Love to come along to this ,but still not allowed to drive for a few more weeks (medical) not legal reasons hopefully if this one goes well it will become a regular event

i'm behind it, it can't possibly go well!! :P

if you want to come for the social side, i don't mind picking you up from the tube station?

Will email you Dave as Im not that close to a tube station my end ,I may be able to get my younger brother to come along saving you the bother

[hairydave]

Erm, i've had a slight bit of bother... I've done myself in...

the power steering failed a looooong way from home last night, and now i'm in quite a bit of pain (because i'm a big girl), so i'm not sure if myself, or the car will be alive for this.. and the flatmate is currently reduced to what appears to resemble a smart fourtwo....

I might come by after work, though i might look a bit stupid in my Fiesta.

Just for a look see, and maybe a drive...

There is a road south of windsor called Drift Road. Its an NSL and is quite a nice undulating straight.

Requiers a few dry runs first though.

Tsk, dont tell everyone.

Drift Road makes up part of my Circuit De La Berks... :Yes:

Could always pick you up Dave, were in Eastcote and will be coming past your way on the way to Iver.

What time was this going to be anyway?

[Smiler.]

Is this on for tomorrow then? I fear it may be hooning down with rain

I wouldn't say no, although my flatmate may come, but he'll likely decide tomorrow! my shoulder is on the mend, so i may be able to get the jordan fixed for tomorrow... who knows!
but yes, its on, and we're meeting at ten, although i dsuggest a 15 minute window for late uns... can poeple confirm if they're coming and what they're in, so we know who to wait for?

[Smiler.]

I'll check in this evening but I'm up for it - Red Monaro

In the Crooked Billet car park @ 22.00 hrs roight

Didn't QUITE get my name right there, Dave. Never mind, I'll let you off this one time

Should be fun tonight although I think by 10 I'll be ready for my bed *yawn* - Will do my best to be there but I think I will not be going if it's raining.

Until tonight gentlemen

Don't want to sound curmudgeonly but is it sensible publicising the date, time and route of your planned sortie on here seeing as you will no doubt be making progress and the BiB read Pistonheads?

Don't want to go screaming around, just thought it might be nice to meet people, and perhaps share a few good routes? (i have to admit that my own knowlage is limited) As said, i'm not looking to go racing through the lanes at mach ten, just a nice cruise at sensible speeds...

hello BiB, would you like to come too? you can, but only if i can have a look round your volvo?


i think i may yet need a lift, it turns out that a bolt wasnt fitted to my power steering.... oh poo...

as much is i could fix it, i've got no way of getting the part (no car to get to honda), and nowhere safe to fix it (no driveway...) groooo!!!

Count me in for deff now

[spectre17]

Im going to come along, test out a new mini tripod.

If i get any decent ones, I'll post them on here. N.Plates blocked out of course.

The night setting on my camera's naff anyway.

Im might come on the cruise. Because even at sensible speeds, you will probably leave me for dust.

[hairydave]

I feel i should make a list

Anyone else?

i shall bring both a map, and a video camera, but i'm only going to send the video to those that came, to save numberplate bother, and i'm only going to film the stationary bits

[LeoZwalf]

What car do people have?
