No washing for TC then

[Andy_CTR]

Okay, I officially need a pax ride for this

So If anyone can offer me one, it'd be great to tag along with you guys!
(I have my own turban if needed)

Prolly not, but not 100% sure yet - it could be as simple as a loosened bolt on a diff mount and a top of diff oil which won't take long at all, or could be a fecked diff which needs to come off and be sent away to be reconned...or anything in between. Will let you know, should have prognosis Monday/Tuesday.

Your are welcome to come with me Andy, but i know it is a bit cramped for a big lad! You'll need warm clothing too, as the roof wll be off
Either way, i'll come and pick you up if needed.

Is this the Golf we spoke about at the karting? I seem to remember it sounded like it was going to be a bit special. Whats the spec?

Andy - was your car at TGM?? Been reading about that this morning and sounds as if most of the cars escaped so hope yours was included in there..... if not it's been a bad week for garage fires!

Hi All,

Andy sorry to hear about your CTR getting BBQ ! I hope you get a prompted and generous settlement !

Today I have been a on a recon for the hoon for this weekend its going to be a hoot !
Don't forget the clock go back on Sunday ...so you all get an extra hour in bed unless you forget and get there early !!! Bring your Walkie talkies, check your oil and tyres !

The plan and route is taking shape, the meeting is at 7am for leave at 7.20am at the “Bird in the Hand” Pub at Knowle Hill on the A4 between Twyford and Maidenhead. http://www.birdinhand.co.uk Post code RG10 9UP

The route will be heading towards Marlow, Stokenchurch, across to Abingdon and then on to the Wantage area and finally heading back to Reading. The finish will be the at the Sainburys in Calcot on the A4, by the M4. I will be typing up directions and map, which I will send out in an email.

If any one has any sensible questions then please email me

I found some more "Interesting Roads" around the Wantage / Across the Downs. They will keep your attention

[Dizeee]

What time do you think you will finish?

[mawse]

Will the route suit something a bit too long, a bit too wide, a bit too low and a bit too stiff for your average British B road, not to mention a rather large turning circle? Oh, and it would need to be dry!

Thanks,

Paul

Would that be the Mosler then?

I drove some of the route in my Chim yesterday. There was only one stretch of "bouncy" road that required a little concentration, but I didn't ground it at all, despite the weight in teh car and I was driving "enthusiastically".

I think you'll be just fine.

:wibble: Please bring it!

[AngryS3Owner]

What they said, for some reason my shopping trolley isn't a huge fan of bumps and I don't remember any really bad bits from sunday, there was one bit where I would have thought dave's chim (it's a low one too) would have made sparks, but it didn't!

Please bring it, oh and PS, if my car gets worse before the weekend can I jump in for a passenger ride for part of the run? Pretty please with beer on top.

[GolfGT]

I for sure don't want bumps! need smooth flat surfaces please

[mawse]

Weather permitting I'll be along. More than happy to let anyone daft enough to sit next to me sample my awful driving. The cabin is offset, so it's a tight squeeze on the passeger side if you're anything more than waif-like!

[Baldylocks]

Nathan - there seems to one thing missing from your master plan:

WHERE ARE WE HAVING BREAKFAST?
