I have tried to find out whether I can hire Curborough sprint circuit nr Lichfield for an afternoon thinking that we could have a meet and sprint challenge. Haven't heard anything back yet though.

Would anyone be interested ?

Rob

For info www.curborough.co.uk

Nice one Rob,
I have had no luck with getting a airfield, Trockmorton no more do it, Kembell had some nutters that upset the locals (but I can have the runway, £1000 a day!)

Tony - Is there nothing to do over your way? (not that)

Got your text about the incident. Barstewards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should have the scoob back next week.
It's been gone 4 weeks now!!!!!!!!!!!
The insurance company took 2 weeks to look at it nearly another week to give the go ahead.
I gave them some verbals down the phone and got a bottle of Moet and Chandon as an apology. Just want the scoob back, these front wheel drive cars with about 60bhp are just no fun.
Up for a meet as soon as car is back.

Jon

Good to see you too, find the guy who did it, we can pay him a visit then eh?

I should be up for any meet as long as good notice given, like idea of rolling road, lets hit Hereford and let Tony give us a tour, I lived in Hereford 1990-1996 you know!

Rear spoiler and Stainless Steel entry door plates on now, me £700 poorer! Happier with 10k/annual services though. Off line from tomorrow, flying to Scotland for week.

If a meet gets sorted I have a recommendation for a good driving route.

Decided to go out for a razz yesterday now that I can go over 5k revs and planned a short drive. Went from Great Witley across to Bromyard on the B4203, (top road) then went up towards Ludlow with the intention of going back via Clee Hill to Bewdley.

Unfortunately the pleasant drive was spoilt by some rotten barsteward in a brand new silver Lamborghini Diablo VT who held me up for over 20 miles between Ludlow & Bridgenorth !!!

Please please please can we arrange the next meet to include a blast across Wales.

If anyone is interested in a mini meet & drive next Sunday let me know and I will arrange a route.

Rob

Rob - Sounds like a nightmare, eh?

So the question has to be... Did you get past??!!

Squizz,

I tried a couple of times but the git moved out slightly and blocked me, and seeing as the thing was about 15 feet wide it didn't take much to block the way. When we got to a straight I didn't quite have enough to get past. I reckon that had I managed to get past I would have pulled away from him. Although to be fair it wasn't the best place to try and drive a £160,000 italian supercar to its limits !!!

I was pleasantly surprised that when we got to a nice smooth straight (Bridgenorth bypass) he still didn't manage to gain ground, and he shot me an approving glance as I passed him in traffic to turn right at the island.

What an amazing coincidence coming across a car like that out there.

Rob

ps Like your video.

pps What a pain - 22 miles of this view !!

Darren and I once came upon a pink(!) Countach on our way to Castle Coombe.

We were in his 1600cc Cavalier at the time, and I virtually spat out a sarnie as we were both amazed to go round a corner to be presented with a similar view to your piccie. We wound our windows down and I managed to gab my video camera for some shaky shots.

The sound was awesome, and every time he toed it a little, our windscreen got splattered with unburnt fuel!!

Sounds like you had a ball. One for the scrap-book.

Fancy taking such a monster along those roads though! Glutton for punishment, or a journalist doing a review? Are we going to hear of your exploits in one of the rags next month!!!

Video? Good plan - It's about time I got the Creative Director of Priomedia to do a special video montage of the Worcester crew on the move, just for Scoobynet...

...Wouldn't hurt Priomedia, either...

Sound good to you lot?

Cool

A video sounds like an excellent idea and what better location to shoot it than the Black Mountains on Sunday 24th

Surely it would be better to go for a drive over there than meet at Listers and have a pint ?

Anyone interested yet ?

Rob

C'mon

Reckon there must be a few goods roads here :-

The 24th's fine for me but I do need to have the scoob in one piece to leave at Listers

Dan are you going?? as I will need a lift back from Listers bring some spanners might swop xhorts (depending on whatListers say)

Blade,
That 5000 rpm limits a bugger I seem to remember me and James in the Demo wished we could have rev'ed the engine a bit harder Get mine in 5 weeks 3 days and 8 hours 16 mins but who's counting
