February Meeting: Ideas

[*Badger*]

Date dependent (work 2 weekends in 6) I'll be up for this.
However, sold the 182 now, so if non CS is allowed it'd be good to stretch the legs in the M.

 

[RDH]

If you think you could keep up :rasp:

 

[LiamR172]

All you lot should take a massive road trip up to the scottish highlands

 

[Ash.]

I am doing a road trip up to Scotland this year and I am sure loads of people of the forum will be I know the v6 lot are!

 

[Eddie.]

I think I'll be going up there for a week with the mrs, altogether a much tamer trip I feel

Is this still the girl that gets car sick?? Was it true on the way back from crewe that night you had to stop???

Wow, word spreads?!?! Yeah we did! On the A56!

Yeah she does, I carry travel sickness pills for her now, which work with varying degrees of effectiveness

Lol come to think about It... It may have bin you who told me?!? :-/ as if she gets sick I've never know anyone get
travel sick. What about when she drives?

 

[LiamR172]

Great! Where abouts are you planning on going?

 

[Eddie.]

Might've been?! :S

Yeah, without pills shes quite sensitive to it. Normal driving she's fine though, only when pushing on, it's the quick change of direction in the twistiez y0! haha

She's only once ever made herself carsick from her own driving, and from what I remember it was on the motorway, tbh I think that was a freak occurrence!

 

[welshname]

Tell her to put a sock in it before you put your fuckin' **** in it.

Simples.

 

[Eddie.]

Charming as always I see Rhys...

 

[p@blo]

Evo is good whatever time you want to go. Just adapt your driving style to the conditions and enjoy the views!

(and dont overtake unmarked police cars :nono: )

This. Short of driving à la bellend, why would it be an issue?

Drive & pub for food gets my vote, trafford park/sugar buzz otherwise.

 

[Kneel]

What about a run over saddleworth moors into yorkshire? Its a pretty good run and the police haven't slowed it down (yet)... It was the road that the EK9 Type R rolled up a hill at a pistonheads meet IIRC

 

[montana]

I will be up for this. However i dont vote for Evo triangle, i was "underwhelmed"!

 

[aucky]

You're really selling it lol.

 

[Jon.G]

When are we thinking for this then?

 

[aucky]

Coming on your push bike Jon?

Saddleworth moors? By that do you mean past dovestones, up round all the reservoirs and towards either holmfirth, huddersfield or meltham.

 

[Jon.G]

Coming on your push bike Jon?

Yeah, I'll be making car noises all the way.

 

[welshname]

Yeah, I'll be making car noises all the way.

You'd still be quicker than Ed and his driving.

 

[Eddie.]

Sigh... right, fine if were doing this then...

We can settle it, a race, endurance, over a distance of 300 miles. See who wins with your blue oval special MPG

You're on. The MPG is getting better and better with each tank actually :/ Done 150 miles to just over half a tank this time, and TBH I'm driving worse than I was last time because I got pissed off with it being s**t and was just facing the facts lol.

Tank is getting bigger as it rusts and ultimately begins to warp into a larger shape

 

[welshname]

It's mad, first few tanks I saw 200 miles to a tank, on momentum 99! Now I got fed up and i'm putting shitty fuel in, driving normally and it's 150 to just over half a tank. Don't understand it.

 

[Eddie.]

I know it's a differant car and all, but with my focus, the first 3/4 of a tank "seemed" to go a long way, then the last quarter would drain super fast. Could've just been mine though?

All car's are like that, it's because you get the extra amount above FULL that people forget about. The thing with these is they will do nearly 40miles to the orange fuel light.

No no, I would get 60 miles on the motorway before the needle moved, then once it began moving I could get about 250 to the last quarter, so 310, then the last quarter I would see about 30-40 miles :/

 

[welshname]

Your car hated you.

 

[Eddie.]

I hated it at the end so the feeling was mutual.

 

[sofaboy]

Driving meet... somewhere smooth though

 

[welshname]

Just go round the roundabout at KK's for half an hour?

 

[Kneel]

Saddleworth moors? By that do you mean past dovestones, up round all the reservoirs and towards either holmfirth, huddersfield or meltham.

Something like that yeah, come off at huddersfield and maybe go towards a pub in huddersfield/brighouse?

The Type R was being a hero and trying to show off on the video, its actually a pretty decent road provided you dont go at it like a t**t..

 

[172Ben]

Where is that vid, it was insane from what i can remember?

 

[Christopher]

Where's the route going to be then, bearing in mind it'll still be wet/cold?

Anyone know anywhere decent? Still Snake Pass as a favourite?

 

[aucky]

Ask a local about Snake. A million speed cameras last time I was there iirc.

 

[Eddie.]

A million speed cameras last time I was there iirc.

Really? A million?

I'm up for snake if it isn't covered in speed cameras and ice! There are a few roads off the snake that are good but I don't know them well and wouldn't like to say which ones are worth driving.

 

[sofaboy]

A million? that's quite a few.

 

[aucky]

Maybe 999,998 if you're feeling pedantic

 

[JamesBryan]

Speed camera's = Velcro reg plates FTW
