monthly drive - peak district/cat and fiddle
Discussion
Have a good time guys, unfortunately I wont be joining you I've got my car back with new engine and I'll be spending time running it in and playing around with it I dont think a convoy is the best place for that
Just this second got back from a little running in drive over the cat and fiddle, fantastic road, especially in the dark and wet

Bo11ocks no car for tomorrow.
It's been in the garage since last Monday, for full service, MOT, they're fitting my 8 pot front brakes, rear brakes upgrade etc, but they've still not finished it. Unfortunatley a Focus automatic jumped off the MOT rollers and took out the emissions machine plus MOT computer, so they've not been able to give me my car back and I'm stuck with a Focus 1.6 Estate, with 300 miles on the clock!!
Really was looking forward to tomorrow, and am gutted I can't make it.
At least they are monthly.
Went for a run over the Cat this morning...not very impressed with the road works near the summit! Temp traffic lights/down to one lane. They do a really good job of bunching the traffic up making overtakes a bit more..erm...interesting shall we say?!? Just thought I'd give you a quick heads up if you weren't aware of them, hopefully they'll be gone tomorrow...just don’t get a shock if you round a bend at speed and are faced with a red traffic light Have fun
Heavy Rain from around 12pm www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/nw/macclesfield_forecast_weather.html hope it doesn't get too bad. See you all soon.

Don't let the forcast for a bit of rain spoil the fun, At least we still get to meet up, have a chat, check some nice machines out and go for a little drive.
I'm well looking forward to this regardless of the weather, At least it gave me the incentive to wash and polish the car yesterday...... even if it will look like crap by the time i reach macc lol.
See you all in a few hours
Burnie, if your still coming dont forget the entertaining powerslides.... especially if i'm behind or infront of you.... the camera will be armed

Well it was rather wet, but there was still a fair few people who braved it and came out (good on you all). It was a good day, some nice roads (even if some were a little foggy) and more importantly, nice people Anyone who didn't make it for whatever reason, you should definitely try to make the one next month.
just want too say thanks too everyone who came and stayed todo the route, really had a nice run even with the crap weather. route seems to work ok and no one got lost which is a good thing.
what happened too the guys from the chesterfield meet, we waited for you for about 5 mins as soon as we came of the dual carraigeway but no sign, then went on to the roundabout (forgot the name) and waited at the pub car park up there for you too watch you all just drive straight past us as we were waving at you. then we get to macc to find your at the cat pub. we then all come up and wait on the road for you all too come and you all stay there
as soon as i find out my rota for next month ill sort a date for the next one. same route same plan and see if we get some decent weather.
