Just wondering, how would you guys feel to a cross-forum meet?

I've mentioned this meet to a few of the Rover guys, some of them are already signed up here... just thinking we could turn it into something special.

agw_01 · 25 Feb 2006 at 23:57

Says you Mike

What was it your old MR2 went in for?

This sounds fun, put me down as a maybe.

It's more than fun mate

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 10:43

lol Si, you've been saying that for weeks

Right, well in that case, we've got a Rover 220 SLi and an 800 Vitesse Sport to add to the provisional/almost certain list :cool:

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 10:53

Oh, cheers for that Lopez

I'm not fitting it by myself, don't worry. I've got a friend from the previously named Rover forums who's coming to help. He did his so it should be pretty straightforward. Will keep that in mind though.

I'm still trying to remember where I heard 'cracking the balljoint'...

He is bringing a spare battery, jump leads, wing mirrors, suspension, and probably altenator

paradigm said:
No, i'm just listing parts he ACTUALLY had in his car yesterday/said he was bringing

LMFAO, brilliant

Yeah the back seats were a little full of random crap. You should see my boot, it's worse than Si's. I'll get it all sorted next weekend, I promise.

El, definately bringing the alternator. There was one hiding under all that junk anyway.

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 15:29

Well, if it's anything like it was for the first part of yesterday, then... we're in for a good day

Even I was making good progress... well at least until my brakes started smoking. Managed to catch up with Si in the bends. He brakes too much

Don't worry, I'll remember to put my tartan rug on the parcel shelf

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 16:30

Yeah, that's quite embarrasing... my car actually slows down going up the motorway :eek:

WTF, I'm in 4th gear with my foot planted!

It may have been a red rover with a certain OAP driver.

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 16:57

No it wasn't... it was flame red.

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 17:02

They don't count. They were 800's

I saw a traffic cop up there today though but luckily I wasn't ragging it at the time. Thats if a battered Mondeo is allowed

What, along the moors roads? That can't be happening!

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 18:13

LOL, that's true. Unless they wait at dead mans junction.

It'd look a bit dodgy seeing all these modified cars with young guys driving them, heh.

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 18:20

You can... as long as I can say

The Rover of Superior Unjustified Justice

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 18:25

LOL

It was quite scary I can tell you

To say the car was designed to take my grandma to the shops every week, it definitely kept me grinning when I was pushing it yesterday. Oh how I'm looking forward to getting my suspension on!

On several of the bends, I went on the other side of the road to cut across... and woah... rally styleeeeee

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 18:26

LOL

Is that a give way sign? Dead mans junction?

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 18:44

So we've got 172 Corner, Dead Mans Junction and Suicide Bridge.

How about The Killer Mile for that huge straight road, or maybe for the large hill which climbs back up the other side.

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 19:53

Luke, you've got no idea how much fun these roads are.

It's quite amazing. They go from grin inducing flat-outness to new-pants-required cornering. Definitely the best roads I've ever been on!

agw_01 · 26 Feb 2006 at 19:55

LOL

Told you I was a spammer

edit... How do you find out the number of posts in one thread?
