Depending on the weather. Driving the 7 in the pouring rain is no fun and my road car isn't up to standard for a PH Run . If it's wet on the day can I blag a passenger ride with someone?

I'm sure if you need a ride(if its raining)some one here will be happy to show off their car....perhaps then a 4x4 sports car should be able to cope with the wet conditions or if you are feeling brave then a TVR will give you seat of the pants experience

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

Hi Matt, YHM.

Looking forward to see everyone 2mrw and welcoming any new "Hoon" runners.
Fingers crossed for the weather, its looking good.

[Turbofun]

Hi All, thanks for coming along in the rain ! I hope that some for the newbies will be coming back for other runs!

If anybody has any thoughts about our next run out (when and where) then post them up on here to start with, then we can start a new thread once we have somthing iron out !

1. A dry re-run on the Wessex Hoon
2. Dash to the Coast

[Turbofun]

Hi All

I think we should plan for the 1st / 2nd of December, go for the Saturday morning run and if the Weather is really bad for the "fair weather drivers" then move the run to the Sunday morning.
Have a 7am meet, for 7.30 start. As for the Route then I vote for the "Dash to the coast"

I was also going to mention a "Christmas Run" perhaps on Boxing day morning, but I leave it for another day !
