Lightbulb Advance roadworks !! TFL

Don't know if you have seen this Transport for London site but apart from the usual train, tube and bus information it has advance notice of road works etc with dates and times. Hope it proves useful lads and ladies

Even with 10 cars the chances of everyone getting through the lights in one go is nil. Thge leaders will be slowing down and pulling over where possible to let everyone catch up.

The most important thing to remember is that we will be travelling through London. There are a huge number of speed/traffic light/bus lane enforcement cameras around not to mention the cctv/traffic flow cameras so no speeding.

Getting your road angels up to date is also a good idea.

Any questions anyone???

I dont have any form of Road Angel or speed trap detector... bit scared now... also just watched the DVD for the Tunnel Run 2005 and the Road Angel is going off every 2mins... even more scared now! Will have to sit behind a car with all the gadgets!!!

Or just stick to the posted speed limits? Maybe it would do some good for me to send details of this proposed run to the concerned police forces?

Hey guys I may have a friend of mine joining me in my car from the MGF club but he when he was telling the guys @ his club about it they said they would like to come too if they could.

I know this is the Essex "SCOOBY" Crew tunnel run but would you be interested in having 30+ MGF's joining us? www.mgfregister.org/

If they came along in the numbers he was talking they would obviously have to run it with their own pace cars ect but work with us so we dont have to keep them in check ect

Just a thought and will not be offended if you want to keep it to scoobys

Chris...

*** Bugger, bugger, 2 hells and another bugger ****

Had a slow (very slow) puncture on the car for the last month, just needed a bit of air in it now and then.

But obviously (of all days), it decided to let go
Coming out of house this morning, kids in the back for the school run, scraping noise as I leave the driveway. Pulled over onto side of the road.

and ...bugger.....tyre has come off the rim and is flat as anything.Car is sitting nicely on the rim

Then had the hell of phoning up ex-wife to come and take kids to school (not a pleasant experience in itself) and then now have to source a new tyre.

Luckily some good mates (thx V5 Man and BottomFeeder) helped me out, but I doubt I will be able to make the run now tonight
Dont think it would be the same with a lovely space saver on the car !!!
or in the LandRover I have borrowed

so annoyed, but hey thats life, so have a good time tonight and pop a few flames for me

I'm picturing, short & scruffy unstyled hair, Boots own brand thick rimmed glasses, acne on forehead, chin and most probably back... clothes and infact entire wardrobe aquired from random charity shops and lastly, footwear compliments of Clarks Hardware... yeah we all remember them, glow in the strips just like our friends here!

Obviously one of your ********* didnt drop enough when you went through puberty (in your late 30's I imagine) and now that you've reached the ripe old age of 40+ and your hair is thinning and teeth falling out, you find pleasure in meddling with people who are actually living life and enjoying it.

I'll end with a sumation...

Didn't you post the exact same thing on another thread? I guess the effort of thinking was so great that you're trying to get as much value as possible out of it. Well done!

Just making sure you and everyone else has read it. I should be commend for being thorough instead of being patronising, but what would you know about etiquette?!

Rather more than you. Of course when one is in the pigsty dealing with the swine a good pair of boots is more important than fancy manners.........

touche... I think I'll hang my boots up on this one.

Enjoy the rest of your rant - you must be so bored and unchallenged to be sitting at your keyboard conversing with us 'low lives'... how can you bring yourself down to such a pitterful level, don't you feel dirty??

Surely there's a mountain that needs climbing somewhere?

It's good that you know your limitations and yes it is pitiful in here but from time to time it's good to spend time with the Epsilons.

There's always a mountain that needs climbing whether it be corporeal or figurative.
