Why? What have you done ?

Post by **agw_01** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 1:28 pm

Nothing

It's just that ETV put me down as being Unknown when I'd say "Same as above" in my earlier post.

Yes we have a large car park outside our house so can go from there.

Anyone from the sheffield/rotherham/leeds side is welcome to meet up near our place and convoy down the back roads to get to the pub if they want to.

SteTommo · Post by **SteTommo** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 10:36 pm

I think matt is running a convoy from sheffield

BlueRover · Post by **BlueRover** » Thu May 03, 2007 3:21 am

Saw Andrew tonight and he's not coming with me as he wants to do a few more jobs on the 420. I will be attending and if anyone comes through Bolton (Tommo ?) at about 11:00 am, let me know and I'll arrange to meet up somewhere.
Failing that, at what time are we having lunch ?

SteTommo · Post by **SteTommo** » Thu May 03, 2007 7:28 am

I'll sort something out as I'll be going past bolton, failing that I was aiming to meet up at noon in the pub.

I@ll send you a PM when I have a little more time.

SteTommo · Post by **SteTommo** » Fri May 04, 2007 10:55 pm

OK guys this is tomorrow. I'll be leaving leigh at 10am, traveling around the top of the M60, then down the M67 and onto Snake Pass (A57).

Matts not running a Sheffield convoy anymore, sorry

BlueRover · Post by **BlueRover** » Fri May 04, 2007 11:26 pm

I just pm'd you with the same route. That way, we get to use the pass twice.
I'll be back at Farnworth by 10:30 after... well, read the pm, you'll know why then.

Beaker · Post by **Beaker** » Fri May 04, 2007 11:46 pm

Well just washed one car, one more to go tomorrow.

Cya all there tomorrow.

Does the pub know we are coming so we don't overwhelm it with food orders?

SteTommo · Post by **SteTommo** » Sat May 05, 2007 9:14 am

I rang up a month ago to confirm they said it wasn;t a problem

I'll give em another ring now

Great roads, nice pub, excellent company. Wouldn't mind doing a full course over the Peak District sometime. That makes me want to do the Lakes again this summer. Honister Pass, mmmmmm.

E_T_V · Post by **E_T_V** » Sat May 05, 2007 8:15 pm

A lovely little run out. I hope you enjoyed the road back to woodhead! I did say it wasa bit bendy/bumpy.

What were the chances of 2 220 GTi Turbos and 2 Maestro turbos turning up? Nice photo too.

Look at that Ferrari. (h)

BlueRover · Post by **BlueRover** » Sat May 05, 2007 8:39 pm

I wouldn't mind driving a fully specced rally car down there. The suspension on the 800 is a little soft and yes, some of those bends

The gradients were a little on the

too.
I'm deffo going back again after I study the video and do some pace notes..

It arrived with an Elise. You can just see it to the left of the Ferrari.
