Oh, and the 'Manchester' meet is a bit of a misnomer if last time is anything to go by. We meet closer to Oldham than Manchester and make our way to the top of the hills over the border in god's country.

Its only half way up the A666 about 20 minutes drive from the M62

I live off J23 of the M60 and it takes me about half an hour to get there.

ill call him tonight and see what he says, will need a guestimate of numbers though.

Holy jebus! I go away to work and look at all of the replies :eek:

ROFL @ Fox getting called a boy racer

About time someone said it tbh

great advice, no worries mate

Been quite busy myself, but we'll definitely sort something out. Darwin is in Blackburn isn't it?

I think the whole of the 'southern lot' should come down and see how we do it Manchester Styleeeeee

I think the first weekend of the 2 would be best for me, glad its drumming up so much support, ansd Gilly yes it is close to the border of your home land, we cant hold in in oldham or someone would rob all our cars and shout abuse at us, luckily for us there are prime driving roads 5 mins outside which we can yet again abuse.

Weather will most likely prove to be "interesting" this time. Might cause more people to overshoot certain junctions!

They only have to read the "story" in the old thread to see what is in store. That and watch the vids

Some people are to lazy, and then they will fall pray to the "corner of death".

Wrong side of the hills for me I'm afraid. I don't know where the A666 is but anything thats actually Manchester or further and I'm out.

If anyone's up for caning round Saddleworth again though I'm in

Gilly · 17 Oct 2005 at 14:26

It is. Thats why its hard to let them go. In the dry its never handled better but in the wet there's no grip at all

cymatty · 17 Oct 2005 at 14:27

Gilly · 17 Oct 2005 at 14:27
