If it's clear & dry, I will be pressing on, if it's dull & damp, I will be taking it easy.

Either way, i've got furniture that handles better than BG

Anyway, we dont know the route yet, and if there are folks in extremely quick cars, all it means is that they will have a longer 'ciggy break' whilst they wait for the rest of us in uber cruisers and hot hatches to catch up.

Lets not worry too much about going mad, I want to enjoy the run, not feel like it is a trial of manhood. Anyway, last time BG was on the Cat & Fiddle, I cooked the brakes and sprung an AC refrigerant leak. Nonners failed to keep up with me in his 911, when I asked why he said he was giving me plenty of room because he was convinced I was going to fall off hehe

There are loads of slow cars on this run, as well as mid-field metal and a few supercars too, so lets not worry about willy waving eh?

Merry Christmas.

Warren.

GUYS AND GIRLS THERE WILL BE NO SILLY STUFF.

There will be times when we will push on ! but do not feel you have to keep up!
Hope to have maps for a few,so you just need to stay with the car Behind you,as this seems to work well! if you notice the car behind dropping of at the next junction wait for them! the car infront will do the same for you! I Hope.

Mark please! they don't know me well!!rofl

I might attend if I get some new tyres in time but if not, I shan't be there. It's like a slippery fish as it is.

And if I do go, I like to stay well in my comfort zone so if you are stuck behind me, just wave as you pass

Hi, am very intersted in this drive out. Was thinking of going to the Cat and Fiddle etc on this day, so just trying to decide whether to meet you there, or get to Chesterfield start first then come back etc.

Maz, if you are still going, I know the Cat and Fiddle area and some of the roads to Chesterfield a little, and will be setting out from WA10, so please feel free to join me.

Burnie, could you please PM me a rough idea of the route, so I can work out where I am best joining you, for example if the Cat and Fiddle area is towards the end I'd better get to start etc. Went for a great drive around here a few weeks ago with local club, A54 Congleton to join Cat 'n' Fiddle, Castleton etc. Some great roads.

Ok,Start of Meet, will be at;

THE OLDE HOUSE HOTEL (Was Trading post)
Loundsley Green road,
Newbold,
Chesterfield,
S404RN.


Meet time is 11am i have sorted Bancon sandwich each at 3 squid each!

We will start the drive at 11.30 sharp!ish.idea

Should be at the Lunch stop for 1.45 ish idea
Lunch at the Highest pub in Britan Cat and Fiddle.

Should get back to Olde house for a swif drink,and then back to hotels etc,get ready for evening jobby!think we should be out for around 7,30 pm meet at Wheather spoons,opposite the Main Church in town!

Ok just a couple of silly things,

DRIVING,
idea1,Could we all drive to our own limits ,and not the cars infront of you!
idea2, If you think the car behind would like to pass you ,let them ,but please let them know this!And indicate.its the one that makes your yellow light flash idea
idea3,But please all take care!lots of it as there is a large group!
idea4,As we are a large group,if you look in the mirror and can not see the car behind you please wait at next junction for them!this way we should not lose anybody!


idea%,if there is any chance could we all enjoy ourselves thanks !!


If its a toal cock up blame the man to your right!
