Would anyone be up for a possible sunday blat on you've guessed it...Sunday!?! driving

I've checked the weather and it looks as though there might well be a gap in this awful weather so in a bid to 'make the most of it' I was wondering who would be up for it!?!

Suggested meeting point:

The De Havilland Arms (Public House next to Morrisons)
Elvetham Heath
Fleet (Junction 4a of the M3)
Hampshire

at say 10am?

Please show your hands to see what the concensus is! No planned route as such but either the south coast or uptowards oxford (lovely roads through the Ridgeway area (Pangbourne/Streetley up towards Didcot etc). Any suggestions welcome!

In light of the changing weather, may I recommend that we all check back here from 9am on sunday morning to make sure its still on!

Hopefully see you there!

Regards

Paul

Sorry about the swift reply earlier, always difficult to type an essay at work!

John_R - If you fancy a spin in the Caterham, I'll be more than happy to honour that....any excuse hey!

Taking the car up to James Whiting Sevens for its annual service tommorrow, just spent the last 45 mins putting the tent up...sorry, roof on the f**king thing.. you'll have to excuse any spelling errors in this as I am typing with the remaining stumps which were previously fingers! Anyway, enough about my 45 minute erection! ranting

Am scanning the calendar/map to find a suitable date/route for the next outting, who's up for a once a month thing?

And once again, cheers chaps for sunday, only just stopped grinning this afternoon after that drive!

I will have a look when I am off next, will probably be at the tail end of February. I will keep you all posted as to the details, me thinks this time I'll try and sort out a route map and if there is going to be a few more of us we might like to split into two groups to make it abit easier to keep together to save losing people along the way!

Was really pleased that no idiots turned up and were all 'progressive but sensible drivers' thumbup

Cheers Guys

Amazing the power of this internet thing!

Here, check this out..

I was reading something the other day about coppers pulling in speeders (Thats SPEEDERS not SPEEDO's.. just to clear that up) and this one copper was saying how he'd been patrolling this one section of road for a fair bit of time when a young lad went racing past him... Obviously the copper went off in 'Hot pursuit' and eventually pulled the lad over, the copper went upto the window as the lad wound it down and the copper said "I've been waiting all day for you to come along!" to which the young lad replied "Well, I got here as fast as I could!!".. The Copper eventually stopped laughing/crying then let the lad off with a slap on the wrist! Fantastic! (True or not its still worth a mention!) thumbup

Why can't all coppers be like that!

Red Barron - Your more than welcome, keep an eye on here and I will eventually put up an update on the next run. And I do have a few ideas up my sleeve for 'bigger things' which are coming up this year!

Anyways, must be off - speak soon guys!

Hi Guys,

For those of you that came on the last sunday blat, I'm trying to sort out a date for the next one! Works getting busier so time to play is short!!

One question - Does any one know who the chap in the Red VX220 Turbo was that peeled off just after coming of the hogs back towards Puttenham!?!

Anyways, for those who made an appearance on the trip to Brighton, I look forward to driving with you again... soon!

Regards
