Drive Out on Royal Wedding Day 29th April 2011

[Matthew]

Hi guys, Myself, Jenic and Real Number 1 at the last meet thought it might be a good idea to get a meet and drive organised on the day of the Royal Wedding as roads should be empty.

Anyone have any thoughts on this, ie where to go? Possible Buttertubs drive again, as last years was a really good day out, and should be even better if the roads are quiet!

Thoughts welcome!

Matt.

 

[Feirny]

I'll most likely be working, as I've changed my days off that week anyway and have the weekend off.

 

[Ste666]

I'm definately interested Matt but i won't know what's happening work wise till nearer the time.

 

[Gaz.]

I'm working.

 

[Matthew]

Booooo to the workers, its a bank holiday!! lol

 

[Soph]

I'm working. Its not a bank holiday if you work in retail.

 

[Matthew]

Only perk for working at a bank then... lol

This, being a manager FTL.

It's not a bank holiday when you're contracted to strip and rebuild a steam turbine and generator within 10 weeks.

^ fair point.

Unfortunately it's probably a no from me. I'm seeing david guetta in manchester that night so I will probably be in Manchester through the day!
I have no luck with these meets atm

 

[Matthew]

Looks like just me then lol

Yorkshire meets FTL

 

[realnumber 1]

If nothing else come up I will probs come along.

Good lad, that's 2 (maybe) lol

Not much call for this tbh, maybe organise that joint NW meet you were on about instead? Up near hollingworth?

 

[Feirny]

DOn't get me wrong, I'll be there if I'm off.

 

[Matthew]

Thought it would have been a good time for a drive with the quiet roads, lol

I could put a post up in the NW section to gather interest but not 100% sure I could make that day. I should have a better idea after this weeked....

 

[jenic]

So did I

 

[leeds_182]

Working that day.

 

[RSteve]

If I'm not being dragged somewhere by the missus then I'll be up for it, I'll get back to you

 

[leeds_182]

tbh I don't really know that many people that are doing anything that different on that day.

If people want quiet roads you would be better off meeting on a Sunday morning at 6am and driving up to the tubs for a blast or something!

tbh a 6am start on a sunday would probably suit me more than anything, as always busy during the day!

The type of people that will be watching it are the note/micra/pride/fabia drivers that ruin good drives, thats what i reckon anyway.

I cant see that working i for one would not get up at 4-4.30am just for a drive a show yes but this no lol

 

[ipodsandguns]

Im not working, Im not coming though unless I have a birthday cake waiting.

 

[Feirny]

I'd bring you one if I were going.

And I'd be up for a 6am blast one weekend, breakfast run FTW.

Your supposed to be organising the 'big run'

 

[Feirny]

And I am! So shush.

 

[magh]

Greg we got a date for that run yet I need to get my thinking cap on.

 

[Feirny]

No. Think of one.

 

[jenic]

First weekend of July is what Greg told me.

 

[Feirny]

As an idea, depends when everyone is free.

 

[magh]

Sunday the 3rd of July then?

 

[Feirny]

Go for it.

If you're getting held up by them, you need to have a word with yourself. Or double-check what's under that bonnet....

What's this 'big run' gonna entail then?

 

[black_sunrise]

im working it but i do get an extra holiday day to use whenever. id rather have it that way tbh as the royal wedding means f**k all to me.

 

[bigrich690]

if i get my car outta this stupid limp mode then i,m up for it, will get back to you asap if i can come or not, the date is fine for me its just my silly car

 

[Matthew]
