Got in a bit of bother earlier

Was looking on an Ordanance Survey map earlier and noticed something interesting, disused runway and built but unused roads type interesting....

Decided to go check it out on way home, and to my suprise it was complete (inc traffic lights etc!) and relativley accesable, barring some anti-gyppo massive concrete blocks in the road...

Not letting that put me off, it was time to get over there somehow... LETS OFF ROAD

Straight over a load of freshly laid turf and heyhey, i got a whole load of road to myself
Unfortunatley i came across some more gyppo barriers and was sooo dark down there i called it a day and went back...

Onto the grass again and whoops, wheeeeeeelspin and im stuck
No matter what i tried (inc stealing some stuff from a local building site to try help ) i was stuck and had dug a foot deep hole with the wheels

Had a tow rope on me (from something else just as irrisponsilble last week which ended in a volvo with a blown up gearbox ) so called a mate to tow me out, in a fucked 1.4 Seat Ibiza

Then the Security came Old cunt kicked right off and was calling HQ when my mate arrived, so we quickly hooked tow rope up and after about 10mins pulling and destroying the Ibizas clutch, i was out

And then we fucked off quick smart before backup came

Security geezer reckoned il be paying for damage but we will see...

 

Im taking a stab in the dark as Im not sure where your from Steve.... but was it on this list ?

If not change the 05 ending to 04 or 03 etc...

Were constantly looking for new venues and sites like that are handy for finding them..... so I have done a bit of what you describe above myself in the past on the odd occasion

 

Fookin quality story Steve!

Having a trip back for some top speed runs then?

 

Yea, that website is good Soo many to check tho, il find one i can slyly use one day

Il be back in the daytime when i can see a bit better, and with big planks to drive over the swamp

Or maybe a Land Rover to pull the gypo barriers out the way

TBH id prefer someone that wasnt just straight lines, drift practice would be handy...

 

Straight or twisty, anywhere you can just play is cool!

Infact best job to apply for would be security... just fetch your own car on and hoon it around.... and get paid about Ł2 an hour for doing it

 

oh ah steve, where was that then?

ill be back in the office on thursday, and im not to busy so ill come along for a laugh

 

Tim- yeah mate anywhere is good

Dan- Near me mate, bout 10miles from me, jus off the M5, il have to go back on weekend at daytime and have a good nose round.

Im sure il find somewhere just as good, time to break out the OS maps, there loads of old airfields etc around, thankyou WW2
