Monday 31st May Hoon Anyone?

[hewlett]

Just wondered if anyone would be up for a gentle potter into the countryside? Perhaps slightly less than the last 142 mile trip, but a good 2 hours plus, make the most of the morning light..

[Ben Hughes]

In.

[hewlett]

Having an MG along would be really cool

[Ben Hughes]

Ta! Cool, but not very quick.

[outnumbered]

yes, quite possibly..

[omgus]

Count me in

On conditions, no getting lost this time and less than 142 miles.

ETA I reserve the right to stay in bed if it's raining.

Could perhaps try the same route down to Beachy Head that myself and two other PHers took last month? Was damn good fun.

Possibly or a hybrid of several runs, 'directors cut' best bits..if you PM your me I'll send an itn and/or start point and time (6 - 7am)

[Shamu]

Tbh ive never really met you guys, but i would count myself in depending on where you were heading?

[hewlett]

Most likely southward though I'd rather email the route out than post it here

[deeen]

"Quite possibly" + 1, I could meet you at the start, then peel off for Crawley on the way back?

I'm in Reigate, so will be doing much the same. Also, I see you work for Tesco...any jobs going?

[petrolveins]

Oooh I'm very tempted, two things holding me back though, one the parents say I should be revising, and two if it's gonna be even mildly moist my car has the lovely habit of trying to take a straight line instead of attempt corners. But I'll give the parents a bit of a hard time and maybe I can come

And yes that beachy head one was rather good, actually speaking of which Ben, when I had my car serviced about 2 weeks ago they replaced the upper suspension mounts as they were making funny noises, warranty job though, no idea how that could have happened

[Shamu]

any word on this?

Does it sit...oh...like a normal car now? Or does it still look like it's wearing 3/4 length shorts?

ETA: If the road is greasy/damp, I'm taking the Fiesta - I don't trust the MG when 'pushing on' in wet conditions yet!

Oh no it's still up in the air. Note to self: when next choosing car, car with sports pack is better than car with climate control and parking sensors.

Won't be able to make this one, sorry guys, seemingly in order to go on the last one, I made a deal with the parents to not go on any more until the end of june.

[Ben Hughes]

Unless you combine it with going and doing the shopping or something.

On the other hand, it's far easier to apologise for something than to get permission to do it...PH run, pick up some flowers for the mother, deliver breakfast in bed, job done

[hewlett]

1) Ben Hughes - MGB GT/Fiesta
2) hewlett - Clio 172

[jimmy156]

Whats the rought start / finish point? I'll be up for it so long as the start point isnt too far away.
