Anyone fancy it

A few of the guys are out today, but I had to stay home and fix the clutch in the Corrado

So, anyone not working during the day on Monday fancy a steady blast out to the Dales (or anywhere else). Weather forecast is for 4-6º and light showers.



I'll meet the J.30 convoy as you come off the M62 at J.27 (Ikea) to lead you on the non-convoluted route through west Leeds (not Sticky's route which includes half of south Leeds ) out to the A65 and beyond.

Any other Leeds lads, 10.45am at the Brickworks, we can actually use their carpark as they shouldn't be open by then, or at worst they'll be quiet.

For the guys coming to meet us, come off at J.27 and take the A650 towards Bradford but within 100yds turn right onto the B6135 to Drighlington. The Old Brickworks is 200yds on the left with a 100' high chimbley that says "BRICKWORKS" on it, so you shouldn't miss it. HERE's A MAP

 

Due to some probs could not make it today but should be cool for the next one....

 

Probably, but you'll be hard pushed to beat todays TOP DAY OUT

 

probably too

but today was

 

Pictures? Detailed analysis?

C'mon!

 

Over on the original thread, oh non-phone-answering person.

 

When's the 2nd? Are we there yet?

 

We can't be cos I haven't had an MOT yet

 

You'll have to wait 'til next year mate

 

A whole year?

 

Had a quick chinwag with Sticky tonight and we talked about the possibility of doing this run again?

Sticky thought it was awesone with the views... so if the snow is still lieing, then we should have the same quality scenery...

How does this sound?

 

Sounds good, make sure you do a good snow dance Al. Not sure whether I'll make it or not but i'll give it a good shot!

 

M62 J30 again at 10:30?
Same(ish) route?

We can meet up with any Leeds based peeps further North.

 

I'll meet you all as you come off the M62 at J.27 (Ikea) to lead you on the non-convoluted route through west Leeds (not Sticky's route which includes half of south Leeds ) out to the A65 and beyond.

Someone had to lead the way, as our usual Dales guy let us down

 

What would I have rather done, 1: fit a replacement hydaulic clutch mechanism or 2: drive on some of Britains finest roads with a great bunch of guys

Please bear (or is it bare ) in mind that option 2 involved handing over the Scoob keys for its use in a days hairdressing on west Leeds finest council estates on the coldest, snowiest day of the year during a school holiday

 

Just worked out your route as opposed to mine from my house to the M62. Yours is exactly double Then again, if I were to try and find your house again I would probably end up going via Berlin and Cork Where is it again

 

Measuring it to the M62 may well give you those results, BUT...

Try again, and this time measure it to the M62 / M1 junction, which is where I needed to end up...

Your route : 9.6 miles on roads with which I am unfamiliar
My route : 11 miles on roads I know well

Not even worth discussing, is it. So double

 

I'm very much 50/50 I'll probably not know til the day, but darn I'll do my upmost!

 

First Rendevouz: 10:30

SMACS are gonna be out & about on the same day

Perhaps the meet at J30 should be clarified slightly. Meet up at the lay-bys on the ROTHWELL side of the junction, not the WAKEFIELD side.

There's usually a flower stall there. There's also a Tesco filling station up in Rothwell (about 1 1/2 miles away) that does 99RON unleaded, I'll be filling up there before heading down to the meeting point.

 

How to make the Scoob consumption remeniscent of the Evo

CLICK & CLICK

 

On the contrary, it actually appears to be better than with Opticack.

Still had over 1/4 a tank after the last 182 mile blat around the Dales

 

This may have something to do with that....
...as I can get 33mpg and over 400 miles to a tank if it's virtually all off boost. No fun though

 

No mention of how quickly the NSL was reached, or what gear I was in whilst adhering to it

If it's all gonna be off boost I'll take the van

 

I thought you sold that to Scoobyclinic

 

Just the 4? Shurely shome mishtake?

Hangovers will have cleared by then shurely?

Alcohol level may not have.. but at least you won't have a headache..

 

I'll be there Al (I hope). A bit of a late one last night suffice to say I'm about to go to bed now Fingers crossed I'll be fine in the morning and I'll be at Brickworks.
