Allright fellas!

I'm getting itchy feet (no jokes about seeing a Dr, OK!).............its time for a drive! Get some names on here and we'll sort a route out.

Lets give Chris a rest for once and let him just turn up and drive instead of arranging everything for us lot!

Who's in? What day? Where shall we go?

Rusty.

ask Chris about this Sunday...

willy

Put me down....
How about a drive out during the day?
Whilst its light..
Anywhere I`m not fussy.

supertouring

Count me in Pete. Is this an evening or Weekend? Sunday may be a problem for me as I am Dublin bound on the early flight on Monday. Not back till Tues evening.
Isnt it first wed of month next week? Evenings getting lighter now.

willy

Yes you are correct Dai,
It might be worth waiting till the Wed?
It will be nice that we will start to see where we are goin for a change

Pete, your too kind and thoughtful m8, cheers

the pressures off for me to perform at last, hehe.
I'm up for a spin this sunday, should hopefully have my full set of new brakes by then so have to get some miles in b4 I can really leather it
I'll stay at the back with the marks, and watch my suspension over the bumps

prefer an evening run out myself, as I am at pro sport in the day for the big rolling road event.

see you sunday, + like super says, next wednesday too, think about doing the route from last time in reverse, but without the stops, as I have to be in work for 21:36 !

chris.

blitzboy1

willy

*****, your more than welcome at prosport, but be aware the organisers dont want it too crowded.
I'm running first on sunday, so I've got to be there for 9 am!
check out www.22b.com for details of who is running in the rolling road and trackday forum,
see you sunday,
chris

willy

Me thinks I might be upsetting a few ppl.
Especially if its gonna be preorganised and busy...etc
Hmmm

cw42

iTrader: (1)

Dont be daft mark, get yourself down there m8, see you sunday,
chris.

willy

Twisted my arm then... what time is kickoff?

supertouring

Excellent, me and the family will be along too

Only joking, good luck with the run CW, I'll be interested in what you are putting out. I am sure we will be hearing soon enough!

cw42

iTrader: (1)

you certainly will super, I'll post the result on sunday.
so, after all that idle banter about sundays rolling road day, have we come to a decision yet about a drive out on sunday
come on pete, your supposed to be organising this: time: venue: route: list of runners so far:

madscientist
cw42

anymore?
might be a snowy one again, anyone for donuts
I know a quiet place in marple, anyone know somewhere a little less public?

chris. (estimating 240 bhp, which is only 25bhp over standard! and the exhaust is supposed to give me around 30bhp more on its own, nevermind the downpipe and panel filter!)

pps, ok, quick game then: guess my horsepower
nearest one gets a drink off me. I have no idea what mine is putting out as DaveW, who owned the car previously, never had it rolling roaded!
Mods are: ScoobySport downpipe, lagged
BPM 3” center section
BPM Twister 3 backbox with bung
hks panel filter


I'll guess 245 bhp

now your turn:

willy

No cheating by tweaking the boost up!!!
I reckon 235...
I hope I`m wrong for your sake... but I`m after that free drink!

*****

now your turn:[/QUOTE]

cw42

iTrader: (1)

jeez *****, I certainly hope your wrong too! only 20bhp over standard! I hope not


LIST:
CW42 245 BHP
***** 235 BHP
BRING IT ON

Andy S.

170 hehe

Only joking

I recon 241bhp


Might come for a run depending when Pete decides where and when!

supertouring

CW buying a drink, I better make use of this opportunity -

254bhp - oh well, looks like I am buying my own!

Do I get some vodka in my redbull if I guess the max torque also?

cw42

iTrader: (1)

trust you to bring torque into it dai, go on then, have a guess, hehe.

anyway, I bought the round at the second to last run you cheeky bugger

chris

Mad Scientist

Right. Well it seems that people decided on today. Dai hailed me down in Poynton yesterday and said he fancied tonight and Chris said the same. Thing is.......I can't do tonight really! Moving house tomorrow and i've loads to do. Spent all day yesterday changing a track rod on the Mrs' Focus.......I wellied it into a curb in the snow! Took me hours to get the damn thing off as it was tight as and had no flats for a spanner. Ended up with the wishbone and anti-roll bar off.

Anyway......I was thinking more of organising for Wednesday evening. About 1900 at H and H then off through Macc to the Cat and Fiddle and Long hill. Not been up there for a while.

Let me know.

cw42

iTrader: (1)

ok, runs all done, first on the rollers, and a massive 255 bhp and 259 lb ft torque! which was nice.
not the most powerful there by far, but nice to know all the same, nice morning, and a great bunch of lads there, big thanks to pete and giles at prosport for strapping us all down safely,
chris.

blitzboy1

Nice 1 chris, thats pretty good m8, i take it ur happy with that as its more than u expected .

cw42

iTrader: (1)

hi pete, nevermind about tonight m8, thanks for the thought of organising a run tonight, I'll leave it up to you for wednesday then.
So, whos up for tonight? I fancy doing the last run we did with the yorkshire scoobs in reverse, so maybe can meet mark around the ford inn, rather than you coming all the way over here m8. How about meeting at the train station in glossop first, then along the B6105 to the reservoir, along woodhead a bit, then climb up holme moss, drop down to digle reservoir, meet up with *****, and then he can take us through to Holmfirth and on to strines moor road. then either vale of edale, or the snake, im easy!
Let me know soon though, want to be out at 7pm.
chris.

blitzboy1

Nice 1 chris, i'll b round urs at 6.30 then fella.

Sounds like a gr8 route.

supertouring

Amazing - 1bhp out! Redbull for me please. Who needs a rolling road when you have me?

Glossop for what time? 7:30?

cw42

iTrader: (1)

well pleased with that result, well done super, hehe.
yes, glossop for 7:30 please, bring your radios super!
see you later,
chris.

Andy S.

Dam bloody internet security only just let me back onto the net!!!!!!

Then i find you have all been out for a drive bugger!!!!!

Good result Chris 20bhp up on mine!!!!!!! but mines easier to live with (noise!)

And no pannel filter to kill my maf sensor.

cw42

iTrader: (1)

missed a nice long drive andy, roads were treacherous, ice, snow, grit, salt, you name it, we flew over it at 70!
stuffed it going into the first big corner at strines moor road off the a616, heh.
abs kicked in, and steered me straight into the bank, no damage, just a little off!
you out on wednesday?
chris.

supertouring

Good run last night, that road through Strines is a cracker.

Blitz "co-driver" style comentary was great but you need to learn the difference between "flat left" and "90 left".

My ABS was not so great, and I almost has CW42 as bonnet ornament on several occaisons.

See you all Weds for more of the same. Roll on the lighter evenings.
