Cumbria PH'ers

Nice.

I have just ordered a new M5 and the wait is killing me!

I have just joined the supercar driver club.
Was pondering about it last year when had the Tuscan, they have regular runs in the north. Couple of weeks ago went on a lakes meet in the atom, nice convoy included a 458, r8, MP4-12c, alfa SZ, 997 turbo, m5 and a boxster.

Will have to organise a meet when the m5 arrives I'll be eager to get the running in service out of the way!

Looks nice

Ha yes good luck

^Likewise ^
We have an extra 2 cylinders and an extra 2 turbos

Anyone fancy the North coast 500??

[likesachange]

Big 500 mile loop up from Inverness..

Google/YouTube it.

Best scenic roads in UK and getting a lot of marketing at the moment, so will no doubt get ruined by traffic...

Was planning on it in October when get new car but kennels fully booked until end of November 👎

Picked this up today and love it, keep an eye out for me...

Anybody want a run out in following weeks let me know! I need to put some miles on it

nice!

am I right in thinking you can choose what exhaust noise gets played to you in the cabin?

do you not have a running in period, eg nothing above 4krevs for 2k miles...

Thanks
No they asseemingly used to have the engine sound enhanced through the speakers but I can't hear a thing and tbh I wish you could turn it up if it was there?! Not sure the LCI models have it. Sounds great from outside but inside its a little too quiet.

1200 miles sub 5000 revs. Frustrating but it's on different oil etc so will do it by the book.

Thought Clarkmaggpie was at wetheral... ? Oh wait wasn't he looking to move to rickerby??

Think I met you in the Summer likesachange you were in my Shop Johnston & Bulman you were in the Atom

Ah yes.
So you finally did some Man maths and figured out the lotus worked best?

Roll on spring time!

Any trips planned anyone for next year?

[likesachange]

Lovely looking cars those... Looked at the 55's a few times and pondered but didn't have the gonards.

[likesachange]

Pooley bridge has been destroyed by the recent flooding and glenridding was hit hard 2-3 times in December so not sure what's open there.
Also the road by thirlmere was washed away.

So from Carlisle am afraid to the far side of ullswater will be either Kendal and across or head across 66 and cut down by rheged services I think.

• edit

Just looked there and the 592 is the rheged turn off which comes out past where the damaged bridge is so I'd have thought that was still open? If not am sure there's 1-2 other turn offs on 66 that cut down to ullswater that will be accessible.

Pretty mild here at the moment but more flood warnings this week unfortunately!

Bring your flippers

Lovely looking car! I had a Tuscan 2S for the summer of 14 and went across Europe in it, was the perfect car for it!


My brother in law caught the bug and currently has a lovely cerbera. We're both from Carlisle.

Eager to get a meet organised. Possibly March??

[likesachange]

Run out April the 3rd??? Anyone game

I've had a 135i coupe and m135i both I loved so great platform...

Open to any suggestions.. Edenvalley up hartside across to Middleton and down to brough isn't a bad shout.
Less traffic and speed cameras the better

Great run out today. Met up with rocco and his pals. All decent guys with some lovely motors!
