brownnova Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I’ll be there if i possibly can be! Pretty much the same distance door to door as last time. Good target date for the Nova! BorniteIdentity, chaseracer and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I'm taking some comfort for last summer, when we enjoyed some freedom but cases and deaths dropped an awful lot. I'll be keeping my distance anyway I suspect. Going back to crowds is far from my current wish list! alcyonecorporation, loserone, mk2_craig and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_ZTT Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 95 miles for me, not bad. Never done a FotU but always liked the idea of it. Vel Satis too new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzy Woking Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 2780 mile return journey. In a 1.3 diesel. And no chance of a Covid vaccination before then. So I'll sit in my own field that day, with plenty of ice cold beer, and just watch for all the photos that will be posted up here on AS. loserone and alcyonecorporation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some brief train travel required on your part I could assist... Can go m25/a1 and dip into an outer lahndahn station (lez_unfriendly car though) , via MK Station would be en route too, you'd just need to be shit hot on the timings. Especially coming back as who knows when we'll leave! Or work it all out from Peterborough (Kings Cross) and I'll dive past and go that way.

From what I gather my son (17 in September) probably won't get one until he's nearly 18 at the going rate! a good few months ago (during the fleeting moments between last lockdown and this one and I managed to get 3 lessons in with my new instructor) I got a test booked in for the 4th of May to get my foot in the door but unless I am able to get a high number of lessons in soon, ill probably reschedule it for a bit later, as driving lessons are only resuming from the 12th of April (Iv got a Lesson booked in for the 15th ) so that does not leave much time between then and and the 4th of May (as I already have my foot in the door with an test booked I can then further look for slots from other people who have cancelled their test etc, normally people use this to grab an earlier slot then what they already have, which I have done so in the past, but you can use it both ways and try and find a later slot IIRC) 36 minutes ago, BorniteIdentity said: Are you planning on getting an actual car when you pass, or just the Inv*c*r?! the Invacar it is my actual car! having been housebound for the most part for over 8 years now I am very much looking forward to the freedom it will hopefully afford me Tickman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I appreciate the offer! but due to the tight timing of it all etc as you say, ill have to pass due to my back etc its bad enough when im just trying to get myself to the FoD, let alone when trying to rendezvous with someone else!

meggersdog Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Well the mighty Nissan is a 1995 car and the castle is only 15 miles away so no excuse. Hopefully I will be there. BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumbler Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The Micra is a hair over the 1996 limit which is inconvenient, but doable I suspect (it's only out by a month). I don't know how stringent they are on those dates, however, as there's a 2000 Seicento in one of their pictures. Anyhow I'm going to try to get there some way, no excuse given its only in Lincolnshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Had a chat with my wife last night, floating the idea of taking the 306 bASe. And... she didn't say no. Eeeexcellent. outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
