Are you coming Sav?

 

Mr Shitpeas reckons that the 66 is closed westbound, so we're going the straight / slow way, meeting at my house.

[Ghosty]

The Rover is alive.

I'm on.

[bub2006]

I'll bring it back down for ya m9

Thanks mate. Appreciated

[loserone]

Tow bar, boot rack and vagcom cable packed. Car seat strapped in (assuming we're in the scooby to start with).

 

Just nappies and snacks to pack before ceilidh tonight.

[Guest Hooli]

I've now got a load of FastFord, Retro, Craptical Plastics and a few assorted other mags in the boot for anyone daft enough to take them.

 

Please shout up if you want the RR V8 waterpump or manual Saab 9-5 turbot rad & I'll put them in too.

[tooSavvy]

The Savv suffers 'range anxiety'....

 

Big trips have to be on familiar routes....

 

Circular trips are OK, provided it includes a Hungry Horse and/or Tesco

[loserone]

I think we're working of a small tank for frequent refuelling*

[Richard]

Richard are we still planning to meet at Abington 0800ish give or take 10 mins?

Yes, with added Rover.

[davidfowler2000]

Roger that. Meet near the electric charging points at the furthest point in the car park.

[hairnet]

that sounds wee bit dodge

[chaseracer]

I am arrived at the Cross Keys in Milnthorpe.  Seems OK.

 

Loserone, I have your CAR mags.  Plus a shedload of other assorted crap!

[Squire_Dawson]

I'm travelling by Snipe but there probably won't be any carpets fitted.

Race car then?

[eddyramrod]

It's getting real now.  Gulp!

My chauffeur is coming to me for 0900, so look out for Huggy between half past and ten.

[Ghosty]

I'm aiming for 10.

[Jim Bell]

I think we probably wont land till after 1100 as the A66 seems to be shut.  Diversion via Alston is gonna make it about 3 hours?! each way. We shall be there though.

[MarvinsMom]

Cocopop has been prepped, cleaned, polished and generally cleaned up. 

 

just gotta top the fuel tank off before leaving town 

 

Google says its 120-odd miles to Ulverston so hoping to arrive for 11am-ish give or take.

[The Moog]

Yeah probably won't be there till past 11 ISH I think

[LabRat]

I'll be going M62/m61/m6, so hopefully will get there for around 10ish.

[Richard]

I'll be going B940/A91/M90/A977/A876/M876/M9/A905/A904/M9/M876/M80/M74/A74(M)/M6/A590 and hope to be there at 10ish too.

When did the forum switch to IPv6?

[Jazoli]

I am arrived at the Cross Keys in Milnthorpe. Seems OK.

I've driven past there twice tonight

 

Don't know if I'm coming tomorrow as I've stuff to do, pitiful really as it's about 12 miles from me, I've never been to the museum either dispite having driven past it a thousand times

[MarvinsMom]

You have never been?

 

even though you live quiet close?

 

now that is sad, cos the museum is a nice collection of the wierd and the wonderful. from a Rover Mini Cooper RSP with 3 miles on the clock, to a Trabant, or a Peel P50 or a mint (though last i time i saw it, it was listing on one side cos of a hydragas leak?) mark 1 allegro 1100 via all manner of cars, motorcycles,diecast cars and other bits of memrabelia.

 

plus there i a lovely cafe on site so the reason to call in is to treat the lady wife/girlfriend/life partner to tea and cake.....

 

and you still haven't been?

 

shame..... shame......

[rawy]

[alcyonecorporation]

Anyone want to swap diecasts for fuel money?

[taxi paul]

I shall hopefully be there for around twelve. I shall have a big lad with me called John. He is autistic and likes cars . I shall also have my two kids and my granddaughter. Foster child said he may come or he may stay in bed. He also loves cars. I have filled my bus up with £80.00 of shells finest 97 octane. I am hoping to have some left when I get back. Safe travels everyone.
