inconsistant Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hey Bob love you too kiss kiss. Egg, they can rest here for ages, no problem at all. If you're desperate for them we could meet up 2 metres apart in an isolated car park somewhere and I can roll/throw them the last 2 metres to you. I'm not going to come to the smol meet either. I sort of assumed we'd probably want to postpone it until the future is rosey again. egg and outlaw118 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I have this image of a bunch of men standing at least two metres apart looking vaguely at old cars in the distance. If anyone is in a band i reckon it would make an excellent album cover egg, outlaw118 and Christine 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Likewise, had assumed the meet would be postponed so was just waiting for an offical announcement about it. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuboy will be ok as he has an R.S. airbrake on the back I grew up in Maidstone - know Detling Hill well and exactly what you mean about the descent (towards Maidstone), looks easy until you attack it at speed then it's easy to run out of road, brakes, talent and luck as a few friends of mine did back in the mid-80's, ending up in the scenery.

It's a very cheeky speed camera at the bottom, you build momentum - so sticking to the 50 can be tricky if you're unfamiliar with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Didn't a child get run down ? They put a bridge over it ? Or traffic lights or something? egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the speed cameras came first and then the bridge. There's certainly other A roads in Kent that could do with similar crossings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade's_Crossing Very sad.

davocano Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I was born in Maidstone and although my parents moved away when I was two years old, my grandparents lived there until 1979 with assorted aunts and uncles finally passing on in the mid-80s. I do remember quite a bit of the area from that time but Detling Hill escapes me. Fascinating* I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vantman Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I bought a VW Beetle-897 TDV- from Square Hill Motors in the early 1960s. Christine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
