Definately... i must apologise for not attending today. Got an unexpected call last night and as a concequence had to work today

Hope you all had a good day

Cheers

Chris

 

Marv & I thought you enjoy today more open roads than last time and an extra stop so we can chat ect. so standby for the next PEAK TOUR we will post up over the next couple of months in the warmer weather.Look forward to the next one,it will be hard to top the last one!!!

 

My thanks too to Marv and Paul for the great route. Pity the weather matched some of the sunday drivers .
I made it back home in time for my roast, and without having to re-fuel!
Hopefully I'll manage to get the video off my camera onto my PC, not having much luck so far. Once I do, I'll stick some highlights up.

Marv, PM me with where you want the tape sent and I'll post it in the next day or 2.

Thanks again,
Martin.

 

Fantastic day, (I'm NOT shaking this time )good to put faces to scoobynet names, and looking forward to seeing you all again very soon. Can't make the Midland BIg One, due to some family stuff, but Skeggy is looking good for me.

I'll add Marv and Paul did a great job with maps etc, as well as getting some great roads for use to play on.

Chrome, thanks for for chat, good to see another Nottingham face. CW42, I've got to get a camera! MDBinaWagon, glad you made it back. Flatericuk.glad you both came for this one, and will look forward to meeting you again.

Once again today was the a day I just Luv my car

All the best to everyone who came along

Dave

Sorry i could'nt make it today lad's, but the Engine check light keep's coming on when i give it some so i did'nt want to push it to much, glad you all had a good day tho, i saw some of you round the ladybower, looked like a good turnout as well, you all flashed and waved cheers for that, maybe see you all next time
chrissy

 

that would have been our group
(Group2)

 

vids nearly ready

 

ok, here it is! peak tour 04

It's in windows media format, because I will put it on my pda.

it's 14.4mb in size, so not so long to download on a broadband

connection.

I've only filmed the first 2 parts of the route, as the tape ran out

just as we left the strines inn, and I couldn't stop to change it.

This is just a sample of the film, I have most of the journey on tape,

but I cut out all the boring bits through towns

I can transfer the full film on vhs or put a proper sized mpeg file on cd

if any of the group I was in want a copy ( I still have your contact details

mike and will post sometime in the week)

enjoy,

chris.

 

Not bad at all..

any chance you could re encode the last 10 minutes or so at higher quality?
just want to see how stupid I was - and learn from it..
(you know which bit I mean)

 

ah! so it was you chrome
I'll see what I can do m8, no problem. I'll even put a multimap image on here so you can see at which point you decided to overtake
check back later today,
chris.

 

Ok chrome, here it is in all its glory
Probably not the best place to overtake, but I'm sure we've all done some bad overtaking ourselves in the past
Here's a map of the bit you overtook on, which when you look at it, doesn't seem to bad, but on the road, it did seem like a blind summit on a blind right hander to me


And there's the video of course

VIDEO

Have fun, drive safe, see you soon,
chris.

 

maybe it wasnt the best move ever
fair cop guvnor.
I saw the corner on TomTom and judged it that I had plenty of room to get in well before it, and obviously I was conscious of the blind bend.. and was watching for any oncoming..

ah sod it. I wont defend it.
I probably caused some brown trousers on the part of the fiat.. my bad.
my mistake.
*slaps forehead*

I'd like to have another crack at the hairpin ridden stretch again at night.. PIAA's on and give it some proper stick.

btw- its a real shame you didnt catch the Lady Bower section
Was fun.


I need an onboard camera myself

 

Martin - you have PM

Cheers m8

Marv

 

flateric- how's your car mate? sprung any leaks?
Martin- any footage of the last section? fancy burning a CD??

 

Nah - all clear. Will take it easy for a bit and check the oil when I get a moment. The brakes have started squeaking a little, only done it a few times so will have to keep an eye out. Sports have drums on the back and poxy-small discs on the front - I've probably left half of them going down the hill that's on the video.
