cdco and I are going up to Devil's Bridge, Kirby Lonsdale tomorrow. Anyone else fancy joining us?

Not sure what time, could make it up for 11am or earlier. Hopefuly, there won't be too many bikes around

edited as I had but Kirby Stephen rather than Kirby Lonsdale but you knew what I meant

Unhappy

Was sorely tempted to make another trip up to Lancs
But reeling after looking at my payslip and realised how much Xtra the gvt have siphoned off April's salary

Need to take it easy this month

Have fun

Jon, Don't worry you didn't put me off it was good to finally get to chat to some other owners and to see the motors, at least Ill know some faces when I get to the NBO! ANy way once I get my camera down loaded Ive got a couplke of photies to down load - dont know how they came out cos I was mucking around whilst we were in the traffic - havent got you though cos that TiTty got between us. And after listening to the other cars I think I need to change that exhaust!! See you all again ->> think next time exchaniging moby numbers might be a good idea.

Jon u need to check the date on your PC cos all your posts are showing as april!!!!!

jon, get yerself a turbo bonnet mate, car looks and sounds like one anyway, so you might as well!!!
martin
good to finally meet up!, next time, like cdco says we should give out our phone numbers so we dont get lost!!!
terry, i take it that you found jon as you have his number, saw you turn off by little chef, so we went up to the garage but not a sign!!
at least we met up anyway !!!

Thumbs up

Martin, Have driven the A59 loads from 17 used to go bombing up there at night in various motors when I was a kid (Grew up in the longridge / clitheroe / ribchester area) so the 59 and the trough were fave hunting grounds. Took the Scoob up there the first night I got it to see what it would do - was most impressed - we could have done with a little less traffic though. Wouldn't have minded getting close to that AMG 55 that was ahead. Any way good run out saved working on the house.

er,er,

I pulled out the crappy garage we all stopped at and went half a mile down road (no where else safe to pull in) and waited but no-one else followed So, I decided to nip on thorugh to Skipton (I needed fuel [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] ) and ended going to Esso far side of Skipton. Found Bobmac on my way back to little thief and waited at the Renault garage for twenty minutes

<quickly changes subject>

Did you see the hill climb metro in the showroom?

Brewery and p!$$ up come to mind, lets swop moby's next time

jon, back in my bad old bays used to run a hill climb metro v similsr to that one so the modding bug is nothing new - 1 championship win (road going class) 2 event class wins etc etc. Approx 150 BHP from 1.3 turbo motor widened lowered, water injection, 18 point cage , straight cut box etc , etc you name it it changed . So i know about the bug, but i need this one to be able to go long distances so im going to be moderate ----- 4 now!
