When she said she was going to pop over to the basingstoke PassionFord meet tonight after work, I didnt realise she was still working in ipswich!

5 hours or so round trip in total I should imagine if she had some traffic on the way up, what a nutter!

Fair play!

 

Oh yeah thats the other thing, she arrived after that long trip and then straight away bought the first round of drinks

 

Fair play, and there was me having second thoughts about doing a 45 minute drive to the Durham group meet tonight

 

Shes Lovely, really grown up since I met her last .

Thanks for the drink & a great chat.
Rod

 

awwwwwwwww ya big softy chip!


well im home!!! Only took me an hour and 50 minutes! not a bad time i dont think.... right... really must go pee now!!!

 

According to multimap: 139.78 miles

140 miles / 110 minutes = 76mph average

Not bad going considering theres about 8 roundabouts just to get back to the first motorway section and thats literally door to door you averaged that speed including the time taken to walk to and from the car etc.

Speedo must have been WELL into 3 figures almost the entire way home to manage that sort of door to door average

 

Well it was 4 possibly 5 years since i saw you last!!!


Chip i dont know what you mean, i stayed well within the speed limit!

 

Sorry my mistake, maths never was my strong point, was only a fluke I got my maths gcse at 14 im sure you drove totally legally

 

I was just in my time machine thats all.... it helped a little!!!


oh and i had to stop for fuel on the way home!

 

LOL! Fair play... I see that you said you might pop by, Then thought you lived in Ipswich LOL

Nice one

 

FPMSL!!!!!!

 

That's good going Maria! I done Elland road football ground in Leeds to Ipswich in 2hrs 36 mins the other week.. But that was easy A1M A14 no hold ups or nothing! was impressed!

 

Was good to see you again Maria

Speaking of getting home - my trip was a bit scary! The A4 into Newbury has some tight turns on it, well it did last night! Maybe it was to do with the fact my dash lights swithed themselves off

But OBVIOUSLY I stayed within the speed limits at ALL times!

 

Whereabouts in Basingstoke guys?

 

Longbridge mill mate, on the a33

 

Ah cool thanks - I work on Jays close in B'stoke

 

No excuse not to come then bobby if maria can make it from ipswich and you are just down the road, lol

 

well done maria, was nice to meet you. didn't speak to you much, but you seemed lovely

i don't know what speed i did on the way home as my speedo was not lit - the rev counter was though, and it was over 8000 in 6th for a good way and 4000 rpm shows as 80mph on the speedo

 

was good to meet ya too dude finally!


Smit - youll have to come along nexttime!!
