Anyone coming in from Manchester? I need a lift please.

Very very probably - I'm not at work and you're only just round the corner from me iirc?

I am mobile again. So can lead in the new car. Are you coming along.

Are you looking to start the red cat run?

What've you bought?

[DrRick]

I managed to miss the I've-got-a-CRX post completely on the last reading, which confused me enormously coming to the thread today .

I'll very likely be there Tuesday.

[piefacemate]

Just read back and noticed it myself!

Excellent work, always fancied a CRX myself, tried getting a Mk2 VTi or SiR many years ago but couldn't find an unmolested one; they make a cracking noise with the B16 engine.

[caz_manc]

Mine is not the B16, it is the UK 1.5. Still has spunk and a nice growl.

I'll be heading from city centre Manchester. Anyone fancy hooking up en-route somewhere?

[Twincam16]

Looks like I may have to pull out guys - sorry

[caz_manc]

Weather is looking good, the roof is differently staying off my car today. See you all soon.

[ceebmoj]

will try and get out of work on time to make it. Not had the roof on the car for 13 days now (yes my roof it crap)

[MrBFG]

Sorry still stuck at work, see you next time, have a good one

[Windymiller]

Good run tonight! Didn't realise most of those roads existed! Apologies for all the sideways sillyness but I drive an X5 every day so on the rare opportunity I get to play with my track toy I do tend to play too much...

And apologies again for overtaking the Smart in a non-existent 3rd-lane of the dual carriage-way. Hope you don't think I was being a tit intentionally

[binlicker]

Top run tonight guys. Big fun yet again. M3 sideways-ness was highly entertaining. AMG and cayman in the tunnels even more so!

[buggalugs]

Top little meet, enjoyed chatting to you all Can't believe I left my keys in the car door when we were sat in the pub at the end!

[caz_manc]

What a storming night for a run. Those cars in the tunnels are awesome. May have to double back next time ;-)

I did similar last week, little lad was flapping about what to have for tea as I pulled onto the local spar car park, he mithered a little more as I was parking and then for good measure spent 15 minutes chosing what to have. Only upon return to the car did I realize I'd left the keys in the ignition with the roof off!

No, I was fairly sure you were being a tit by accident .

Great run - thanks Caz!

[Steve in Stoke]

You had me at tunnel...

I've been meaning to do a Manchester run for a while as it's just a quick run up the A50 for me, so I'll keep an eye on this thread/forum and keep the 10th May free for next one!
