where u thinking of playing m8 ??.. yep, sunday is good for me ??
Joe
There are some decent roads that I have found around the Sheffield side of Snake Pass. The Peak District will be fairly busy on a Sunday, but one of the roads Im thinking of has a pub nearby. We could park the cars up there and take it in turns to go up to the long, flat, straight bit of road which is just a mile or two away from the pub. The road is quite small and I wouldnt want to block it up or annoy people by parking a load of Clios on it all at the same time, but Im sure wed be quite welcome at the pub
If you can think of something better at your end, by all means say so. Doesnt make much difference to me,
Rhys
hey no probs..
just let me know when and where, the earlier the better really..
Joe
Yeah, definitely earlier the better. The roads out there tend to get busy by 11am, so before then would be good. What does eveyone who is coming think then? 9am too early for a Sunday?!
Will drive out later on and find out what time the pubs out there will be open. I guess itll be from 11am or something.
Rhys
meet up at 9 am would be great for me.
let me know.
Joe
fine by me.. whatever the majority wants.
HI GUYS.
OK, EVERYTHING SORTED FOR SUNDAY.
got the ap22, the laptop and the sony digi cam.. so should be good.
anyoe with a dirty car will be executed and pictures posted here..
Joe
LMAO !!
nice one dood...
Joe.. the camera never lies.....
Capt - Bearing in mind what you were saying about the bumpiness of the road screwing up the AP-22 data, Ive been out and had another look. There is a wider, flatter, smoother piece of road a similar distance away from our meeting point to the other road. The down side is that it is not as secluded and will probably be busier which is why I originally rejected it. However, on looking again, Ive discovered that it has a couple of lay-bys that are completely hidden from the road. While these are no good for racing down, we could park all the cars up in these to avoid arousing undue suspicion from passers by! Have to see what you reckon tomorrow....
Rhys
no probs Rhys..
yep, the bumps will upset the AP a wee bit.. however, whichever road we use, the data as a comparative, will be excellent.
on a flat surface, the ap22 will read a figure you can take to the bank.
I will have the laptop too, so we can dump each run to the lappy, on monday I can graph the results and email them to each of us.
any non 172 mk2 owners coming, can you look up the Cd (Coeeficient of drag), and the weight of the car unladen. We can input these figues directly into the unit.
We can also do 1/4 mile timings if enough space
Joe.. Looking forward to meeting up tomorrow.
ps, should get some good shots of 4 172 Mk2s together with the digi cam..
shame GR cant bring black beauty to the party
would make a good pic.

its clean now.. but I got a 100 mile drive LOL...
Joe
Rhys, can u mail Blaze the details Sir ??
Joe
Seeing as this thread is FAO Captain Slarty, maybe you can sort this out Joe...theres a geezer in Iceland wanting to do a engine transplant into a 1.2 Clio (I think) and hes serious about wanting to squeeze a 172 lump in there and ship it out from the UK.
Im sure on another thread you were talking about a scrapped 172 lump with all the ancillaries, ECU etc, but I cant find it. LMK.
Paddy, I will be taking the m60 south / east, thrn the M67.. we could meet up at the end of the 67 ??.. say about 8:15 am ?? there must be a roundabout or something ?
Joe..
ps Nick.
there is a damaged 172 at http://www.renaultspecialists.org.uk/
they also have some new units in stock. The damaged one would have all the bits too. Hope that helps.
Joe
so Blaze.. ??.. are you coming along Sir ??
Joe
Excellent Blaze.. be great to hook up.
my mobile is 07970 993503
I will be leaving here about 0720.
Joe.
