Taking a few hours out to have a nice drive down to Leeds to pass on a get well message to a well liked TV presenter who suffered a near death accident is strange???

I don't get you, old chap.

Try posting this in Northern rather than general.

SMACS, LADS, WYIOC, CADS all frequent this area and you may get some interest.

Nice thought mate, but let be honest all those Scoobies are gonna cause trouble and I'm 100% they wont let just anyone in to see him.

Jimmys ain't the best place around for a shed load of cars to appear, if not for the general area then maybe because it might just cause a problem for any Ambulances who may be in quite a hurry

To be fair to Mark, I gave him some guidance on how to post on scoobynet after he contacted us via our site. Thought "general" would be a good start to post up for initial interest. Didn't expect the sort of comments he's recieved so far though!
Shame on you guys, genuine ex-sidc member here trying to do his bit for Richard, and show him the subaru community are thinking of him. Admittedly, I did ask Mark if he'd asked the hospital for permission first, and he was going to do.
No need for this though:

give over man

hundreds of noisy cars blocking the place up, what about the people with relatives in there who want parking spaces, what about any emergencies that are happening and need easy access towards the hospital, the idea of ****-loads of scoobies in convoy to drop of a stupid get well card is ****en ridiculous.

Think about the bigger picture.

it would be a much better idea to send hundreds of cards to the hospital for all the other random people YOU DONT PERSONALLY KNOW, to help cheer them up as well.

no, no the hamster is on out TV screens so he gets priority from the SN massive, what a crock of ****, there is probably hundreds of sick kids in there through no fault of there own, send cards to them if you "want to make a difference"

just dont block the place up with ****loads of chavv`d up cars, 1 post van is all it takes

I don't like the idea because it's attention seeking, plain and simple.

the post van is there every single day anyway, if it was double parking i am sure somebody would have had a quiet word with the driver

Why don't you go to a private field, get all the cars to do donuts etc, record it and send Hammond the DVD with the card.

I doubt his private room overlooks the carpark anyway

I don't think that the intention is to impress him with doing donuts, do you? Oh and I've heard that he doesn't get any special treatment, anyone who's done what he has would get treated in the same way!

So lining up in a carpark doing a mexican wave with their exhausts is a way to impress him then?

I think the OP a pants idea myself but if the guy wants to do something then I'm just suggesting another avenue.

And once he is out of IC I'm sure he'll be on a private ward

dont know if anyone saw it but on the local news (Calendar) a couple of days ago there was a newage impreza in blue all stickered up and another car at the hospital as the presenter of the news was speaking - they went around the mini-roundabout and then back up the entrance... and i think one of them spoke to the news presenter saying ' get well hamster...'

I think what hammond would prefer is all you convoyers dont bother n that you donate your petrol money for the convoy to the air ambulance people.

Who really thinks for a second everyone will be doing donuts/revving engines etc FFS???
The Richard Burns convoy proved Subaru drivers aren't the kind of people some short sighted people think they are.

I think it is a nice idea....assuming the hospital agree to it.

It's self gratification and nothing more. As said above if you want to do something then make a donation to the air ambulance or the hospital.
