Oooh, sounds good.

Don't mind going 2-up in mine if anyone fancies a ride (though I think Jono will be requesting a seat).

if we pile 2 -3 in each car, that should be adequate, just pick the faster cars (sadly ill be in the focus, but its pretty good on the back roads, and with the chip and so such it shouldnt be tooo slow, so it could still be a spirited drive if people want

) I was thinking we could probably drive out of cheltenham, go through northleach etc, go to bourton, then come back and go through to winchcombe, toddington etc etc ? prolly an hour or so's drive at least, but if people are interested, those are some pretty cool roads

Plus if needs be i might well head down the night b4 so could be one of the 9am runners

riteo, from that, who can get there for 9am, and if not, when do you expect to arrive? when I know this ill try and sort the running order

I have no idea how long it takes to get there so I can't say. Surely it makes sense though to have the people who live closest running the earliest? Saves the rest of us having to get up at 5am just to get there.

its just over an hour from stoke to powerstation, and manch is what, at most andother 30 mins, so say 2 hours drive if you drive at 80-85 ?

of course it makes sense for the closest to run first, which is why I need to know when people can arrive !!

ill do some cool pictures to show people the way from the motorway

cant go wrong

London is straight down the motorway from Leeds too. What a strange comment to make.

It takes me just under an hour to get to Manchester from my house, I'll be coming from work so it'll be a little longer than normal, plus I have to get to Manchester then get to below it to meet you guys.

I was looking to set off no earlier than 7:30, getting me to south Manchester for around 9:00.

Why?

If the first runners are running so early, and it takes a bit to set it up for each car, I don't understand why we'd want to be setting off so early.

I suppose I could switch things round and set off at 6:30 or so, if absolutely necessary.

Did you do your 2:40 via the M62/M6 because thats longer than M1 first...

do you not want to see all the other cars on the rollers tho :confused:

Can someone confirm the date? (the first post says 2nd/3rd weekend in Oct).

ill clear that up

and to be honest, I cant see it being a problem as there are bound to be people dropping out

Had it been the 2nd or 3rd weekend, I'd have been there, but on the first weekend (Oct 2nd) I'll be in the US still.

shotgun ! I dont want you lighting my tyres

should be a reasonable drive considering the car will have had a bit of tinkering

30% or so more power, which in reality translates to me getting to 60 .1 of a second quicker, the car sounding slightly less lethargic (panel filter) and me getting 1 more mph out the top end, satisfied?

Hi, whats the max number of runners? Can you keep me on the provisional list as I need to know if my exhaust and other repairs will be done by then!

Do they do the power run in 4th or 5th?

they never mentioned max, just said 15 minimum

and yes dangerous, its a 1.8 TDCi

Conanius · 21 Aug 2004 at 23:03

hope people dont mind me pimping this back up, any chance it could be a sticky till the event temporarily? (sp)

kk

random question gilly, your clio is a 172 yes? dont suppose youve tried a 182 also have you?

Conanius · 21 Aug 2004 at 23:17

Its a Cup, not a straight 172. Lighter and faster than both the 172 and the 182.

I've not had any length of time in one, but I had a quick drive, yes.

lighter ey... might have to ask for a ride in it if you dont mind at the RR.. curious to see if it has that lil bit more I wished the 182 had.... slightly more er, passionate (?) exhaust note would have been nice

I've had a couple of people ask. Looks like I might be giving rides out then.

hehe

ill leave it if its gonna be a bit packed mate.... looks like the cup will be this rr's vx220

Conanius · 21 Aug 2004 at 23:29

hehe

theres a lil route you can do from the pub, very easy and suitable, imo

(remembers the wadge on merlin's bonnet last time) they do take cards, but it will take a time doing it that way
