Default Snake Pass from Northampton

This is due to take place on the 22nd.

Jonathan is supposed to be organising this, but I think his love life has suddenly taken off after several years. So at the moment for at least ten minutes a day he's busy.

Hopefully, sometime soon he will tell us all what time to meet, and what the day will have in store for us.

Thumbs up

Luke and I are still up for it ... just need to know what the plan is ... [Luke says pull your finger out RB (absolutely no pun intended on the earlier comment about your love life either!)] ... I guess we will have to join up on the M1, assuming that is the route you guys will be taking?

I still have to come to terms with only being able to drive my car for half of it and had better get my sick bag ready for the first half with the evoboy in the drivers seat and pray there aren't too many roundabouts en route!

Nic

Sounds good fun this day out guys, travel this road quite often.

Just watch out for the police up there, they'r always hiding round corners and in layby's.

The Woodhead pass is also a great road too , Might be an idea to go across the Snake pass from Sheffield to Glossop then back over the woodhead and onto the M1 further up By barnsley?

Just an idea.

Ill keep an eye on this cos if im up in sheffield that weekend i might join u.....if no one minds?

Sorry you can't make it Neil. Is it because it's the last F1 race of the season, and you want to see Alonso kick Shumys backside into retirement?

See you at the next local meeting which should be on 5th Nov. Don't tell RB5 Jim though, because he is a firework demon - who along with his sidekick will find great amusement in letting off the biggest compilation of low altitude, yet wide spread car damaging fireworks ever invented, despite the repeated pleas by innocent automobile owners not to light the touch paper............ I think I might not make the next meeting after all.

I’m Scared

Sorry no can do - Thank you for the heads up tho Angus

My work don't seem to let me have a social life ATM, even the scooby feel's unloved - just soooooo busy at work it's a joke.

I will be at the next meet and hope the weather holds out for you on Sunday have fun and please post some pics.

Daniel.

I've rung the pub and ammended the booking, so you can certainly come along.

As for the radios, we just normally use sign language - the usual #*#*er sign along with the victory V and middle finger gestures. If you know any more feel free to use them. I usually get shown a whole array of hand gestures when I'm out on a leisurely drive at the weekend!!

Roxsanne and I would just like to say thank you to each and every one of you for great day out.

Would any of you like to buy a second hand water hose it’s in perfect working order (Honest)



Phoned the AA @ 4pm and they got to me @ 4:50pm, By the time they fixed the water hose I was back on the road again by 5:20pm - got back home to Wellingborough about 7:45pm, was doing about 70mph all the way on the M1 it was just ******* down with rain.

Hope you all got home safe and thank you once again for great day. see you at the next Northampton meet on the 5th.

Daniel & Roxsanne.

Glad you got back ok Daniel (and Roxsanne) ... was a cool day!!

Shame the weather turned pants, but here are some pics anyway ...









Tim - we are still laughing about your lift-off with sideways action!

Angus - you know you want black wheels, they are faster than gold ones!

RB - with your flaps hanging so low it was bound to end in strife!

We did the Scotch Hill on the way home ...

Nic & Luke
