Meets

[JHead]

know whoever organsies area meets must have a lot on their hands, but now i've passed my driving test, i would really like to go to a local meet and start to get to know people... Ipswich area if anyones interested in organising something, or wants to help organise something? :S If not, when is the next planned meet if any?? :S

 

[DannyR]

Yea things are a bit hectic now.

We're looking at February end for our next meet. We tried over Xmas etc but people were busy. Now weather is a bit bad.

We will be back up and running properly next month, once I have a licence back!

 

[Cowbwoy]

How did you loose your licence Danny, if it's not to rude to ask...?

 

[P17 TOO]

[DannyR]

I'm not the 140mph one though!

 

[LiamR172]

30 day ban for doing 120/140? Lucky

 

[DannyR]

Yes, we're both very lucky!

 

[JHead]

where were you done??

 

[DannyR]

Did you read the article?

 

[JHead]

sorry... :L i didnt think they normally say where exactly it happens? :S i'll read it now...

 

[JHead]

This speed was exceptional

sounds like mr robin howe was quite impressed i still have no idea where this place is though.. i was expecting A14 :L

 

[Cowbwoy]

Oops, I must admit to doing the same (just didn't get caught) these cars make those speeds so accessible though. Danny I will have to keep an eye out for you, I live about 5 miles from you, Walsham Le Willows.

 

[DannyR]

It was supercharged, a standard one wouldn't be 20mph less than a GTR!

Saw you earlier in Gt Barton garage

 

[Cowbwoy]

Yes you did mate, getting some fuel and coal for the fire, what were you in?

 

[DannyR]

The passenger side of the Monaco 172

 

[Cowbwoy]

I totally missed ya, say hi next time. I'm easy going an more than happy to talk cars

 

[neef]

Who was caught doin 140 Danny

 

[neef]

Apologies
Just read it. I know his name, can't think who he is though. Is he one of your lot?

 

[mitch1503]

Jack Delaney, 21, of Sussex Road, Bury St Edmunds

I drove past, I weren't stopping in that weather lol!

 

[DannyR]

He's actually my girlfriends brother, talk about unlucky for my missus!

 

[neef]

Two totally separate occasions as well? Ha oh well. These things happen if you wanna take those risks I suppose. When you get it back?

 

[DannyR]

Yea within half hour of each other.

Mid February.

 

[Cowbwoy]

Totally acceptable mate, the roads where getting bad then, just looked outside and it's still snowing. So my drive tomorrow will be eventful!
Do you go into the Dunn Cow much?

 

[DannyR]

I don't mate, not much of a pub person after living in the **** in Stanton for 11 years

 

[Cowbwoy]

I used to live in Bardwell that's all, haven't been in there for years. I stay away from pubs mainly cause of the prices and Walsham's Blue boar has closed.

 

[t90_lle]

Lol'd at this quote

Roberts was clocked at 120mph at 6.30pm in the same “speed trap” by police on that road. Miss Small said he told police: “It’s my weekend car. I don’t get the chance to open it up very often. It’s just me being stupid.”

 

[DannyR]

There was no point lying lol!

 

[Cowbwoy]

sometimes just being honest actually pays off

 

[dmallett]

Weve all done it, just really unlucky to get caught mate!

Whats the deal with work untill you get your license back then?

 

[DannyR]

Gems dropping me in the mornings, although tomorrow I think I'm having a day holiday as roads looking s**t and I was only going to be in the office!

 

[Cowbwoy]

do you work locally mate? Luckily I only have to go to Stanton

 

[neef]

Oh!!! I know who he is now. Just fb stalked him.
Did this not happen a while ago ? I'm sure jake mentioned it at CSS?

 

[DannyR]

Based in Bury but work all over.

Yea it was nearly 6 months back.

 

[neef]

Save you a months worth of fuel I suppose

 

[DannyR]

Lol a month worth of fuel is about £50-100 so not much.

Work Van is all paid for and mainly all I use except weekends!

 

[Cowbwoy]

A colleague of mine got done doin something like 80 in a 30 and got away with it on the basis he was driving his dad to hospital etc. Mental that one!

 

[neef]

Yea, the bfs dad got pulled over when he was following the ambulance with Lui in after he'd been in an rta. They let him off and escorted him there.
I got caught doin 59 in a 50 on the m25 but I just did the awareness course. I was lucky

 

[Cowbwoy]

sometimes you just gotta accept that there are more important matters.

 

[DannyR]

I've got 9 points and done the awareness course already!
