monthly drive - peak district/cat and fiddle

[identity_crisis]

i know its early but it wont be long now till i get my car sorted and will be wanting to go out on some runs.

was thinking last night that it would be cool if we could have a monthly meet and drive out throughout spring and summer and really enjoy our cars.

the plan is to meet up on the first sunday of every month at the tesco carpark at macclesfield, then go on a set route each time which will allow people to get used too the route and learn the roads. finishing point will be the cat and fiddle pub. should have time todo the run twice each time at it should only take about an hour todo

at the end of the day we can head into buxton for a chill and a few drinks then head our seperate ways.

if your interested then add your name, the car you drive aswell as where you will be coming from onto the list below. this will enable us to see the variety of cars coming aswell as arranging mini convoys down to the meeting point.

just to wet your whistle a little heres a couple of vids of the roads we will be going on.

excellent news bud

[identity_crisis]

added.

all the roads we will be going on have plenty of overtaking places so your bound to have a nice run memorable run at some point during the day. plus it gives us a nice routine to get out in the fresh air and meet some decent people.

[identity_crisis]

list updated

[identity_crisis]

the problem is ive put this on imoc (mr2 owners club aswell and im regretting it.

really want to have a nice diverse selection of cars and will deff not be posting it on there again.

at the moment im considering putting a stop too any more mr2s coming but not sure yet.

im a big fan of any performance car and really want to get close too asmany different cars as i can but feel at the minute the amount of mr2s will put people off and make it look like a shitty cruise which its not.

any thoughts or suggestions fire away

kind regards

alex

ok ive put a stop too mr2s coming on the mr2 forum at the moment as i dont want loads coming and putting people off.

basically im trying to get a nice range of cars coming like the runs burnie does as it all helps make more interesting.

im sure i wont be very popular with people on the mr2 owners club

[identity_crisis]

kippax just noticed you on the list

will add you now.

[identity_crisis]

may have a passenger already phil but if not ill pick you up no probs.

im sure someone else wouldnt mind having you as a passenger if mine is taken.

was gonna put that vid up but remember the slating i got for the music on it

[identity_crisis]

just too let you guys know this will still be going ahead on the 4th of march.

i had a little accident the other day so am trying to get my car sorted but am planning on having a test run a week on sunday to finalise the route if any one fancys tagging along.

could do with getting some convoys organised down to the meet point.

from wht i can see weve got one from chesterfield, one from stoke area and one from manchester area.

ill organise the chesterfield one. meet up at the tesco in chesterfield near where all the recycle bins. we can then fuel up and check our tyre pressures before we set off. meet at 10 for a 10:15 set off.

if some of the other guys can organise one for your local area and try and sort a nice route down so its not too boring that would be great.

[identity_crisis]

excellent.

just to remind people we still need some convoy/meeting point from manchester and stoke area if someone wants to organise a meet point and time.

chesterfield convoy will be meeting at tesco in chesterfield near the recycle bins at 10am with a 10:15am leave time. got a nice route planned down too the main meet point.

main meet point is maccelsfield tesco next too silk road at 11am, leaving at around 11:30-11:45am.

[identity_crisis]

pmsl.

you are a lucky sod for living at the bottom of the cat.

certainly opened my eyes trying too keep up with you when i first started going up there. should beable to keep up with you now though.

you driving or you having a few passenger rides?

you free a week on sunday to help me finalise the route as im sure you know some good roads round these parts?

[identity_crisis]

you organising a convoy jaik?

could still do with one from manchester way and one from stoke area.

[identity_crisis]

nice one neal, what time and which meet point?

[identity_crisis]

right i think my cars finally ready for the run so me and a mate are meeting wednesday at 2pm at the cat and fiddle pub for a pre run.

anyone fancy joining us are more than welcome

[identity_crisis]

need to get these convoys sorted. i think stok should be sorted soon so just need manchester way.

anyone think of a meeting place and time so you can all travel down together?

[identity_crisis]

macc tesco is the main meet point, 11:00 with an 11:30 depart.

[identity_crisis]

ok say say meet at 10 for a 10:15 depart.

wheres your meet point going to be?

[identity_crisis]

because of the amount of car on the list im going to have to change my plans slightly, i originally planned to stop off at the cat and fiddle pub but with over 45 cars on the list now we deff wont all fit in there car park. luckily i know a car park which is more than big enough for us too all fit in but is abit of a detour too the original route so will have too tweak it slightly.

i want to stick to main roads as much as possible for this first run too try and make it simple so we dont get too many people getting lost. after the pre run on wednesday ill get some directions typed up then if anyone wants them ill email them to you along with my mobile no.

ive also altered the main/first post too include details of meet point for convoys down too the meet point. so far we have chesterfield and belper convoys conf with stoke and manchester area wip.

ill keep everyone updated smile
