Default Xmas Run Out

Now for the last few years some of us enthusiastic types have enjoyed a zip about when the roads are really quiet over the Xmas period.

Some of the roads we can only use during this time, I know's some special ones.

This year I fancy making it a bit different......................having the start about 6PM .

I'll come up with a date but does anyone else fancy a wee zip about in the dark? Get rid of some turkey bellies with the adrenaline buzz?

Now all start listening to Iron Maiden - Fear of the dark Live in Rio whilst driving quickly.

Sat 27th/Sun 28th is looking good.

Anyone else..................give me a date and the majority gets it.


1. Blue Dragoon either.

guys just thinking ahead this year i think it will be v cold and no matter how good a driver we think we are sometimes theres only one place you will be going if you hit black ice and thats into a hedge
plus if the snow is down which looking at my crystal ball could be a dead cert
will be more fun in the daytime

I have to admit Rich, that crossed my mind too. The way the weather seems to be going, a late one this time of year would be a little dodgy, although a lot of fun

Personally I'd prefer day run. But as long as I get to have a run I don't care
