OK, our guide has let us down, so I will endeavour to get us to the Floutch Roundabout to rendezvous with the S. Yorks guys. After that, hopefully they will lead us down to Ladybower over the most interesting route.

Alan C

I'm not jealous or anything.. but I hope you had a great run and evening.. Sorry I couldn't be with you.. but I had a few beers on me own and prayed to the gods of empty dry roads and no other cars apart from flying sccobs..

See you next Thursday..

Al.

Fantastic fantastic fantastic fantastic fantastic fantastic fantastic fantastic fantastic fantastic fantastic

Grr.... Well peed off that I had to miss this one guys...

As I mentioned to Dave, Al, Gary, Dai, Sticky and Cheesy on the phone, had to finish some urgent electrical cr*p on new property. Blame Mr Ikea's comprehensive wiring diagrams - not compatible with mid-70s town houses.....

Sounds like Dave did you all proud with the directions. Next time, Sticky & I will lead on our bikes.

See you all next Thursday, some before....

PS. If it's any consolation, I didn't electrocute myself....

The WYIOC

Delighted one's club enjoyed itself.

Great run Apologies for the odd wrong turn upto meeting Cheesy and Co. I had to rather hastily knock up some directions and hope that they would make sense Some of the group managed to get lost on the straight run with no turns over Strines and I'm sure someone didn't make it (apart from the guy with the fading brakes) but I don't know who. Brilliant that so many newbies joined us, even if we did scare you witless Thanks to Cheesy for popping along with a few mates, we must do it again sometime, now I can keep up with you

Hope to see many of you next week at the TP

Bloody brilliant

What fantastic roads, we ARE definitely doing that again

The group got a bit split on the way back unfortunately, 2 of the group got stuck in traffic as we left the pub so waited at the left turn for em and the rest of ya all buggered off up the road However Dave was replaced by an equally fearless guide in the shape of a local in an Isuzu Trooper and I'm tellin ya this guy would have given you a run for ya money Dave, he was bloody mental, I lost ground to him on a couple of corners We then got stuck behind a Nissan Bluebird for a bit but Mr Isuzu wasn't having that and promptly overtook him along a stretch of pitch black road leaving us to fend for ourselves, after bloody miles finally got passed and then realised that meant I would have to lead, there were a few moments but we survived

Got to a crossroad and had no idea but M1 was signposted so followed that and came on at J36, then as we were travelling up the M1 who should we spy up ahead?? Andy

Excellent night

Apple

There's always one who'll pass you at any speed

Went sown Rivelin Valley and was followed for a while by a set of lights that eventually turned into a roar as a chav 306 with drainpipe exhaust charged past - wasn't rising to the bait and it was just before the cameras...

Next time were down there I'll set off a bit later - by the time the crowd turned up I'd been sat there just shy of an hour - thought you lot drove quick?

Harry_Boy

Tempted to suggest we try it again next week.....

Purely for Al's benefit, of course......

corradoboy

Now there's an idea

Cheers Dave. Had an absolutely fantastic night last night, great to see what the Scooby can really do when it gets away from the confines of the metropolis. Fantastic to see all the Scoobies in a line and glad we made those lads' day by the side of the road waving us on. I don't know if I've ever been so borderline between absolute pleasure and sheer terror! I'd be well up for doing it again! If it can't be organised I'd love your 'hastily scribbled' directions to do it all again some time! I have to confess I drove like a big girl along Strines on the way home. Thanks to all involved for making me feel welcome on my first trip out. A quality night all round. Only soured by my girlfriend telling me she'd woke up at 11 and found I wasn't there so rung me and when I didn't answer she cried herself to sleep thinking I was dead!

Note to oneself - text girlfriend when setting off home!

corradoboy

Rotten I know, but...

ROTFFPMSL :lol

You must bring her to the meet next week If you fancy another blast then keep in touch. I often get the bug and just pop out for some fun I'm usualy free all week, every week but not weekends

bgood

iTrader: (2)

Ooh, how convenient, that fits in just nicely with me being NOT free all week, every week but free all weekends what about you Simon??

ps. I laughed at the girlfriend comment too

scg

Depends. Some time free in week ie none gym days, some times free at weekend. Good to meet you Barry last night, hope you didn't terrify Steve too much ;-)

Dave - as to bringing the girlfriend, although she's not adverse to a bit of speed last night would definetly have been too much for her and would definetly back up her theory that I may never return from these little jaunts ;-) However, I told a mate about it and he's dying to come and also to buy a Scooby!

Glad you guy's enjoyed ya run,

sorry didnt make it,but hey
hope no-one went into the chicane's at break neck speed,bloody tight corner's,they scare the crap out of me and i must have driven that road about 2-3 hundred time's in all condition's,one of my neighbour's told me he had spotted you all making your merry way through the twistie's"bleedin boy racer's,the lot of ya"

STEVECHAPS

Sounds like fun was had by all, gutted to miss out (for sensible reasons as well!!!!!!). Should make the next one

Harry_Boy

Seven days time - trading Post Steve. Will you be Skoda-ing....??

Bubba po

Sounds terrifying. If I wasn't so useless at driving I might have come.

Dazza's-STi

Big sorries from me too!
Got home from the Liverpool at 6 but the missuse still has tonsilitis and a temp of 103.6 she's been around the 103 mark for 2 days and felt awfull, so not much chance of leaving her with the kids for the evening!
Never mind will c u all at the end of the month!

corradoboy

Simon, the Trading Post meet is nothing like that. Just roll up, ogle and chat about the cars whilst it's light and warm (hardly ever ) and then retire inside for shandy, grub and more chat with maybe a game of killer pool.

Although, some of the discussions last night might evolve into the monthly meets containing elements of last nights antics (Al, we need to talk )

corradoboy

Hope she's better for next week You'd better update us just before as to whether Helen's doing her hair.

Dazza's-STi

Will do temp down to 100.2 this aft... i think the Penilecilins are kicking in!!!

Shame was quite warming to the swollen throat ;-0

c u @ the meet!

steffiraf

You bad man!

MickWrx

Hi peeps

sorry in advance because I know this is off topic!!

But are any of you guys/gals going to shoot out on sunday ? I have asked before and sure some of you are, but cant find the meeting point and time.

Thanks Mick... (black classic wrx L555)

Alan C

[QUOTE=corradoboy....Al, we need to talk [/QUOTE]
If you need to do so urgently, call me on the landline..

I've just PM'd it..

Sticky Stuff

I believe we're meeting at the TP Mick, not sure what time, it's been a little quiet on the Shootout front.

Anyone confirm anything?

corradoboy

Sticky/Mick, there's THIS thread that was for both the 1st May trackday and the Shootout, but it seems to have fallen by the wayside since the trackday.

Al, will give you a quick call when Helen gets off the phone. Nothing serious, just some opinions aired last night.

Alan C

Sure mate.. be good to hear them..

Mick - The Shootout does appear to have fallen by the wayside.. This is a bad month for me in regards attendance so I've not been pushing or reminding people of events.

The take up for the Shootout has been poor, but I'm sure it can be revived if someone wants to take up the reigns for this? BTW.. I think one reason was the cost of Entry which stands at £10 Per Person..

I can't make it with work comittments, but June picks up nicely with the NBO and I'm sure another Joint club Mid Monther(?), plus whatever Dave comes up with from comments from the Strines run..

Happy to help where I can though..
