Evening all,

I'm around the Basingstoke area tomorrow evening (June 13th). Does anyone want to come out and play?

Around 7pm?

actually i'm guessing westy doesn't reallly know the area too well - i can suggest a bit of a weird loops that should be pretty fun, although not stricktly basingstoke it does start and finish there :)

head from b-stoke over to hook on the london road, throught hartley whitey on the odiham road (very nice stretch here), up bracknell lane, back on odiham road to riseley, spin round at roundabout just outside it and back down odiam road to hook, drink at the leather bottle and the m4 back to b-stoke (looks something like this: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=234362)

oh and it would be a shame not to do the churchill way(center of b-stoke)->m4 run, thats great fun :)

edit: looking at it, thats about 30miles worth of stuff, mainly national limited B roads, should be albe to do it in about 20min at a guess, so could extend upto Reading, across towards newbury and back down the a4-a340 which is a really nice road, IF theres no traffic infront - zero overtaking points :(

Route looks good Sam - who's up for it then?

M3 you silly boyo ;)

Im coming, shame its raining because i cant push my FRP very hard in the wet otherwise ill bin it :( ( needs new tyres and its not renowned for its "wet performance" ) But hopefully the sun will pop out and it will dry up a little bit.

Ill be coming down with a mate or some mates too :) Dunno how long ill stay cos i dont have much $$$$

Sam

M3!

Sounds good Sam, i'm not going to push at all either, as i'm not sure how good my tyres are in the wet, plus it'll be a bit slippy.

Does 7pm sound good to everyone? I'll be leaving Liphook at roughtly 6, so i'll be there in plenty of time :)

Does anyone have a mobile number I can take in case I get stupidly lost, and a road name of where we are meeting?

I'll put my number up for everyone, as i'll probably be there first: (removed)

Alright guys, am leaving in a minute, so I should be there about 6.40. I'll try and find a car park or something as close to the meeting place as possible, anyone who can't find me, give me a call!

I was the passenger in said alfa... Ian was *hmmm theres someone trying to overtake me* followed by my thought of *yeah, your back-end!*

Tis a quick car though, alas the handling leaves a little to be desired compared to the FRP and MX5!!

Damn right its quick - what engine has it got?

We tried a few runs on the M3 from around 75-80 upwards, there really wasn't much between our cars..
