Following on from the very enjoyable mini hoon on the weekend, is anyone up for an Xmas day extravaganza?

Sign up here....obviously it will depend on weather but assuming the weather is acceptable, I'm game...

We used to have a Boxing Day run. Good to get a bit of fresh air after the Christmas Day indulgences.

If I was single with no commitments I'd be all over this biggrin

I once drove 250 miles to the in-laws on Christmas morning and it was like a scene from 28 Days Later - totally deserted roads.

Have a good one!

Love to do this but the other half would have my balls hanging on the tree.

Perfect day for a Dawn Raid, but like most I'll be putting toys together for the little one!

I'll probably do my usual drive on Christmas day, don't think there is any point in tagging along with you as I'll be far far far too slow in the Saab.

If his route is anything like the last one there are at least two roads that simply blow away any you'd find in the Peak - worth a trip at some point even if not tomorrow thumbup

Have a good one lads. The roads here in the Lakes were rivers yesterday!

Just been out for a quick run, York to Wetherby. Roads fantastic, just a low sun to contend with.

If it stays dry, could be a good run tomorrow.
