Anyone up for it?

I did a route last week that was just shy of 100 miles and took about 3 hours, plenty of stunning scenery and quite a few pubs a few roadside cafes too along the way

If anyone is interested, then the roads will encompass the Marsden moors above Huddersfield, Peak District National Park and some of South Yorkshires good fast roads too

Might be up for this fela will have to see if i can get it off work, sounds like a good day. 100 miles looks like a trip to the shell station then for a fill up, you happy with your car now

Graceland

Very happy with the car Si - just put a new front diff oil seal on the input pinion as it was weeping - hope that's the end to the front diff leaking saga then Adam knows about it and has finally come round to the idea too

My local shell now sells 99ron V-Power too at the same price as the V-power elsewhere


Aidi - Deffo a good day, some cracking roads and pretty much all was done in the speed limit too which was a rarity

DangerousBryan

Luciano

MrBroadside

last Sunday was a good drive out, some awesome views and the roads were just fantastic, got a few stares going through the local places, two cossies together and Gracie firing up the Anti-lag was very funny.

Graceland

Bryan - thinking about 1300 at the pub as above. Obviously this is very weather pending and with todays rain and gloom it's looking a bit hit and miss for Sunday - lets hope it clears up a lot for Sunday

DangerousBryan

ok,will see you there if the weather is ok.

Graceland

Awesome stuff - you still got my mobile number?

MrBroadside

Sundays forecast looks ok

DangerousBryan

Graceland

The roads are fast but it is the bits that drop through little villages that are slow.

Come on Sunday if you want - you'll be surpsied at how slow the roads are

im about an hour away m8 so im gunna leave about 11.30ish to allow me to get lost. but can i have ur number so i can ring u if i really cant find the pub. haha
ive got google map printed out but il probably find a way lol

DangerousBryan

well my daughter contracted swine flu last night so i will either be there on my own or not at all. see how it go's.

Graceland

Matt have you got my mobile number? The meeting point is really really easy to get to. Come down the M62 towards Manchester and exit at Junction 24 (after the 4 lane uphill bit) and then follow the signs to Rochdale (off the motorway, to the roundabout then first exit, go onto the next roundabout and then 3rd exit signposted Outlane/Rochdale. Follow that road for 2 miles and then you are at the pub )

Bryan - Shit news about your daughter and the swine flu I think you need to come out and avoid contracting it

m4tt274

iTrader: (2)

leaving now guys. (hopefully) cya in abit

DangerousBryan

looks like we are all coming now. daughter and misses will be staying in the car though. might be a bit late as it was a last minute decision. will give you a bell when i know how late gracey. specs cameras on the m1 won't be helping either.grrr

Graceland

No probs Brian - we'll be hanging about a bit waiting at the pub anyhoo, but you've set off so won't see this anywya

m4tt274

iTrader: (2)

good day m8, have to have another some time (y)

Graceland

Definately a cracking day out Matt - Really enjoyed myself. The P100 is an absolute credit to the both of you - a lovely motor which will be simply brilliant once finished - PM me your MSN address too fella

Bryan - Good to see you again matey, the M3 still rocking along fault free too Nice to see no-one got swine flu today neither

p.cressie

Take it the day went well. Any pics?

DangerousBryan

yep.was a good run out, would of stuck with it a bit longer but freya had had enough. if i had known you were heading for sheffield i would of followed.lol
the p100 sounded ace but definately needs something sorting with the rear suspension. it looked way to soft and loose.
gracey if you could of seen the look on peoples faces when you fired the antilag. priceless, dont think the gtir knew what was going on at the lights in holmfirth either.
car was fine all day but needs shorter gearing, couldn't cope with the two cossies in the acceleration at all. was a lot more even up near 3 figures though.
hope to do it again soon.

MrBroadside

i enjoyed it lol, wish we had filmed some of it tho, belive pics will be up tomos

DangerousBryan

if they had filmed one bit you would be in the nick
thats as well as nearly embedding yourself in the back of fred dibnah's steam engine
