I think I'll be up for this.

[chrisbr68]

Good man ed! Looks like I'm still an apprentice! Car is fixed now, so we wont be in the rover this time.

[Fordo]

Hello all, im a mate of chrisb- i'll be coming along to, in my rover 420 turbo- dont laugh, it may be an old grandad car, but im poor, and it offers quite good bang for buck!

Engine is pretty healthy, pushing out 197.5 bhp, 193.8 lb/ft of torque- not bad for a 10 year old car, which only cost me £50

Need to put the thing back together tommorow though- ive been replacing bearings in the gearbox.

Its the one on the right:



Here it is on the rollers at dynotech



And heres me being arty



Should be a fun drive!

I will be up for this if I can get out of bed on time.

[mrsmadmark]

after today, we are buying a satnav

Thanks to bigviper for getting us to the ace

and then thanks to focused for getting us to Brooklands (focuseds satnav)

Not sure what happened to the red rover that was following us to brooklands when we got there?

cheers Eddie for organising it, hope you didn't get too wet on the way home

[chrisbr68]

Really enjoyed today, the breakfast at Ace was amazing! Nice to chat with a few of you guys and check out all the lurvely cars.

Didnt expect you guys to go a different route to us, else we would have stuck with you! Looking forward to the midnight run

[chim-ian]

I second the thanks to Bigviper for getting me to the Ace
Hope you all enjoyed Brooklands.

Yeah we wondered where you'd gone.
We all needed to follow Big Viper as none of us knew the route.
He took us on a really good route through a beautiful park ( can't remember the name)
See you on the midnight run

I guess bigvipers taxi driver knowledge helps a lot around London, I hear he sleeps with a London A-Z every night

It wasn't Hyde Park.
It was a really big park with deers in it - it was on the way to Brooklands from the Ace Cafe.

[plug]

It was a good day out, I really enjoyed it.
I think the park was Richmond park, but don't quote me on that as I know as my round London nearly as much as Mrs Triple S.
