tvrbob said: We could have a Yorks/North East Blatt that sounds like a great idea! maybe I'll post something on their forum to see if they're up for it...

Why not do it in this forum and encourage chim_girl etc. to come look here. Ted may be able to replicate/mirror the thread between forums or is it (fori).

[tvrbob]

Stefan this was for a new, as yet unplanned event. I too am aware that the Yorks set are busy 15th Feb

With the Westfield back on the road minimax is now capable of time travel so you guys shouldn't have any problems.

PLEASE let me know of any further meets, and I'll keep an eye on the postings

Wendy just keep an eye on this forum. We are planning lots during the year and this is where we'll post. This group is new and has only met a couple of times so you won't be the newbe, you'll just be one of us. You are more than welcome at anything we put on. I for one was looking forward to having an Elise on the run. Hope you can make it next time.

[tvrbob]

Oh no the usual reduction in numbers has started early. Still I don't care I'm going regardless.

I need to join the Yorkshire lot, weather doesn't stop them.

Sorry Wildfire. Nothing personal intended, I was passing a general comment that this NE section event was starting to go the way they always go. Just frustrated I guess, I've invested time money and reputation in an attempt to make this a fun day. I hope you can come, I know you'll enjoy it and I'm sure you'll come if you can.

......as long as the toys stay in the pram.

.....and I thought you had a hard top pram. The toys should just bounce around inside much like the people will on those wonderful country roads

[tvrbob]

.....and you sit there in the driving seat with a great big grin on your face

[tvrbob]

Just keeping those juices flowing

Hutton-le-Hole


Winter roads


Potential road kill

Those two birds in the third picture look quite tasty.....

So you've heard what we get up to on these NY Moors runs. I thought it was Wedg1e's secret.

Thanks for the warning Stefan. I know all about juggling priorities. Hope you can get things in order and make it on the day. If not then let me know and we'll just have to hope for next time.

......But if I'm feeling brave, I may still come out to play on the 15th....

Please please do. I'd so love to see your car in convoy with all these other cars.

wendyg said:

...Bugger, that also means I have to get out and try to get the car run-in, or I'm restricted to 3K rpm...

How many miles are left before you're right foot can play? Actually country roads are OK with a 3k limit. We'll probably find ourselves cruising quite a lot anyway.

the exhaust/manifold is "fixed

Excellent news.

docevi1 said:

....so am hoping to get it rolling roaded this week sometime...

Rolling road is good but for what you describe simple tuning shoud do, even 'colour tune'. Choke is purely mechanical so you should be able to check that without the need to pay for expert help.
