No pressure like, Clayts! 

[clayts450]

Uh-oh, why does this suddenly feel like it's some kinda initiation ceremony.... I'm in*.

 

(*Unless I get something bought. And bloody quick)

[Pillock]

Someone (not me) has to buy a car to round out the year in style.

 

...immediately followed by...

 

Count me in

 

The essence of bad timing tommotech! Remember to bring your bank card!

[Pillock]

No pressure like, Clayts! 

 

No pressure at all, but if you can only get as far as Loughborough you can have a lift in that direction too

[clayts450]

My old stomping ground, Loogabrooga. I actually have my feelers out there for an old shitpile at present but I suspect it may have already gone, more's the pity.

[320touring]

Right, intention is for me to depart circa 12 noon, aiming to be in Cannock South by 6.30ish if traffic is ok

 

Shall we have a Friday Night dinner session too?

 

Say 7 or 7.30pm?

 

Mr Chaseracer could you arrange?

Consider it done! 

 

EDIT: It IS done! 

[dollywobbler]

What time? Looks I might have to do an afternoon school run, which is annoying as I doubt I'll be on the road much before 5pm...

[catsinthewelder]

I'm in for the Saturday but will have the 3 kittensinthesolderingirons in tow.

[chaseracer]

Dinner booked for 7.30, but can amend if required.

[dollywobbler]

I should be able to make that. Should book a room I guess...

 

EDIT - easier said than done. Their website is knackered...

working on steam powered internet device

[dollywobbler]

Jeepers. Cannot get premierinn.com to work on my laptop for unknown reasons. Tried using my mobile and the prices doubled! Changed to desktop view on my mobile and the prices went back down again. Bloody charlatans. 

[chaseracer]

Dinner venue information would be useful, would it not?  

 

 

Yes Neil, well guessed - the Longford House Beefeater attached to your Premier Inn.

So, weather forecast is currently snow, possible gales and arctic temperatures. Ace! May leave the Lexus at home...

[Inspector Morose]

But will the invacar be ready by Friday?

Wales or Midlands?

 

I only have the option of 172 with traction control, or 172 no traction control

[dollywobbler]

Shouldn't think so. Might not have an engine by Friday...

Wales, but it'll be bloody cold everywhere.

I just checked and Cannock showing snow showers for Friday.. looks worse than up here. I may aim to leave ultra sharp on Friday

Good news for me is that bus duty has been canned, so I can set off early too. Biggest problem here is that I need to cross a mountain pass to get to The Midlands. Or anywhere really! Will be putting my faith in the Nokian All-weather tyres. They're yet to have a full snow test.

[chaseracer]

It'll be fine!!

[dollywobbler]

It'd better be. Nae refunds on the hotel room!
