Black 182 - Cups packs - Scammonden Dam

[R3OBC]

Had a cracking run with a black 182 today. Not sure if the member will be on here or not, but hats off to you mate! That is the first time in a LONG time that anyone has been able to give me a good go up that road, let alone pull AWAY from me on the bends!!! Very Very impressed with the little 182's performance, and it is safe to say that you know the road as well as i do.

Great little run, cheers!!! Clio 1 - ATR 0!

Would that be New Hey road?

 

[R3OBC]

Road out of Outlane, up towards the moors / top car park, then straight on to continue towards Oldham??? we were coming back from Oldham direction - shame as its a better drive the other way.

Thats the one, finishes in Denshaw. Its great road to have in my back garden (I live just off it in Outlane ). They do the paragliding up at the car park and theres some good places to take my mountain bike for a blast around there. 2 birds with one stone and all .

 

[R3OBC]

yea mate definately! ive been up there in the van before, with the bike in the back, then went for a ride around. Its 'interesting' at night also....... lots of random people parked up with steamy windows lol!!

Do you go to the new bismillah??? i am prone to a curry from there lol! Was there on Friday actually!

 

[realnumber 1]

Is that the one in Outlane? (can tell I go there loads). If it is I always go to the chippy next door on Friday tea time.
Your right about the steamy windows up there later on

 

[R3OBC]

aye its next door to the chippy lol! Chicken tikka masala, fantastic! lol

 

[realnumber 1]

lol, will look out for the type r in future. I've only ever seen a 172 cup and a 182 in the same colour round here since I got mine.

That was me , hats off to you keeping up very few people do, I know that road very well.

 

[R3OBC]

Superb matey!!!!! We had just been to a jap car meet - which turned out to be a little crap to be honest.......so my blast home more than made up for it. I had been following that Octavia vRS for a fair few miles, and was waiting to have a pop at him........then noticed you pulled out behind him when i got stuck behind traffic. He wasnt playing at all was he.

Thanks for the run anyway, i could tell you know the road, the clio looked planted and we had a great laugh! Fantastic! Its a shame we weren't going in the other direction........i'd say the road is even better heading the other way.

 

[peter_pan]

Defiantly agree with you its much better going the other way you can take much better lines around the corners.
I was waiting for that Octavia vRS to put is foot down and go for it but it was clear he just wanted to cruise around. I’m glad he wasn’t one of them sods that make it imposable to overtake though, the ones that accelerate down the straight bits.
Had a good day yesterday, grate drive .

 

[R3OBC]

Its even better at night - just need to beware of the sheep!! going the other direction, the 2 left handers - with the little wall on the inside - those are belting corners!! I had to get past that Berlingo to catch you up, at which time you pulled out the pass the Octy, then, well.....you know the rest The big saloon car was having to work hard believe me.....it doesnt do bad for its sheer size though It was funny, that second car that we caught up to, we were both scanning the road ahead, along the corner etc, noticed it was clear, so off we went once again! Fantastic lol.

Some of the biker boys are nutters up there in summer! Ive even seen a Ferrari up there, in the other direction unfortunately - that would have been fun to hear!

 

[peter_pan]

I know what you mean about the mad bikers I had one behind on the way back down and he stuck to the back off me but you could tell he was trying hard. Eventually had to let him past after the dam at the bottom.

The ATR was defiantly a quick car and was more than a match down the straight, at which point I glanced at the Speedo and called it a day.

I’ve had a bran new Ferrari behind me going the other way a few years ago which was fun. Athough the road is a bit to bumpy in some places for low cars like that though so they cant really push it, unless they want to wreck their cars.

Was it you that gave me a flash of the Hazards going from Outlane roundabout to Ainley Top roundabout about a month ago? You turned right just before Ainley Top.
Also saw one or tother tonight on my way from work. Didn't have my eyes on the ball so not sure if it was you or the 182

 

[02172]

yes that was me i was going to my mates up lindley watch out for his black ctr ya52gck its running 299bhp at the wheels and its still n/a

 

[R3OBC]

Ah yea, the straight where i passed, i have had 45mph out of it down there.......it really does come into its own on the fast uneven roads! although that road feels hideous after i've spent a week up the north of Scotland - spoiling myself lol! We should all arrange a little meet soon guys!

 

[realnumber 1]

Nice one , sounds like a beast of a type r. Maybe the carpark at the top of scami would make a good place for that mini meet sometime? (Daylight hours only )

 

[R3OBC]

it would be an ideal meeting point, as we could get some cracking pics, then head up to the pub opposite the Indian for a drink and a natter! its nice up there - and plenty nice ladies if you get the right night! lol

Sounds like a plan, I can do pretty much anytime, as long as theres abit of notice

 

[R3OBC]

i may even pop to the bismillah on the way home lol! I am up that road most of the time when im out in the car anyway. With the clocks changed, we have more daylight to play with, so it could even be a mid-week meet!

 

[Faxo]
