yeah, what the hell was that at chelford roundabout, well waterlogged. thanks for coming out tonight guys, much better than being on my own, except supertouring nicked my overtaking spot, hehe.
roads were a bit too busy tonight, suprising really for a sunday evening, nevermind, I had a great time, and the drive back home with scoobygav555 and supertouring was excellent down the country lanes, except the bit where I forgot which way the road went, and instead of bearing left, I went right, and down the access road to Lyme Park west gate, sorry gav! hehe.
see you all again soon,
chris
ps, did you think I was driving quick enough tonight? seriously!
I've got my advanced driving lesson on wednesday, so wont be out then, maybe next sunday?

CW42 - You drove like a big girl, how else could I have got past you? Oh, and I do not think some of those overtaking manouvers are in the advance driving handbook!
A good run, but too much traffic and it was too dark down those narrow lanes, could not see the damn road most of the time. See you all in a couple of weeks.

Yup, nice evening for it. Where you thinking of going?
Just wondering if I need to haul up your way or meet somewhere closer to me. Just let me know (going upto to Marple just means I need to leave earlier - like soon )
Cheers,
Steel

I was just about to take my spoiler off and give it and the boot a really good clean when I realised what the time was!
Do you fancy a run around the back roads of derbyshire??
I can meet you in Romiley, if you can remember which way you came through here last time off the motorway!
give us a ring to let me know what you want to do, my mobile number is in your mail now,
chris.

Thanks for that steelx, nice run out, and the filming has worked. allthough the stuff out the back of my car is filled with a bloody great big spoiler, and not much else!
hope to see you this wednesday, when we should have a few more out to play,
see you soon,
chris.
ps, dont forget to look for some new tyres!

hehe, tyres? Yup, defo on the shopping list. I'm convinced now that it's the cheap ones the guy before had on it. They are fine until they get real warm and then become *jelly*. Not good (as I am sure the video shows )
Hope some of the footage I got of you is OK. Awesome sight coming back over the top with the sun dropping behind the horizon and you weren't hanging around either, must be the camera making you toe it ;-)
I shouldn't really have followed you past that lone car (BMW?) as the corner was approaching quick and jelly tyres were getting ready to make another appearance. Still, made it and to top the night off some guy in a prelude had a go on the way home. He went around the corners at a hell of a pace but couldn't shake me and come the straight, bye bye.
Excellent night. Cheers and Wednesday is looking good so far.

I will get some of the footage up on my site tomorrow, and send you the link. I'll just do a quick edit of the best bits so far, then make you a tape for wednesday.
see you then,
chris.

hi gav, nice to hear from you, I was just thinking of you today, as we are hopefully going out tonight, and the weather here is gorgeous for a change.
I've not seen your mum yet, although I have seen 2 lovely ladies in silver scooby's around here.
I will keep looking out for her, and give her a big wave if I see her.
Sounds like your having a great time out there, aren't you supposed to be working??
See you soon,
chris.

hope to see you later,

Hi Chris,
Sorry but I can't make it tonight, i've torn a muscle in my shoulder and steering at speed is a problem.
Hopefully it will be mended in time for the Northern Big One though in a couple of weeks. Are we orginising a convoy from here for the event.
Have a good one tonight. (I hope the rain holds off for you)
Paul

what you like you two! Nevermind, how about wednesday guys?
resurect the old meet for next week.
let me know if you can make it for wednesday.
As for a convoy, I have another thread running with a meet arranged at the PC WORLD car park in stockport, just off the portwood roundabout, off the M60, for the sunday morning. no times as yet, but we should also hook up with another convoy after setting off from there.
see you all soon,
just going to have a barbie, so I also hope the rain holds off!

Had a nice run out last night, and seemed to have sorted out my camera troubles. I think I may have had a duff tape, so tried a fresh one, and here is the result.
Hope to see you all out on wednesday night,
chris.
